Bloodbath is a titan of death metal from Stockholm, Sweden, notable for the inclusion of Katatonia, Opeth & Paradise Lost members. Formed in 1998 with a mutual fascination for horror & the glory days of death metal (especially the old Florida & Stockholm ‘Sunlight’ scenes), the band has remained a leading light of extreme metal since their 'Breeding Death' EP was unleashed back in 2000 & a formidable force in the metal world for over twenty-five years.
Recorded at Ghost Ward Studios & the City of Glass Studios in Stockholm & mixed by David Castillo, ‘Grand Morbid Funeral’, Bloodbath’s fourth full-length studio release, was undoubtedly the band’s darkest & dirtiest opus upon its release in 2014; an organic collection of filth-ridden tracks straight from the grave, boldly eschewing the approach of somewhat over-produced modern death metal in favour of something altogether more rotten to the bone. The album was also the first to feature current vocalist Nick Holmes of UK titans Paradise Lost.
With doom-like melodies mixed with raw & savage riffing & featuring a number of guest appearances including Chris Reifert & Eric Cutler from US gore-masters Autopsy, ‘Grand Morbid Funeral’ marked a new high-point of brutality for Bloodbath.
