Bloodbath - Grand Morbid Funeral LP

Bloodbath - Grand Morbid Funeral LP

With Grand Morbid Funeral, Bloodbath reaffirm their status as one of the leading forces in modern old-school death metal. The Swedish supergroup, featuring members of Katatonia and Opeth, dives deeper into the darkness with their fourth studio album, delivering their dirtiest and most uncompromising release to date.

Following the departure of Mikael Åkerfeldt, the band welcomes Nick Holmes (Paradise Lost) as their new frontman. His unmistakable vocal style adds a grim and commanding presence, perfectly complementing the album’s raw and sinister atmosphere.

Rooted in a deep admiration for the classic death metal scenes of Stockholm and Florida, Grand Morbid Funeral channels the spirit of early 90s extremity while maintaining a modern edge. The album rejects overproduced trends in favor of an organic, filthy sound, capturing the essence of death metal in its purest form.

Recorded at Ghost Ward and City of Glass Studios in Stockholm and mixed by David Castillo, the album delivers crushing riffs, relentless drumming and haunting, doomy passages. The songwriting balances brutality with atmosphere, creating a dynamic and immersive listening experience.

Adding to its appeal are guest appearances from Chris Reifert and Eric Cutler of Autopsy, further reinforcing the album’s connection to death metal’s legacy. The result is a record that feels both authentic and essential.

Grand Morbid Funeral stands as a defining chapter in Bloodbath’s discography, a raw, aggressive and deeply atmospheric tribute to the genre’s roots.
