Bloodbath are an extreme metal supergroup from Stockholm, Sweden. Formed in 2000, with a mutual fascination for the glory days of death metal, the band's line up boasts an all-star cast. Anders Nyström and Jonas Renkse (Katatonia), Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth) and musician and producer extraordinaire Dan Swanö are joined by Martin "Axe" Axenrot, also from Opeth, for 'The Wacken Carnage'. 'The Wacken Carnage' features Bloodbath on relentless form at a rare live appearance captured on 6th August 2005 at the infamous Wacken Festival, Germany, with the unmistakable vocal prowess of Mikael Akerfeldt backed up by a solid wall of buzzsaw death metal riffing. Bloodbath pulverise the senses (and the audience) with a stream of classics spanning their recording career to date.
With a somewhat unforeseen global event transpiring this year which resulted in touring being made all but impossible for artists internationally, Katatonia conducted a more intimate “lockdown” show which was streamed live from Studio Grondahl, Stockholm on 9th May. ‘Dead Air’ offers fans a full 88-minute set containing 20 tracks from the band’s extensive and illustrious repertoire to date, with inclusions spanning two decades of dark progressive greatness, and essentially also debuting three of the ‘City Burials’ album tracks in a live setting.
