Description:
A cornerstone of Swedish death metal, Dismember’s Like an Ever Flowing Stream stands as one of the most influential and ferocious albums in the genre’s history. Recorded at the legendary Sunlight Studio under the brutal guidance of Tomas Skogsberg, this debut unleashed a new sonic plague — the buzzsaw guitar tone that would define an era.
From the opening blast of “Override of the Overture” to the blood-soaked closer “In Death’s Sleep,” every track flows with raw aggression, cold precision, and an unmistakable sense of decay. Beneath the carnage lies melody — grim, haunting, and distinctly Scandinavian — giving the album its timeless balance between brutality and soul.
For fans of Entombed, Grave, and Unleashed, this is not just a record — it’s a relic of death metal’s golden age. Like an Ever Flowing Stream remains as vital and savage today as it was in 1991 — the eternal river of death that never stops roaring.
