Morning Star (Entombed album)


Morning Star is the seventh full-length album by Swedish metal band Entombed, and was released in September 13, 2001. The album is more experimental than previous efforts, and shows the band returning to a more traditional death metal sound overall, though without completely abandoning elements of death 'n' roll. The album also introduces a handful of straightforward, fast-paced death/thrash tracks, a first for the band at the time. The album gets a stellar review by Allmusic.com, ending with this recommendation: "Any fan of quality underground metal should find this to be a superb effort from an underrated band."
