Entombed is a Swedish death metal band which formed in 1987 under the name of Nihilist. Though Entombed began their career as an early pioneer of Scandinavian death metal which initially differed itself from its American counterpart with its distinct guitar tone, by the early 1990s their sound had broadened to include garage rock and other influences. This new style would eventually be described as death 'n' roll. Entombed have been influenced by bands such as Autopsy, Slayer,Kiss, The Misfits, Motörhead and Discharge.
Entombed's debut album was Left Hand Path, a cult favorite that established the band as a popular Swedish death metal band.Left Hand Path and its follow-up, Clandestine, were unique in that they featured what was sometimes referred to as a "buzz saw" guitar sound.
With the release of Wolverine Blues, Entombed changed their sound into a mix of hard rock and death metal, often referred to as death 'n' roll. Although this may have turned off many fans, it established their mainstream and critical reputation.Wolverine Blues is considered a classic of early 1990s death metal.
