Info

A fairly new Death Metal band from Sweden, formed by 4 guys to create some rotten tunes and having a laugh and nothing more. Or as they say themselves; a one-time thing. It seems they have a good chat about it, as the vibe was too good to be ignored. A one-time thing became something serious in the form of Wretched Fate. The band certainly draw its inspiration from the Swedish scene, but more the new millennium kind than the golden era of Swedish Death Metal as Wretched Fate mixes the fast uptempo crunchy riffs of the Swedish Scene with the pounding fast brutality of the American one.

So it is not strange at all their main influence is Bloodbath, hence the cover of the opening track of Bloodbath’s debut album, “Ways to the Grave” of “Resurrection Through Carnage”. Compliments towards vocalist Adrian Selmani who has a good growl on this demo, quite in the region of Mikael Åkerfeldt during the beginning of Bloodbath, so keep an eye on Wretched Fate if you are a Bloodbath devotee. Well, I think I’ve mentioned Bloodbath enough, haven’t I? (Ricardo)
