I hope I got the name right. Anyway, I heard Mikael and members of Katatonia have a gore metal band. What is the name of the band? Mikael Akerfeldt is one of my favorite vocalists and I would love to hear his talent with a more brutal band. However I don't know the name. If someone knows the name please tell me.

The band is called Bloodbath, it also features the singer of Hypocrisy.

Oh, btw www.metal-archives.com anything you ever need to know about a real metal band can be found there.

Much appreciated Muzzy. Good to see you again.

Yeah I read about that in the Opeth biography thing.

Arkerfeldt isnt on the upcoming Bloodbath release though.

He's on Resurrection Through Carnage and Breeding Death, but theres been a line up change for this new one. Swano has moved from drums to guitar, being replaced by Martin “Axe� Axenrot. Replacing Mikael is Peter Tägtgren.

Anders "Blakkheim" Nyströms guitar alone on the last two releases sounded like a fucken mammothised chainsaw, two of 'em is going to be interesting.

I was planning on getting Ressurection through carnage, but thanks anyway Cold Blue Steel.

The EP they released is good too. Furnace Funeral is a great track.

I got ressurection through carnage. Pretty damn good.

Yeah i head the first track on ressurection.... it was pretty good.

I checked out the released track from the new album, and while its good, the new vocals just dont have the same balls Mikael's did.

Instrumentaly theres a little more tremolo melody-ing, and all round riff changing and variation in the drums, though not devoid of that Bloodbath sound. Just not as chuggy as before, and without the "ROAR I AM MIKAEL FUCKING ARKERFELDT".

Still good, just minus some of the extra "BOOM" of yore.
