I searched for 'Bloodbath'... but found nothing; so here be the place to express your thoughts on the Swedish Death Metal band.

To refresh memories;

Formed: 1999
Official Website: http://bloodbath.biz/
Releases:
- Breeding Death EP (2000)
- Resurrection through Carnage (2002)
- Nightmares Made Flesh (2004)

Now for my thoughts on the band...
They're god damn amazing. Line-ups have been great... sucks that they couldn't find a vocalist to suit their criteria though... Anyway, Bloodbath would have to be among my top 5 favourite bands.

Yes this band is amazing i love all their works especially Breeding Death, they are among my favorite bands aswell i just cant get enough of them

Breeding Death is awesome. Yepyep. But I'd have to say that my favourite song is Eaten.... haha. I love that song so much.

I haven't heard the EP, but Resurrection through Carnage and Nightmares Made Flesh were excellent albums. I like the first better. And the line-up is better too.

yes, great band, i have their full-lenth albums and i might check out the EP too, since you're all giving it a good word.
However i wanted to ask - are they searching for new vocalist ? they god damn should!!

I found their EP in this discount CD trade store or something...pretty solid death metal...sounds pretty traditional and from hearing the EP, their two albums must be really good...

Bloodbath is easily one of my favorite Death Metal bands they play just straight up old school death metal with no bullshit added. All three of their releases are amazing but it's going to be extremely hard for them to ever find a singer who is going to match up to Akerfeldt or Targaten. It's a shame they had to kick Dan Swano out though I wonder who they are going to sound without him. Also now that Axerot is playing drums in Opeth I wonder if they're going to get a new drummer.

Bloodbath is one of my favourite DM bands. Their last album especially with Tatgren on vocals was my favourite of the 2 studio albums. Cant wait to see what they do next without Swano and Tagtgren. At least Blakkheim and Axenrot are still part of the band!

I wish they still had Akerfeldt on vocals cuz there aren't too many people with a better low voice than him. I think Resurrection Through Carnage is better than Nightmares Made Flesh, but they're both really good. One thing that stood out for me, besides Mike's vocals, is the guitar. I can't really explain it....it just sounds unique.

A really great band. Maybe the best all star metal band of all time. They are so amazing because they sound like a modern version of the old-school swedish death metal bands. They are similar to Chaosbreed.

They were looking for a new vocalist for a longgg time... but recently they gave up and put the band on hold; none of the auiditions suited what they wanted.

yeah, i would have to say that my favorite song is eaten as well bloodygore! i love the lyrics, the singing, everything.:banger2: dan swano and peter tagtren are amazing!

ahhh yes Eaten how could i forget to mention such a great song definatly close to my favorite Bloodbath song

yeah that doesn't suprise me! it's nearly impossible to find substitution for the best two swedish (maybe even worldest) growlers.

That's exactly what they feared; that it would be extremely hard to replace their vocalist and find someone to match up to the likes of Mike Akerfeldt and Peter Tagtgren. It'll also be hard to replace Dan Swano... he was pretty god damn good on guitar...

Man I really want to hear another Bloodbath disc, those guys are sick and heavy....

Well actually it was mutual... he wanted to play less brutal death metal, and the band isn't about that; and this musical difference between them basically broke him out... He didnt want to play brutal death anymore, and that's what the band wants..

@bloodygore,
I heard all of them, Im a huge fan of Peter and Dan and Mikael in general, and Im hungery for more DM!

haha, ah I see. yeah, it'd be great for another album to come out, but, I dont know if its possible to match their past ones without the vocalist or guitarist.

I felt in love with the sound of guitars in Resurrection Through Carnage album. It sounds unique and their disto setting make it brutalll
Bloodbath 4 ever!

I heard them a long time ago and I really really love them. Very agressive. Their latest album is great. I'm still interested in hearing what it would be like without Dan Swano though. Nightmares Made Flesh is a great album, even if it is Akerfeldt-less. Those vocals are still top notch and unrelentless.

Love Bloodbath have all their discography and play them often. The 'Breeding Death' has to be one of my favourite EPs released, only three tracks but i enjoy them alot. Dont really have a favourite between 'Resurrection through Carnage' or 'Nightmares Made Flesh' because i play them often. Although Akerfeldt's growls are awsome.... though they always are.

This is absolutely my favourite Brutal Death Metal band. I just love their lyrics and old school style! Resurrection Through Carnage is for me slightly preferred over Nightmares Made Flesh, although both are extremely solid albums to my taste!

Accredited to have the "All Star Lineup" always. Bloodbath is one of my fav DM bands, Breeding Death has to be the best ever debut EP, Mickeal's vocals finally are on a one-plain-growling-stream unline Opeth, the musicans are awesome, song writing is brilliant. I have all of their releases, bought them , I some how feel Nightmares through Flesh has not been able to live up to the standards of the music released by the band earlier, i will definitely not attribute this factor to Mickeal's absence, but then, thats my Opinion. Good that i searched for this thread, i was really sure a thread on a band like this cannot be missed.

Ok, i've got all of Bloodbath now, will listen to them soon.

Love these guys, they kick ass

I tottaly agree with you..

I agree, when I first heard "Buried By The Dead" which was the first song I heard by Bloodbath I was taken away, and the guitar's made me think of refined chainsaw's, and that's how I have described Bloodbaths' music to people "Guitar's that sound like chainsaw's."

I actually just recently re-acquired the three Bloodbath album's and remembered why I liked them so much a few year's ago, and are definitely one of the best death metal band's period, probably my favourite with Cannibal Corpse taking a very close second place. Resurrection Through Carnage and Nightmare's Made Flesh are actually quite differant from one another, which is great because it's almost like two differant band's in a way, but I would have to say that Resurrection is my preferred album because of Mikael's vocal's and the unique guitar's, it's just fucking brutal.
