Title: The pinnacle of their career
Review: In their day, Entombed were untouchable. While many consider their debut "Left Hand Path" to be their best, I prefer "Clandestine" as it is heavier and more polished, while retaining the leaden heaviness and aggression of its predecessor. The track "Living Dead" has to be one of the most face ripping openings to an album of all time. No messing around, straight into it. Listening to this album is best done in one sitting, as an entirety, rather than dissected track by track. Even though vocalist LG Petrov was temporarily absent from the band during the recording, the vocals of Alex Hellid (not Johnny Dordevic, as the liner notes say) are the most brutal the band produced in their recording career.After "Clandestine" Entombed's career took a downward slide into the murky world of "Death n' Roll", almost completely deserting their death metal roots. If only they had continued further down the Left Hand Path...
