Hidden Gems & Guilty Pleasures: Entrails (Sweden)

Entrails (Death Metal // Sweden)

Swedish death metal veterans Entrails are back with a new studio effort titled »Grip Of Ancient Evil«, to be released on July 18th, 2025 via Hammerheart Records. The album’s first single, »Wings Of Death«, is now available to stream on our YouTube channel and all streaming platforms.

Following the acclaimed release of »An Eternal Time Of Decay«, Entrails dug deeper into the grave to conjure up their darkest and most savage material to date with their eighth full-length album, »Grip Of Ancient Evil«.

In addition to honouring all its promises of brutality, the LP also features a number of surprises, including guest vocals by Per “Hellbutcher” Gustavsson (Friends Of Hell, Nifelheim) on the song »Inner Demon« and some intriguing acoustic passages.

Fronted by relentless leader Jimmy Lundqvist since the band’s rebirth 15 years ago, Entrails have gone on to bless the European death metal scene with hailed performances at cult festivals such as Netherlands Deathfest, Obscene Extreme Festival, Kill-Town Death Fest, and Hellfest.

In the finest tradition of Swedish old-school death metal, Entrails deliver another uncompromising homage to extreme music with this new ritualistic offering. If an unhealthy mix of HM-2 buzzsaw guitars, bludgeoning rhythms, and horror-drenched lyrics sounds like a delicacy, »Grip Of Ancient Evil« should be right up your alley.
