Nola 504 and More: Swedish death metal

Moondark- The Shadowpath

Genre- Death Metal
Origin- Sweden
Formed- 2003
Release date- 1993/2007

What we have here is another quality buzzsaw-sounding Swedish old-school death metal act. This isn't really a new release (MA lists it as a 2007 release), but it's a rerelease of their demo from '93. The thing that stands out most here is the guitar tone, and evil just drips from it. This is pretty inaccessible, and there are almost no melodies to be found here. This is pure, unadulterated death metal from back in the day of the buzzsaw.

A message from swampchode:

I originally started this blog with the intent to create an archive of New Orleans/Louisiana based bands demo's, EP's, full lengths and live recordings. My primary focus was to feature a little bit of everything going on in this great city. There are many bands past and present that have never gotten the recognition that they (in my opinion) truly deserved.

So I figured why not start converting all these demo tapes and etc. and share them with the world? But as I kicked the idea around on a few message boards and with friends, I decided to not just limit the page to Louisiana.

So here you will find artists from all across the globe, some may be well known, others may not. Here at Nola 504 and More, the Krewe and myself all have very unique musical tastes, which I think helps our page really stand out.

Yes, we may feature a lot of metal, but we also have punk, country, jazz, rockabilly, etc. Musical "gumbo" so to speak; meaning a little bit of everything. So, if you are/were in a band from Louisiana, or anywhere else in the world, and care to share it with the rest of the world, drop one of us an email. We'd love to check it out!
