Ok here is my "emotional" and "instructive" response ;)
You got it backwards. Most wars weren't about religion but religion didn't help much to prevent them either! So what are religions good for if we kill more people then ever even AFTER the lord has revealed himself to us (as you claim it has happened)?
After thousands of years for religions doing “it’s work" we ended up with the biggest wars EVER in history learning that we got far to good in killing that we can afford another chapter of that. Talking about nukes, chemo-, and bio-weapons. THAT'S when we figured out we need something new, something else and something better and THEREFORE we installed the UN amongst other things.
And you can say what you want but this brought us the biggest period of peace EVER in history!
It was all that! Not religion.
Next thing. Please don't just say "there would be no good and evil without religion". That's your opinion but the smartest people on the planet can't find a definite position on this and the way you say it makes it sound like it’s a fact when it's really not. You want us to think about it. Fair. I did. So in return please think about his. If it is true and without religion and you mean Christianity ofc there would be no good and evil (and keep wording in that way to avoid morals because this way everybody knows what is meant) this means before the old testament we would be total savages, totally lost with no clue whatsoever what good is and what evil is. Everything we learned about history and culture tells us this isn't true.
In fact I would even go so far to say that the vast majority of people (not the exception of the rule meaning sociopaths etc.) exactly know that is wrong to kill and hurt someone. Even to such an extent that learning of the bible later in life only takes it a few notches further because the concept already meant sense before. What I mean by that is that the bible isn't bringing anything alien and new to us it's only taking it one yard further and basing it on what everybody already felt and knew.
However saying without bible there would be NO CONCEPT whatsoever about good and evil you would see this huuuuge change of behavior in people and cultures before they knew about the bible and after. Not the case. People cry about the same things for thousands of years. We know what feels good and what doesn't and it's even proven that given a choice (and living in an environment where you are provided with everything you need - shelter and food) people tend to be nice to others. The ones not will be singled out by the group and punished in one way or another.
If there would be no concept at all without the bible we would sooo many totally different behavior patterns throughout the whole world but in fact we didn't and we don't.
Yes we live in a culture defined by Judaism and Christianity (in the west) but that alone didn't lead us to peace and happiness. Not. at. all. So once again I see. Religion had it's turn for 2 to 3 thousand years already. We ended up with countless denominations and with no religion holding a clear majority so sorry. There is this argument that we don’t even know what we are talking about because everything is based on that culture now but I beg to differ. Telling people what to do by telling them about heaven as reward or hell if they don’t obey clearly isn’t working any better than the death penalty in the US and throughout history. Following doctrine without understanding is really not worth anything. The moral concept of the Abrahamic religion isn’t new.
Treat others as you would like others to treat you is basically all we need and it was already there in the Code of Hammurabi 300 years before the old testament.
It’s time for education and rationality now. Combine that with a healthy dose of awareness and compassion and let’s see what happens. We watched religion for thousands of years…time to take a step forwards not backwards. Take it as a basis, sure but never again exclusively.
The world just can’t afford another period of “my religion is better than yours”. Those claims backed up by ancient books that define “truth” for all eternity paralyses society. Especially since all of those books are written in a way that we just CAN’T follow it literally because we would stone people for cursing, believing in other gods, lying with a virgin promised to another man and so on.
But ofc, you say, we can’t take that literally. Yeah and that’s the problem. If the “word of god” can’t be taken literally and it’s cherry picking and years of studying history, texts and languages and just doesn’t qualify as blueprint for our daily modern life.
You even said once to me “God didn’t want the bible to be just that”…meaning otherwise it would be way more of a manual and precise asf. But it isn’t. Which, following this logic tells us it’s meant to be something else and it was never intended to guide is 2000 years later.
So how about modern methods?
How about asking all people of the world what they wish for life and how to be treated then taking the cross sum of that and make it the law? How can be following an ancient text be more right then actually following the combined wishes of all mankind? One is claiming to hold the truth the other is actually a mirror of reality. Possible through technology and being now connected with the whole world. How about put more faith on connecting and accepting that doctrines like “I have the truth and the way to the truth only runs through Jesus Christ” isn’t connecting people but separating.
The world has had enough of absolute statements. I’m just not willing to bet on Christianity, Islam, Judaism or even Hinduism anymore. Let’s keep religion out of it and put our faith in humanism instead. Seems to be way more efficient and productive to just talk about behavior directly and to the point without having to get your personal God and what that means out of the way first.
