The resurgence of classic death metal over the past 15 years or so has created nostalgia for the older crowd that were there when the first wave hit, as well as broadening the horizons of younger listeners to show how powerful the classics really were (and hopefully getting them more interested in seeking it out). Of course, there are bands that play OSDM that was either a specific sub-genre of death metal or came from a specific scene in a localised region (Florida, Finland, Germany, etc.) – besides the Florida bands, most of which were supremely influential and important to the evolution of the genre, the biggest impact in the early 90’s was Swedish death metal, spearheaded by huge names such as Entombed, Carnage, Grave, Unleashed, and the ever-wonderful Dismember. Of the newer bands looking to play within those boundaries, we have seen some amazing work by Entrails, Black Breath, Revel In Flesh, and Demonical amongst a bevy of others that are slaves to the dank, cavernous buzz of the legends that came before , and that have put their own spin on the style.
