Full Thottle Doomy Death-N-Roll

"Far and away Entombed's best Death-N-Roll album. It may even be a better overall effort than "Left Hand Path" (no kidding). More thrashing than "Wolverine Blues" album, at any rate! Great song-writing! Very consistent. It just keeps raging on an on like rolling thunder, with each track standing out pretty well. Some killer bass-playing (of course). Such a strong vocal presence, and beautiful guitar solos, and swinging drumming. Reminds me of Motorhead's "Sacrifice" album.
The way these guys keep belting out rage-rock album to album after so many years leads us to the conclusion, these guys are still really pissed off!
The best track on Uprising is their cover of Deadhorse's "Scottish Hell." Deadhorse were a local Houston, TX band. The odd-ball lyrics are a Houston thing.
I've got to give this 5 stars, though only because as an album, it dominates this genre. It makes bands like Hatebreed, Pro-pain, Cro-bar, Slipknot, Static X, Korn, and Mudvayne look pretty weak."

"Those who are new to the whole Swedish death metal scene, here is the band you need to look up to. This is a fantastic album to start an Entombed obsession with as well. This is one of the most brutal yet listenable records of the new millenium. Dangerous combination.



Entombed have been around forever at this point, and their last couple albums have been great as well. Morning Star will someday stand up with some of thrash metal's greatest pieces. Uprising, however, is so raw, so garage, so dark, yet so swaggering that it cannot be ignored. This is the definition of Death'n'Roll. Simply put, if you love heavy music, you will love Uprising. This is a very hard to find gem, but worth

the effort."
