Wolverine Blues

Wolverine Blues, released in 1993 by Swedish band Entombed, marks a shift from their earlier, more traditional death metal toward a heavier, groove-oriented sound often labeled death n roll. The album pairs guttural vocals and distorted, fuzzy guitars with mid-tempo rock rhythms and riff-driven hooks, emphasizing groove and swagger over sheer speed. Its raw, gritty tone and incorporation of bluesy and punk-tinged rock elements helped establish a looser, more rock-infused approach to extreme metal that many fans and bands note as a turning point for the genre.
