4.0 out of 5 stars Death Metal Classic, October 5, 2005

By	The Painless (Netherlands) - See all my reviews

One of the best death metal albums I have ever heard. In fact for many years, it was the best, until I got into the At The Gates. This 1992 killer is the only Entombed album not to feature Petrov, but the vocals are still awesome. Many awesome tunes; Living Dead, Sinners Bleed, Evilyn, Blessed Be and Crawl are some of the best death metal songs ever. This is their darkest album, filled with brutal vocals, really dark riffs, melancholic and otherworldly solos and several well-used samples. The only problem with this album is that it can become a bit too much sometimes; you have to be in the mood for this one. The sheer intensity of the vocals and the guitar sound are not for all days. Also sometimes the songwriting isn't as consistent and cohesive as on later releases. Which makes sense for a young band. But still an essential classic in the genre, no doubt. This, together with Wolverine Blues and the (even better in my opinion) Hollowman EP is the best Entombed stuff. Recommended, a death metal classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars The shape of things to come for Entombed, June 10, 2004

By	JRM "JRM" (Corvallis, OR USA) - See all my reviews

Entombed's follow up to "Left Hand Path", Clandestine, is decidely less harsh but took strides in overall maturity and song structure.
A little clarification first: Nicke Andersson sang on all the songs. At this point in death metal not many bands had 'excelled' in the vocalist department anyhow. So his performance does nothing to hinder the quality of the music therein. But keep in mind there are no Morbid Angel-type guttural growls to be heard.
After a good 5-10 listens, I've found the overall pace gets monotonous here and there. The guitar work is classic Entombed, death n' roll. Upon listening to Morning Star and Inferno, even Uprising I can hear small tidbits of what made this album so great.
If you're an Entombed fan at all, you can't afford to be snob. Everything they put out is heavy and will stick your head comfortably.
Listen up and enjoy. Death metal history in the making.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clandestine is a classic death metal album., November 20, 2006

By	Puzzle box "smockey_421" (Kuwait) - See all my reviews

Alot of reviewers have said that their first album Left hand path was better which is true but it doesn't mean that this album was a sophmore slump, its just as good and it also has a different sound which means that they were evolving cause you could tell that these guys are talented. Back when this album was released in 1991 it was considered a trendsetting death metal album and has increased in importance throughout the years. Clandestine also finds these Swedish artists retaining the complexity and brutality of their first album while making and crafting better music and lyrics which is the result of drummer Nicke Andersson who wrote most of the songs. The best songs are Evilyn, Stranger Aeons and Crawl which in the demo track sounds alot longer and better in my opinion.
