Entombed is a Swedish death metal band formed in 1987 under the name of Nihilist. Entombed began their career as an early pioneer of Scandinavian death metal which initially differed from its American counterpart by its distinct "buzzsaw" guitar tone. However, by the early 1990s their sound had broadened to include garage rock and other influences. This new style would eventually be described as death 'n' roll. Entombed's main influences include bands such as Obituary, Napalm Death,[1] GBH, Suicidal Tendencies, the Stupids, Atheist,[2] Executioner,[3] Dirty Rotten Imbeciles,[4] Slayer, Celtic Frost, Repulsion, and Autopsy.[5] Along with Dismember, Grave and Unleashed, Entombed has been referred to as one of the "big four" of Swedish death metal.[6]