Damn. Always when Vin just pins my comment but doesn't say a single word I feel like he just threw me to the wolfs. Like "yeah boy they will take care of you without me having to move a muscle". Pffff, passive aggressive Christians man! ;) The worst! lol
@@sarakaster And I would also add, if you are an atheist and of the beleif that religion is simply as a blanket statement 'bad' then the logical conclusion is religion is completely man made, so by this statement it would also encompass that religion is a reflection of humanity and by itself then a natural inevitable expression of human nature.
@@PHTV11 If religion is man made it is a reflection of humantiy and therefore not bad. It, as you said encompasses everything of the culture of that certain time with some extra wisdom. There is a lot in there everyone can benefit from and a lot of redundant outdated stuff. I respect the bible if you will but I don't condone the notion that it is the single source of moral in this world.
Notice how Vin frequently refers to the wars of the last century to make his point. It's convenient because with modernity comes less religious and religious fundamentalism so naturally there are less religious wars. Even in WW2, though, religion played an integral part; Nazi Germany was one of the most religious states on the planet if not all of history. Religion and theology was pushed much harder in Nazi Germany than in any other state I've ever known. We also have to remember that the largest wars are often sorted by number of deaths and when religions were ubiquitous, population was far lower. The Thirty Years War, for example, was an extremely brutal religious war in the 1600s that took the lives of 8 million people (~12% of Europe's entire population) in just one region but we never hear about those. When there is war, religion is usually involved either explicitly or implicitly.
The "Judeo-Christian foundation" narrative that Christians often push is very exaggerated. The only reason why they weren't/aren't stoning kids to death and the like is because they applied a bit of reason to their interpretation. They could have used any old "scripture" and we would have a similar history. Everyone grew up reading the same book and applied their own rationality by denoting the obviously heinous portions as mysterious metaphors and ignoring it, every theist applies similar interpretation techniques except for terrorists are the like. It is probably more accurate to cite Greco-Roman roots as this is more encompassing and not just limited to what many people happened to be told by priests. Many of the most important aspects of the West - language, politics, philosophy, economics, etc - have largely secular roots; we cannot ignore the Hellenistic and Neoplatonism periods (amongst others) which had a major influence on the West and even Christianity. There was nothing original about Christianity -- it just stole secular and religious values and philosophies from people and called it it's own, as they did with material wealth as well.
Sarkast, war is about 1 thing and only 1 thing, Power. The instigator of war is the evil one. Where the countenance in defence is backed by God. Because in defence, there is righteousness, in dominion there is not. Satan uses men against each other to control this realm.
Rest In Peace LG Petrov. Voice of a generation, and a bloody lovely guy, who never gave up.
Yes
What needs to be realised is that these guys were about 17/18 years old when they put out this album, and for that reason alone this album is amazing
Listen to Mörk Gryning, they made their first album when they where 15 and 17, though they are Black metal and Entombed is detah, but both are Swedish and it most certainly has that great Swedish metal DNA......
And at that time, early 90, it was easy to shock just mentioning the devil and the evil men do.
These guys were pioneers in so many ways.
@@apathtrampledbydeer8446 Yeah Sweden rule!
@@mikaelahlin4612 When it comes to music, most definately. Most of the bands I listen to are Swedish.
a pure passion project.
The whole album is gold.
Best album of Entombed ever LG PETROV was very young it was in d year 1990 or 1991👌🤘🏻...
91
@@MorbidAngel31775 90
Sorry I can’t believe I even said that.
Best pure death
The singer L.G. Petrov just passed from cancer 😔 R.I.P. - not only was he a pioneer in the Swedish Death Metal scene, but he was a trailblazer for the entire Death Metal/Metal scene in general. One of the nicest guys in all of Metal. Zero ego. He will be missed
The keyboard part in the outro is from the horror classic Phantasm. These guys were literally kids when they recorded this album it is absolutely essential listening . A true classic often imitated.
The whole outro is a cover of the Phantasm theme.
Entombed "Left Hand Path" (The Album): Masterpiece...
Possibly the greatest death metal song of all time? Such a spine chilling ambience throughout and with that brilliant, bluesy outro lead making the most perfect finale. Simply epic.
Dismember- Dreaming in Red
Or Grave - Mass Grave Mass
This
Dismember > Entombed
That one is a killer
Should do Bolt Thrower next.
Jared Young the kill chain
it's coming
Realm of chaos.
The IVth Crusade!
IV Crusade
An absolute classic, the "Hotel California" of Death Metal.
kudos to the requesters
It's good, but the best Death Metal album is From Beyond by Massacre! In my humble opinion. 🤘🏻😁
For me....this is the Nirvana of Death Metal but I always liked Soundgarden and Alice in Chains more...meaning everything else coming from Tampa ;)
@@jazzyb4656 From beyond isnt even in the same dimension as the mighty left hand path
@@derekobs9688 They are both cracking albums!🤘🏻
@@sarakaster That would insinuate that Florida death is heavier, no way, lol. Entombed is much heavier, until you reach brutal and grind.
Nicke Anderson is one of the most under-rated drummers in metal.
the artist formally known as craig lastname Went from Entombed to The Hellacopters, they suck.
@@dunndiddeli2067 never heard them. Do they really suck? What do they sound like?
@@wolfthornnholtzklau4913 Hellacopters are awesome. If you like really dirty punky rock'n'roll with tonnes of attitude (early albums, give Soulseller a spin) or really polished kickass rock'n'roll (later albums, listen to Toys and Flavours). Just don't go there expecting metal.
@@wolfthornnholtzklau4913 They certainly don't suck, but as Hanzan well said.. they play rock, not metal.
@@Morbidous I'll check it out. I listen to all kinds of good music
Man Entombed through mid 90s along with a few other Swedish and European bands saved Metal, this entire album is genuine gold
Definitive song. Definitely follow it up with Dismember - Override of the Overture, and Grave - Into the Grave for the Swedish OG Trinity.
Yup
Grave and Entombed the best🤘
Explosive Action and don't forget about Unleashed ;)
Entombed, Dismember, Grave and Unleashed my man, the Big Four of Sweedish Death Metal i guess
@@galosniper7010 I quite like Unleashed's first album, not so much after that.
Been waiting for this notification for a long time. Left hand path is probably my favorite death metal album closely tied with symbolic by death. A perfect listen all the way through.
Finally now is time the Pestilence
Pestilence -"Testimony..."
Out of the bodyyyy!!
@@sebastiankwiecien1792 Nah son, Drunen era Pestilence.
Left Hand Path is absolutely seminal death metal. Entombed's 2nd album, Clandestine, is also super influential. Their countrymen and fellows in the Swedish DM scene, Dismember, are also bearers of the torch.
I'd put this almost up there with Leprosy & Scream Bloody Gore by Death.
Two of my other favorite Death Metal bands, also from Sweden (Of Course) are Unanimated and At The Gates.
Thomas from At The Gates and Uffe from Entombed went on to put out a couple of classic albums with the Swedish Dbeat band, Disfear (another one of my very favorite bands).
dismember and clandestine soon..
Disfear is like Motörhead on steroids haha!
Hypocrisy is mine favorite band that era
@@LionMetalMusic-videochannel hypocrisy is also coming
Left Hand Path > Leprosy and it's not even close.
Clandestine is their best. My opinion.
Asphyx last one on earth
Hell yeah!!! My favorite album. Also love the underrated self titled album. Especially the opening tracks Prelude/Depths of Eternity.
@@deadliestassassin3092 also initation into the ossuary
Clandestine is superior imo, obviously it's not a fact but a matter of preference. Nice to hear Entombed anyhow 🤓
These guys are legends. One of the best. Recommend Entombed fans check out the Arizona band Gatecreeper. They are heavily inspired by Entombed's tone and style. You can also hear the Entombed sound in the band Nails.
I saw gatecreeper as a opener for powertrip and cannibal corpse a few years ago. They tore the house down and it was my first time hearing them. They're awesome.
Fleshcrawl is another band very inspired for bands of that time.
Bands I find aggressively mediocre and Gatecreeper almost form a full circle with every major release outside of their EP. I'd much rather recommend all the other early Swedeath bands
Entrails is also a great swedeath band
Gatecreeper good shit. I think they are opening for Abbath and MAYHEM soon
FINALLY!!!!! LONG DAMN OVERDUE!!!! Almost as good as Dismember "override the overture" from that era.... Stocholm Death sceen was epic and I am so happy to have been a part of it
Phantasm theme at the end
A VERY metal cover of Phantasm....minus The Tall Man and his Spheres...they were cowering in fear at the MASSIVENESS of it all.....
@@metaldad1967 lol hiding from LG
@@phillytheflyerable his roar alone could shatter dimensions...
