 Bloodbath is a Swedish Death Metal band formed in 1998. A supergroup, the original lineup consisted of Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth (vocals), Dan Swano of Edge of Sanity (drums; later switched to guitar), and Anders Nystrom and Jonas Renske of Katatonia (guitar and bass, respectively). The band was formed to celebrate the members' love of old-school death metal music, and since their inception, they've remained a favorite among death metal fans and are one of the most respected artists in the genre.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The band emerged with the EP Breeding Death in 2000, then their first album Resurrection Through Carnage was released in 2002, and paid homage to classic Swedish death metal with its clunky distorted guitar tone and creepy atmosphere. It was widely praised for its familiar yet interesting sound, as well as the vocal performance of Mikael Akerfeldt. To free up more time with Opeth, Akerfeldt left in 2004 and was temporarily replaced by Peter Tagtgren of Hypocrisy. At the same time, Martin Axenrot (also of Opeth) was brought in on drums after Swano switched to guitar. These changes resulted in the band's second album Nightmares Made Flesh, which has been regarded as a death metal classic and received rave reviews all across the metal press.Swano left the band shortly after, and was replaced by Per Erikkson, and Akerfeldt returned to the band. The EP Unblessing the Purity followed in 2008, along with their third full-length The Fathomless Mastery. While the former was widely acclaimed, the latter was considered solid but received lukewarm reception. Shortly after, the band took a long break, and it was announced that Akerfeldt had left the band for good.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Taking a long time to find a new vocalist, the band finally announced their return in 2012, and while they had a new vocalist set, they did not reveal his identity right away. Giving clues over the course of 2013, everybody was debating who it was, and finally in 2014, they revealed their new singer to be Nick Holmes of Paradise Lost. Their first album with Holmes, Grand Morbid Funeral, was releaesd on November 17, 2014. The band's fifth album, The Arrow of Satan is Drawn, was released on October 26, 2018, and their sixth record Survival of the Sickest will be released in September 2022.EPs:
