Bloodgutter - Death Mountain LP

Bloodgutter - Death Mountain LP

With “Death Mountain”, Danish death metal outfit Bloodgutter unleash a filthy, groove-driven slab of old-school brutality that proudly embraces the raw spirit of death metal’s golden years. Catchy yet crushing, dark yet unmistakably groovy, this album is built on riffs that dig deep and refuse to let go.

Sonically, Death Mountain leans heavily toward the Swedish death metal tradition, favoring chainsaw guitar tones, thick low-end and an authentic, no-frills production style over polished modern extremes. The result is a sound that feels visceral, organic and unapologetically old-school. While the band draws inspiration from a wide range of influences, their sonic identity has often been described as a bastard mix of Entombed and Obituary, combining Scandinavian filth with crushing groove.

The guitars are tuned low and coated in grime, locking tightly with pounding drums and a weighty bass foundation that keeps everything grounded and menacing. Rather than chasing technical excess, Bloodgutter focus on simple, effective songwriting, built around memorable riffs, relentless pacing and a dark, oppressive atmosphere.

Mastered by Jacob Bredahl at Dead Rat Studios, Death Mountain retains its raw edge while delivering the punch and clarity needed to fully showcase the band’s groove-heavy approach. Every track feels direct and purpose-driven, designed to hit hard whether blasted through speakers or experienced on vinyl.

If your idea of death metal is raw, groovy, old-school and drenched in filth, Death Mountain is an album that demands your attention. Bloodgutter prove that sometimes the most brutal path forward is the one carved decades ago, straight into the heart of death metal’s darkest traditions.