One of the greatest classics of the genre, no matter the geographical location, they went for a more Rock & Roll orientation that is pretty good too. This particular album, Left Hand Path, is great, "Morbid Devourment" is another classic. Please give a try to bands like Carnage, Unleashed Dismember or Grave, Old School Swedish Death Meteal is amazing.
24:40 I'm sure that "I am my own god" refers to freewill in an indifferent universe, not the possessing of divine powers. The term 'god' is used metaphorically. We are obviously not masters of our destiny, but each individual owns their own destiny, no mater how their life turns out. "Be your own god" is another way of saying "You make your bed and you sleep in it." Or if you have to involve god it would be "God helps those who help themselves."
Been waiting for Entombed for ever!🤘🏻
clicked sooooooo fast! love this channel!
This is a fundamental song in understanding death metal! I'm so glad that i had the opportunity to live these times!
An absolute masterpiece! Loved it from the first second I heard it. Classic,🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Just a little note. The chord on your headphones should always be on the left. If you put it on your right you will hear what's intended for each side the opposite way it was meant to be heard.
Well, this makes sence while watching a movie. It makes some sence while listening to an orchestral piece.
It doesn't really matter when listening to a rock band.
If the album is mixed in stereo you will hear difference between left and right ear, but the point is the difference, not wich ear is wich.
People have a dominant ear, but it is different for everyone.
@@JH-lo9ut well to the engineers and musicians and dorks like me it actually does matter. Believe it or not there are actual conversations that happen in the studio about if they want the drums mixed from the drummers perspective or the audiences. Or if they're panning guitars at 10 and 2, which guitar is 10 and which is 2. Or a million other things the average person doesn't think about. I'm not saying if it's backwards it necessarily ruined the experience, but it matters to some people. Plus, they asked, so I answered.
Absolute classic. Probably one of the best outros in extreme metal. Entombed have soo many great songs and they are also known for their "death 'n' roll" sound. Hope you guys do more from them!
A real classic! Pure Swedish death metal!
CLASSIC SWEDEATH
Do some of their later stuff from Wolverine Blues for their innovation in creating Death n Roll.
Mothlord
Wolverine Blues kicks ass
The Eyemaster! Very approachable song!
Always liked Hollowman...
Rotten Soil has the coolest chorus ever.
RIP L.G. Petrov.. One of the best to ever front a band period. We met a few years back when you guys played your first show back in the States in about 10 years or so you said. Then the tour was over only one show later due to poor management. I always felt super lucky to have been there and to have gotten to meet you.
Got to see Entombed open for Morbid Angel in Philadelphia. Uffe and Nicke did vocals. Got to see them again with LG a few years later.
It’s a masterpiece Vin and Sori. Only thing is that is not so easy at first listening.
Old school death metal rocks -- do more from the other essential records like Altars of Madness, Dawn of Possession, Scream Bloody Gore, Severed Survival/Mental Funeral, Effigy of the Forgotten, Cause of Death, Consuming Impulse, Erosion of Sanity etc.
These are all hard ass albums. Love it great selection.
Do Deicide - Dead by Dawn, please
Named after Evil Dead II
Yes!!! I love this song because I have always been an Evil Dead fan and death metal.
That's so weird. I literally just pressed play on this song when I got this notification. Spooky
And I who thougt it was spoky listen to Hollowman :)
😱
Would really like to see a reaction video to one of these:
Celtic Frost - Dethroned Emperor
Obituary - Body Bag
Morbid Angel - Nothing is Not
Immolation - Here in After
That last part is a cover of the main theme from the 1979 horror movie Phantasm.
Yup. You should Acid Reign's song about Phantasm if you haven't already.
finally some good music from my country! this was my first record I got when I was 6 years old
How about Dismember- "Override the overture"
Wow! This is an obscure one... good stuff
I always LOVED how they covered the theme from Phantasm at the end of this song!
Rest in Peace Lars-Göran Petrov! 😢😢😢
Nice! Finally! Now do Dismember Override of the Overture!
One of the BEST tracks of all time. Fight me if you disgree.
One of the greatest death metal tracks (and albums) of all time. Beyond classic!
RIP LG, you will be missed!
"drowned" (the next track) is probably one of the trademark tracks of the genre... it got me into the whole thing, this track is cool and certainly has the "buzzing bee" sound guitars so endemic to this style... this song is great but Drowned is the king.. you should check out The Key by Nocturnus
'Clandestine' is and will always be my go-to Entombed album.
