Entombed Add Bassist, Old Bassist Now On Guitar

Entombed

I’ve long been a fan of Entombed. Some people call them death ‘n’ roll because they have punk and death metal influences. I just like to call them a Swedish metal outfit. All this genre dissection is getting fucking old.

Anyways, Entombed have shifted their lineup a touch. Bassist Nico Elgstrand is no longer playing bass, but has shifted to guitar, becoming the iconic band’s second guitarist. To take over on bass, they’ve enlisted for Satyricon members Victor Brandt. Now, they’re a five-piece. Isn’t that sweet.

I’m not sure what Entombed’s future plans are — whether there’s touring on the horizon or a new album. They do have touring plans for Europe, but nothing for the states any time soon. It’s been three years since the release of their last disc, Serpent Saints — The Ten Amendments.

Here’s to hoping there is new material coming soon.
