A classic of Swedish death metal

"Death metal blended hardcore punk and epic heavy metal, but for the most part was a genre of chromatic, ominous, nihilistic rhythm riffs.



The Swedes took that genre and re-invented it by working elegant yet aggressive melodies into that framework, and birthed some amazing bands starting with Carnage and Nihilist.



In my view, while Entombed is good, the less-celebrated early Dismember work is better for people who love death metal, while Entombed is better for Motorhead fans who want to like death metal.



These songs are both vicious and beautiful, with melodies soaring above the abrasive riffs, making us think of a world beyond the mundane existence where the stakes are higher and conflict is the norm.



While the Swedish death metal scene was so incestuous it's hard to claim any band really took the lead, this CD defined the genre along with the first albums from Carnage, At the Gates, Therion and Unleashed, and still sounds as fresh and vital today."

An Everlasting Masterpiece

"Along with Entombed, Dismember helped to pave way to form the infamous Swedish death metal sound. With their 1991 debut, "Like An Ever Flowing Stream", Dismember plays death metal, but with an added twist to it. First off, the biggest standout in this music is the guitar work. The riffs simply attack the ears with a deep guitar tone. The lead guitar work by Nicke Andersson from Entombed gives us some impressive solos during the music, except in opening track "Override of the Overture", in which guitarist David Blomqvist did a nice job supplying on. Former drummer Fred Estby (who left the band earlier this year, unfortunately) is an outstanding drummer, and he keeps the beat well with the riffs. Matti Kárki, the vocalist, stands out well. This CD best represents how Swedish metal can be well executed and still retain a nice melody in certain tracks.



An overall essential for the death metal fan."