You guys should do more death metal reactions. Best subgenre of metal. No contest
yes!!
More straight forward dm, not tech, not melo, not prog.
old school death metal. more entombed. death. obituary.cannibal corpse. suffocation.unleashed.athiest.bolt thrower. morbid angel...way to many to name

Please!
Don't know how I never came across this before. I love this song, it is my favorite song of all time. Entombed is my favorite band. You guys are wonderful and amazing. A true Godsend. This album is the best "Death Metal album ever. Bar none." That was the review by Kerrang at the time, and being part Swedish, I wholeheartedly agree. Thank you for the examination of the song and it's lyrics. You need to listen to the entire album and some of their other gems. It's funny you mentioned a 16 YO kid in your review. I was 16 when this album came out. I was ready to kill myself because I was so empty and alone, but God in his mysterious ways, despite the satanic and anti-christian nature of these guys lyrics, reached into my heart and soul through this song. He used the haunting beauty and power of this song to draw me into His arms when I cried out to Him to save me and take my life as His own, if He was real. He absolutely is, and He absolutely did. Unfortunately, I have not been honoring Him with my life for most of the time since then. Hearing your reaction and in-depth examination, has brought me to a new level of appreciation and realization for what He has done for me, and how pathetically evil and horrid my response has been. I pray that He will transform all his children by the renewing of our minds, and that He will infinitely bless you 2 for what you are doing! Praise God the Father, son, and Holy Ghost and bless His Holy name! I hope 2 someday have a conversation with you 2. Until then much love in Christ, and may we find fellowship in His sufferings and the blood He shed for us on the cross. Greater is He that is in me, than he who is in the world.
Always loved the sound of Swedish death metal bands, from straight up death metal to prog to melodeath. Entrombed were a great one for sure.
I hope you get to listen to Edge of Sanity someday, one of my personal favourites, Dan Swano is a genius. Or Dark Tranquillity, who got me started into "real metal", even if I don't listen to much melodeath anymore. Heck, you haven't even listened to the "good" In Flames yet.
So many great metal bands in Scandinavia.
Swedes were to death metal as Greeks were to Black Metal. Both created the best sound in their respective genre, imo.
It doesn't get any better than this!
You guys are finally picking some good ones. There are some good guitar work in this. Do the Hudson falcons
I would love to see you guys react to another Meshuggah song, it was a long time ago you did one last. The lyrics are often very well written and alot can be interpreted from them. A few suggestions would be:
Demiurge (short lyrics though)
Dancers to a Discordant System
Clockworks
Do Not Look Down
Lethargica
I am Colossus
Swarm
Closed Eye Visuals
9:40 this was inspiring.
So whendo we get adeath metal album from you two????
You got enough kids to form a band! ;)
Take care and be well!
Everytime I hear how chaotic the guitars are on this song I just imagine the mosh at the concert.
Left hand path is my most fav death metal album. It is perfect through and through. Its raw, aggressive and everytime you find smth new. If it is just a symbal hit or smth in the voice. Its so great
Hung with them in Cape Town. The most chill guys ever. I got into them from Wolverine Blues but recently started gettig into Clandestine. My sweet Lord what have I been missing out on!
i still gave a like on the video though because i love you both vin & sori...bless you hearts
I agree with you, even though I don't follow any religion. I'm a history buff, including religions. I live by a code of honor following the basic philosophy common in all religions. I believe in God, but I just refuse to follow any group of people. I'm kind and polite until I'm dishonored, but my voice is my weapon of choice. Anyway, my favorite Entombed album is Wolverine Blues. I love Death N Roll.
Damn lovwe this band! a true classic!
Sadus stronger than life
Just long a time ago and watching this! After seeing his other band: Firespawn and the track "The Emperor".
L-G Petrov was impressive and R.I.P to this man, and of course to Entombed. Gave so much to the swedish metal community and all over, but so heartbreaking to see his last video on the hospital bed and he cried almost at the end before he died, so hard to watch, damn i cried, and just his last words, would like to get his merchandise he was showing on his last days!! One of the the best in the swedish death metal scene! R.I.P. A legend and he will be missed!
HOOOOOLY FUCK! I've been repeatedly recommending this song in comments since the early days of your channel and now this is a big day for me to see this. I'm glad you're kinda digging this stuff, this whole album was like a big slap to American Death Metal taking over the scene back then. After this you should INSTANTLY go for some DISMEMBER, the band from the same era with a very similar debut album. Pick Override of the Overture, Dismembered, Of Fire or Under a Bloodred Sky. All these songs are phenomenal.
