Unleashed - Where No Life Dwells (1991) Cover

Along with Entombed, Dismember and Grave, Unleashed played a massive role in bringing Scandinavian death metal to the world. While each of these bands do have a similar sound, each of them had something interesting to offer. Unleashed's debut album Where No Life Dwells is a brutal affair, with low guttural vocals, relentless drumming and some groovy riffs that contain that trademark dirty Swedish sound that took off around this time.

If anything lets this album down though, I have to say it's the drumming. It's tight, yet monotonous and that one-two style just hasn't aged all that well. There are some attempts to change things up on some tracks so I shouldn't be too harsh. Really though, this is all about the riffs, and there are plenty of crushing sections and memorable grooves to keep me happy. Highlights include Before the Creation of Time, If They Had Eyes, Into Glory Ride and ...And the Laughter Has Died.
