Bloodbath is a titan of death metal from Stockholm, Sweden, notable for the inclusion of Katatonia and Opeth members, with the band's recent line-up beckoning Nick Holmes of UK doom legends Paradise Lost to join in the brutality. Formed in 1998 with a mutual fascination for horror and the glory days of death metal from classic bands such as Entombed, Morbid Angel, Cancer and Autopsy, Bloodbath has remained a leading light of extreme metal since their Breeding Death EP was unleashed back in 2000, and a formidable force for over 15 years, further cemented by their devastating previous opus, Grand Morbid Funeral (2014); a master-class of rotten and punishing death metal.
