Editorial Reviews

Swedish Death Metal veterans, Dismember, re-release their debut 1991 album 'Like an Everflowing Stream' with four bonus tracks. In league with acts such as Entombed, Morbid Angel, Obituary, Bolt thrower, Deicide and Cannibal Corpse, this album played a big part in the development of the 'Swedish Metal' sound. Probably one of the all time TOP 10 death metal albums, as long as Dismember live. Death Metal will reign!!! Karmageddon. 2006

4.0 out of 5 stars Vital artifact from the golden age of of Swedish death metal, October 16, 2002

This review is from: Like an Ever Flowing Stream (Audio CD)

Regardless of your take on the Swedish contributions to metal over the past decade, death metal peaked in that country about the same time (90-93) as it did everywhere else. While Morbid Angel and Deicide festered in the Florida swamps, Suffocation tore up the concrete in New York, and Carcass grossed 'em out in Great Britain; Entombed, Dismember, Carnage, and early versions of Therion and Dark Tranquility created perhaps the most satisfying sounds of the era. Entombed's "Left Hand Path" is the opening salvo and benchmark of Swedish death, and this album is often labelled a copy. Not true. Sure, that album shares with it the crunchy Sunlight studios guitar sound that's somehow simultaneously glistening and dirty, and both bands have a similar hardcore-derived-but-rock-tinged sense of forward motion. However, Dismember have their own sound: more manic and raw than Entombed, and with a different sense of melody. This isn't for fans of polished stuff like Opeth or In Flames, but if you like raw, bristly, propulsive death metal with hints of traditional metal melodicism, this is an essential classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top o' the heap!, March 21, 2000

This review is from: Like an Ever Flowing Stream (Audio CD)

After i stumbled upon this CD in '91, Swedish metal haz changed my whole view on the death metal scene. With the release of 'Clandestine' by Entombed, 'Penetralia' by Hypocrisy , and the ruthless 'Destroy, Erase,Improve' by Meshuggah, i have had countless hours of listening enjoyment. All of these are 5 star CD's, and the follow up releasez are also of the highest caliber, but 'Ever Flowing Stream' iz STILL my fav. It iz raw, unpolished, and pulplike , which givez you that urge to slam yer head on the pavement! The bottom line iz....you will be glad you bought it!

YES FIENDZZ...THIS IS BACK IN PRINT!!!!

Maybe the best death metal album ever made, it is scarey to even think about this album that is how bad a$$ it is!!

If you wanna see if you can handle something which only a few can take..then this is the cd for you!!

If played very loud..you will be visited by the J.B.I. or yer local police riot team!! if this was played at max capacity by nasa or something like that..we would no longer have a solar system!!

Try and open yer mind and buy this DISC!!! JUST HIDEOUS!!!
