"When In Sodom Revisited " - 7"
Release date on June 25th 2012
The Entombed, in short, is an institution. It’s what put the Swedish metal scene on the map and kept it there for 20+ years. With a unique approach, challenging song structures and en evolving yet defined sound, the band stands out. Period.
Ranging from the death metal years of the early 1990’s, up through the Death ‘N’ Roll era and even up until recent outings the band continuously sets their own standards.
Therefore; this deluxe project is homage to The Entombed. We are taking one of their classic songs out for a dust off. A revisit if you will. At the same time The Entombed are paying their royal respects.
The “When In Sodom” track captures the essence of The Entombed very well. It’s heavy and immensely riff based while also one of the very first songs recorded without founding member Uffe Cederlund, who departed in 2006 prior to the original EP release. Therefore the “When In Sodom” 5-track EP turned out to be a defining release in terms of how we know and appreciate The Entombed today.
The original tracks to the song were sent to Klaus Hedegaard Nielsen (a.o. of Beta Satan, Marybell Katastrophy fame) who re-mixed and re-mastered the song so that it shows the much needed respect to the original version while being given a proper boost at the same time. It’s been cleaned up and stands out as an organic and timeless outing.
As an extra tip of the hat to “When In Sodom”, Klaus Hedegaard Nielsen composed, recorded and mixed a horror movie inspired rendition of the song cunningly entitled “Sodom Revisited”. The track focuses on the eerie intro with a church choir and organ contributing further to the B-movie thematic much in the vein of Ed Wood.
To top of this 7” The Entombed entered the studio to record a cover of the classic King Diamond song “Welcome Home”. Naturally the band pulls it off fantastically, even with LG hitting the falsetto for a second, and funnily enough it’s actually the first released recordings from the band since the lineup change with Victor Brandt joining the band on bass and Nico Elgstrand switching from bass to guitar.
This silver colored 70 gram 7” slice of heaven is now a distinct part of the The Entombed’s ever growing discography and will surely become a collector’s item before long.
