The following list of the 10 Gothenburg metal bands you need to check out was written and curated by Suicide Records' owner Roger Andersson.
Blessings
This is for fans of At The Drive In and Converge and I am one of them. Oh YES!
Agrimonia
For all of you who appreciate the "Gothenburg Sound," this might just be for you.
Fredag Den 13:e
This really has that Swedish crust-punk D-beat nerve. Full on fury!
Industrial Puke
Disrupt and Dismember had a child (sonically) called Industrial Puke. In terms of sheer ear-pleasing nastiness, Industrial Puke provides one of the most satisfying combinations of death metal and hardcore.
Novarupta
This is what happens when you blur the lines between band and project, collective and art. Three released albums (so far) of a total of 13 songs with 14 different singers. It's heavy, dark and powerful. This is its own universe! "The world took me for a freak, so I used that to create a freq," added Novarupta's own Alex Stjernfeldt.
Child
This is the perfect mix of three equal parts grindcore, D-beat and death metal. What more is there to wish for?
Obstruktion
One of Gothenburg's absolute best hardcore bands right now! With energy, sound and attitude in the right place.
Myteri
A lot of great crust/punk hardcore bands are from Gothenburg. And because that is my core in music I have to bring this to the table.
Pablo Matisse
This band is straight in your face rock 'n roll punk.
Spøgelse
This is old school, but new and fresh at the same time.
