UNLEASHED "Warrior" /Ltd. LP/

First re-release of the sixth full-length studio album by legendary Swedish Death Metal band.
"Hell's Unleashed" is maybe the perfect title for the first release after a five-year break from recording when it comes to Death Metal-pioneers. The album marks a turning-point in the band's career and is maybe the most underrated output up to date.
While most bands tend to strive for innovation and progression, Unleashed has never considered musical development a priority. These old-school Death Metallers have never changed much, and, as expected, "Hell's Unleashed" contains no surprises. What it does contain is fourteen tracks of groovy, old school Death Metal at it best!
Vocalist Johnny Hedlund's voice is very distinctive, mostly because he does more yelling than growling. The music is decent; they has done a new good rerecord. Displaying a Death Metal sound that can only be described as their very own, Unleashed envisions macabre rituals with Satan and other, lesser demons with undeniable joy. The remarkably heavy groove that highlights each and every song is unusual considering the genre Unleashed is thrown into, yet is evident on every count. Songs such as "Demoneater" and "Dissection Leftovers" paint morbid pictures in your imagination. "Hell's Unleashed" is exactly that, as the evil undertones prevail throughout this release and prove Unleashed is still finely in tune with their surroundings and continue reigning as one of the better Death Metal bands on the scene!!
Re-release from the original masters with the slightly improved artwork. Limited to 200 copies 180-gram black vinyl.

The fourteenth full-length studio album by legendary Swedish Death Metal band.
Death Metal legends are back to defend their throne!
Formed back in 1989 by Johnny Hedlund, Unleashed have been delivering supreme Death Metal in the sign of their Viking ancestors from day one! The Einherjar legions of Asgard transfer Viking values and traditions into modernity and forge another uncompromising musical weapon.
With the release of "No Sign Of Life", the Death Metal pioneers, that influenced a whole musical genre, deliver another work of sheer brutality.
The rage paves its way straight from the first notes of the album opener “The King Lost His Crown” and leaves no time to breathe during the entire playing time. The album unfolds as an unstoppable war battalion and builds up on Unleashed’s well established trademark sounds and lyrics. Accompanied by shouts hailing Odin, heavy guitar riffs take no prisoners on “The Highest Ideal”, until the album finds a glorious end on “Here at the End of the World”.
The Chief Vikings of Swedish Death Metal manage to play modern sounding Old-School Death Metal and leave no doubt that they are still true to their roots after 32 years of existence. Unleashed are and stay the unchallenged leaders of Sweden’s Death Metal forefathers. Hail Odin!
Strictly limited to 300 copies, Red Vinyl in Gatefold Cover.

The debut EP and the first full-length studio album by legendary Swedish Death Metal band.
Back in the late 80s, a Swedish Underground Death Metal band named Nihilist turned into the breeding ground from which two big players of the genre emerged: Entombed and Unleashed. Together with Grave and Dismember, these bands are crucial for turning the Punkish Scandinavian Death Metal sound into a global phenomenon, defining and refining its stylistics, and making it a successful genre to the very day.
Parallel to records by Asphyx, Tiamat, Grave and Morgoth, Unleashed’s debut album was one of many all-time-classics of Death Metal released in 1991. On "Where No Life Dwells", the Swedish outfit reveals a commitment to two kinds of Death Metal: fast and faster. The album is considered as a classic among Death Metal fans.
2001 re-issue contains 7 bonus tracks and 2 bonus videos. This is a perfect opportunity to bring back this timeless and gloomy masterpiece. Pure and enthusiastic, this disc plays like an audio textbook for those interested in the state and design of early-90s Death Metal excess. A total of 7 songs were recorded in 1990. Two of them made it onto "And the Laughter Has Died...." 7" Single (1991), three made onto "In The Eyes Of Death" compilation (1991), and two remained unmixed, available on this reissue. Now packaged with additional tracks, "Where No Life Dwells" remains a landmark album by the long-running Swedes.
