This is the often forgotten gem in the great early Entombed discography for sure. Everyone always talks about of course the mega classic ‘Left Hand Path’ and its follow up album ‘Clandestine’ but to me, the latter was a bit of a let down. Loved the previous projects of Johnny Dordevic, but his vocals on Clandestine were nowhere near as good or powerful as the great L.G. Petrov, or Orvar Safstrom (from Nirvana 2002 glory) on this release. Even if two songs out of three are not completely new (Bitter Loss is on the first album, while Crawl would have been on Clandestine), this EP is really a must have. The version of ‘Crawl’ on this EP completely blows the ‘Clandestine’ version to smithereens! Powerful, cutting drums, trademark Sunlight Studios production, and tortured mid-high old school vocals make this a timeless classic. ‘Forsaken’ transcends from sheer Swedish brutality, to one of the best melodic parts in Swedish death metal. The middle/end of this song is just filled with so much feeling that it still gives me goose bumps every time I hear it. Third and final track, ‘Bitter Loss’, is a reworking of the song from the first album with better production, and it’s just as good as the first time around. This is an absolute must-own release for any self-respecting old school Swedish fanatic out there, a true diamond in the rough
