Entombed's debut album was Left Hand Path, a cult favorite that established the band as a popular death metal band. The follow-up, Clandestine, was just as popular. These first two albums were unique in that they featured what was sometimes referred to as a "chainsaw" guitar sound which became a staple of Swedish death metal worldwide. It was created using the Boss Heavy Metal distortion pedal and a Peavey amplifier. This iconic guitar tone spawned the niche sub-genre referred to as 'entombedcore' which consists of just hardcore bands using the infamous chainsaw tone as part of their sound.
After the Gods of Grind tour, Entombed began changing their sound into a mix of groove metal, hard rock and death metal frequently called death n roll. Although this may have turned off many fans, it established their mainstream and critical reputation. Wolverine Blues and Hollowman are widely considered classics of early 1990s death metal, but were followed by problems with various record companies.
In 1999, Entombed released Uprising, which was an anti-commercial return to the band's roots. The follow-up, Morning Star returned to Hollowman and Wolverine Blues style metal. They have since released 2003's album Inferno, a continuation of the 'death n roll' style that has become their trademark sound.
2006 saw the release of new music from Entombed, with the When in Sodom EP on June 6 (or 06/06/06), and the full length album Serpent Saints - The Ten Amendments was released on July 9th, 2007. This album is the group's first release with drummer Olle Dahlstedt (of Alpha Safari and ex-Misery Loves Co.), who replaced long-time drummer Peter StjΓ€rnvind in 2006.

Entombed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's all my game
Everything you see
Know it's been set up by me
Got the fury and the flame
And the box in which it came
A know you want to be
Sister brother
Unite all Satan's lovers
No-bo-daddy is the CEO
Sister brother
Unite all Satan's lovers
No-bo-daddy-o
Nobodaddy, that is I
And I never die
I mean eternal bliss
Come give daddy a kiss
Goddess of the promised land
Was spitting in your hand
Now you're leaving her
For the love of Lucifer
Sister brother
Unite all Satan's lovers
No-bo-daddy is the CEO
Sister brother
Unite all Satan's lovers
No-bo-daddy-o
The lyrics to Entombed's song Nobodaddy are complex and packed with symbolism. Nobodaddy is a name that sounds like a bastardization of "nobody," and it represents the idea of nihilism, or the belief in nothingness. The lyrics suggest that Nobodaddy is the mastermind behind everything, and that every aspect of our lives has already been predetermined. The fury and the flame in the song may represent the destructive forces of anger and passion, which can lead us to the abyss if not restrained.
The song's call to "unite all Satan's lovers" is a provocative statement, but it is not meant to be taken literally. Instead, it is an invitation to reject the status quo and join a group of like-minded individuals who share a common belief in the power of the self. The repeated refrain of "No-bo-daddy is the CEO" suggests that the concept of individual empowerment is central to the song's message.
The final lines of the song reference the goddess of the promised land, who has been abandoned in favor of the love of Lucifer. This may represent a rejection of traditional religion in favor of a more personal and individualistic approach to spirituality. Overall, the song can be interpreted as a call to reject the constraints of society and embrace a more free, autonomous existence.

Nobodaddy, that's my name
I go by the name of Nobodaddy.

Everything is under my control.

Close to me, under my influence.
