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 Stjärnvind in 2006.

Seeing Red
Entombed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It helps me see things straight
I'm doing everything
For the purpose of improvement
Don't ask me why
'Cause it don't faze me one iota
I'm the alpha and omega
It's just the warm up for the work ahead
Food for my mind, emotionally seared
Beckons as big as an atomic-bomb
Wipe off my cosmetic tears
I'm seeing red
I open my eyes
It roots me to the spot
So young at heart
Independent in thought and mind
Test my nerves
I'm doing this for kicks
And it gives me everything
That is here for me to find
Don't ask me when I began to hate
'Cause I don't recall a time I didn't
Am I the only one of my kind?
No!?
And who is not a parasite?
Can you name me just one?
I see your eyes and I know for a fact
I'm not your only son

No!?
Surely there must be others
And who is not a parasite?
Who doesn't feed off others or society?
Can you name me just one?
Can you think of a single person who is self-sufficient?
I see your eyes and I know for a fact
I can sense your true intentions and motives
I'm not your only son
I am not the only one who feels this way or thinks like this

"So, which concept should we use for the Seeing Red video? The theater with the band footage, the lesbians, or the Toxic Avenger tie-in?"
"What do you mean 'which concept?' We're doing all of them."
"What, like at the same time?"
"Exactly!"

Lloyd came in and ruled...still wish we would have used his suggestion to let Peter be working a drumfill on the snare but when the camera pans down it would be revealing that he was really putting together a sandwich :) Lloyd RULES!
