Stockholm death metal band formed in 1989, known for raw aggression and Norse mythology lyrics.
For their sound, 'Dead To Me' captures that raw Swedish death metal aggression. For their themes, 'To Miklagård' shows Hedlund's Viking mythology focus.
Unleashed came from the same Swedish scene that produced Entombed and Dismember, playing a style that pulls from thrash influences like Slayer. Their songs like 'Peace, Piece By Piece' and 'Dead To Me' deliver that signature aggression, while Johnny Hedlund's lyrics consistently explore Viking history rather than modern politics. They've been putting out albums steadily since the early '90s, from 'Across the Open Sea' in 1993 to 'No Sign of Life' in 2019.
Formed in Stockholm in 1989 with Johnny Hedlund on vocals, the band has seen various lineup changes over the years while Hedlund remained the constant. They've released albums consistently since the early 1990s, moving from records like 'Victory' in 1995 to more recent work like 'Odalheim' in 2012.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
