Så jävla metal - Swedish death metal

About Swedish death metal

Swedish death metal originated in the late 1980s and developed further in the 1990s. Many Swedish death metal bands are associated with the melodic death metal movement, thus giving Swedish death metal a different sound from other variations of death metal. Unlike American death metal groups, the first Swedish bands were rooted in hardcore punk. Gothenburg has a large melodic death metal scene while Stockholm is known for its more raw death metal scene.
