Sweden's Bloodbath are perhaps the ultimate supergroup to emerge in the last 10 years. Containing Dan Swano (ex-Edge of Sanity) on drums, Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth) on vocals, Blackheim (Katatonia and Diabolical Masquerade) on Guitars, and Jonas renkse (Katatonia, October Tide) on bass,the band have released a 3 song e.p. titled "Breeding Death" and it simply crushes!

3 songs,13 minutes of pure, unadulterated brutality paying tribute to the old school Death Metal days when bands like Entombed, Cancer, Morbid Angel, Death and Dismember were just beginning. If you are a fan of ANY of the aforementioned bands,I strongly urge you to check out Bloodbath. They do not disappoint.

Bloodbath is an amazing death metal band that recalls the very great Slayer in their heydey.Super brutal and intensive, about the only thing wrong with their Breeding Death debut is that it only contains three songs!!!Presented as a tribute to old school death metal, Bloodbath goes way beyond what currently is being thrashed around in the genre today.It is little wonder why the band possesses so much power and force, as Bloodbath contains an all-star line-up of Swedish musicians, starting off with Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth on driving vocal rantings!Also featured in the band are Anders Nystrom from Katatonia and Diabolical Masquerade on guitars, and Jonas Renkse from Katatonia and October Tide on bass.And let's not forget the great Dan Swano fromerly of Edge Of Sanity, who stands in admirably as Bloodbath's drummer.Recorded at Swano's own Sanctuary Studios, Breeding Death by Bloodbath is too good to be just a one-time side project -- fortunately the band is hinting there may just be much more to come...
