Smokey clear/grey vinyl. Limited 400 copies

Hot on the heels of 2020’s critically acclaimed debut ep, Madness Comes, Swedish death metal assembly, Grand Cadaver (as a group, but full of legendary musicians from the scene) returned with the debut album Into The Maw Of Death in 2021. On vocals we find Dark Tranquillity’s Mikael Stanne but the music underneath him is substantially less melodic this time though, with churning chainsaw riffs and a classic Swedeath sound that makes no attempt for frills. The rampaging opener Disanimated is a perfect example, drawing blood from all the legends like Dismember and Grave then kicking it into high gear. The rest of the band are no slouches either, drawing experience from their time in bands like Disrupted, Pagandom, Expulsion and even Katatonia to give us plenty of iconic Swedish influence. Grim Eternal adds a little dissonance to a relentlessly memorable guitar line, while Reign Through Fire appears to have been written on an actual chainsaw, such is the ferocity of the tone and murderous in execution.
