Wolverine Blues

The only death metal album to feature an official Marvel Comics tie-in (against the band’s wishes), Entombed’s third shovelful of grave dirt proved that the Swedish death metal pioneers had their ears to the ground. By incorporating nascent groove metal stylings, they helped invent death ‘n’ roll without watering down their sepulchral savagery. You don’t need much more confirmation that they were the best they were at what they did.
