Record of the DayThe album that owned the day
Thirteen Bells of Doom
Grotesque · In The Embrace Of Evil
† Liner note
Grotesque, the short-lived Gothenburg band that burned out around 1989 leaving little more than one release; its members seeded two of the day other acts, At the Gates and Liers in Wait.
13:35
Souls of the Evil Departed
At The Gates · Gardens of Grief
At The Gates's 5th day in the record.
† Liner note
At the Gates before Slaughter of the Soul: these early records are stranger and more chaotic than the melodic death template the band is later credited with inventing.
14:25
The Red In The Sky Is Ours / The Season To Come
At The Gates · The Red In The Sky Is Ours (Deluxe)
14:46
Overlord
Liers In Wait · Spiritually Uncontrolled
† Liner note
Liers in Wait made a single 1992 EP, Spiritually Uncontrolled Art, and then vanished; another branch of the Grotesque family tree.

Cornered Rat
The Great Deceiver · Jet Black Art
† Liner note
The Great Deceiver, one of several bands Tomas Lindberg fronted after At the Gates.
17:20
The Tremor
Nightrage · Sweet Vengeance
† Liner note
Sweet Vengeance (2003) has Tomas Lindberg on vocals, the same voice that fronted Grotesque and At the Gates earlier in the day.
18:27
Misanthropic Generation
Disfear · Misanthropic Generation
† Liner note
Misanthropic Generation (2003) is the Disfear album Lindberg sings on, folding the day crust back into its death metal by way of one man.