"this whole album was like a big slap to American Death Metal taking over the scene back then"
Odd way to frame it. American death metal didn't really "take over" the scene, for the main reason that death metal *started* in the US and thus, most significant releases in the genre came from the US.
@@ArdensSedVirens1 Well you do have a point, I mean for taking over it should have been in someone else's hands but America is where it started in the very first place yes. So let's call it like Swedes telling "you ain't the only ones fellas" then.
@@ArdensSedVirens1 US started it but Swedish was superior.
Nice discussion
I’ve seen them live a couple of weeks ago, now called Entombed AD. They still kill!
yay, they played the whole thing. it's technically two songs, though I've always felt they were supposed to be played as one. that was fun. this was my jam back in 91 when I was 14. "what mans created man can destroy. bring the light to that day of joy!"

wanted to post it under a rammstein reaction video but wasn't sure if u would see it then, because those are a year old
the piano/keyboard Vin was wondering is a title song from horror movie called phantasm year 1979
Synth piece is from the movie 'Phantasm'. I bet somebody mentioned it earlier, but didn't see a comment on it when scrolling down on comments loads. Stay safe!
That "keyboard" is the Phantasm theme song, the guys was very into the classic horror movies so you can find samples from phantasm and Hellraiser in Entombed songs.
Moonspell - Night Eternal
Moonspell - Full Moon Madness
Please!
This album is from great death metal 'era'. Nocturnus - The Key/ Carcass - Symphonies of Sickness /Dismember - Like an Everflowing Stream / Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness / these are e few golden albums worth checkin' out!
"Left Hand Path" and "Clandestine" (their first couple releases) are not only Swedish Death Metal classics, but Death Metal classics overall. Instant go-to if you need to release a little aggression. After that they started going downhill in my opinion. Lyrically, you may be interested in "Sinners Bleed" off "Clandestine", which could almost be a Christian song. It's about the horrors of a guy descending into Hell.
entombed - contempt
Finally Entombed!!! Took forever!!!!
you should really really check out dismember - override of the overture
i love this album
One of the most influential songs and albums I ever heard.
When this came out I saw Entombed at a few gigs and it was so clear that what fans was drawn to and had in common, apart from metal, was a very deep and strong hate of christianity.
Music is fortunately open to interpretation, but you with your background etc will probably never fathom how strong that hate is.
"If there is no god there is no way to say what's good or evil", that's the typical Christian way to try to set the rules and part of what's so rotten in religion.
Atheists have no problem what so ever to know the difference.
One of my favorites
one of the most influential death metal albums ever, and one of my favorites. this album cover, especially, is very beautiful, imo. the "lLeft Hand Path" is less "Satanism" than just "otherism", where you're different than the normal shit, which is like Christianity, especially in the US. it's about something DIFFERENT, not especially something OPPOSITE. And, even symbolism aside, the imagery and the description is just so perfect.
The Whole Left Hand Path thing is more an ideological approach to religion/spirituality/philosophy.
For example, a practitioner of Tantra could take the right hand or lefthand path in doing so (or forge a middle path as their nature dictates).
The right hand is a quieter, slower, calmer and all round less hazardous path to take.
The lefthand teaches all the same stuff, in a amped up, more severe kinda way.
Fast or slow.
Walk or run.
Perhaps a slow jog. 😆
A similar analog could be construed from Kabbalah.
The Tree of Life is broken into 3 pillars: Mercy, Middle, Severity. They are all options for a "return" to the godhead.
The Magicians path is through 10 sephiroth. Returning to the east, we could see the LH tantrics like Aghoris or more severe aescetics of any persuasion, following the Path of Severity which whilst being on the right side of the tree is analagous to the LHP, as much because the foundation of feminine energies is found in Binah on the P.O.S. and in vedic/tantric thinking the active energy of the godhead is on the Left Hand Side. Shakti is the Lefthand of God so to speak.
Just some food for thought.
Dismember had a HUGE part to do with Entombed and the Swedish Death Metal scene.
I encourage you to check out Dismember,. They took over when Entombed fell.
Besides that, you don't get a much better Death Metal band name than Dismember!
Agreed 100%

Glad you listened without interruption. 1. Death metal bands use the religion to emphasise what guitar music can do. 2. It is all about anti authority... All the best. Post script... Bought this when I was 20... 50 now and still love it. Peace... X
