Left Hand Path 1990 Hat

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.
