Hand 1990 Merch
Description: Left Hand Path is the debut studio album by Swedish death metal band Entombed, released on June 4, 1990. In Western esotericism, the Left-Hand Path and Right-Hand Path are the dichotomy between two opposing approaches to magic, often seen as good and evil. The record is noted for defining the style of Swedish death metal by being the first studio album to feature the "buzzsaw" style guitar tone that would go on to become a staple for the regional scene. The tone was achieved using a heavily de-tuned setting (B tuning) combined with maxed-out HM-2 Heavy Metal and DS-1 Distortion pedals.
Description: This artwork embodies the cold, haunting essence of Swedish death metal’s foundation. A spectral graveyard scene opens into a foreboding forest path, bathed in chilling blue and shadow. Tombstones and twisted trees frame the entrance like sentinels of doom, while a glowing, hellish yellow trail winds through the darkness, beckoning the lost toward eternal damnation. The iconic Entombed logo crowns the piece in jagged lettering, heavy and unholy, while the words Left Hand Path whisper like a sinister invocation below. The atmosphere is at once gothic and suffocating, capturing the raw aggression, eerie atmosphere, and underground spirit of the album that changed death metal forever.
