Quote:
Blakkheim (guitar) commented, "'Unite in Pain' is a very 'straight to the death metal bone' kinda song. A morbid cry out to the old school past when things were kept simple but effective. Take the legs of Slayer, the feet of Entombed, the arms of Bathory, the hands of Death and piece them together with the severed head of Bloodbath, shovel a HM-2 pedal down its throat and face the gore, once more!"
"The original lyrical content for 'Unite in Pain' was about the human need to wish for a peaceful death without suffering, so I tried to reverse this where only a painful end would suffice," added Nick Holmes. "The lyrics were sent to me direct from His Unholyness, and some of the words got lost in translation from ancient Latin to American English."
The band has also released the full track listing for Grand Morbid Funeral:
1. Let the Stillborn Come to Me
2. Total Death Exhumed
3. Anne
4. Church of Vastitas
5. Famine of God`s Word
6. Mental Abortion
7. Beyond Cremation
8. His Infernal Necropsy
9. Unite in Pain
10. My Torturer
11. Grand Morbid Funeral
Bloodbath is a titan of death metal from Stockholm, Sweden, notable for the inclusion of Katatonia, Opeth and now Paradise Lost members. Following the departure of Opeth's Mikael Åkerfeldt and months of speculation and rumor, Nick Holmes was announced as the new vocalist of Bloodbath earlier this month.
Recorded once again at Ghost Ward Studios and the City of Glass Studios in Stockholm, and mixed by David Castillo, Grand Morbid Funeral is undoubtedly the the band's darkest and dirtiest opus yet; an organic collection of filth-ridden tracks straight from the grave, boldly eschewing the approach of somewhat over-produced modern death metal in favor of something altogether more rotten to the bone.
With eerie, doom-like melodies mixed with raw and savage riffing, and featuring a number of guest appearances including Chris Reifert and Eric Cutler from U.S. gore-master, Autopsy, Grand Morbid Funeral is a new high-point of brutality for Bloodbath.
Formed in 1998 with a mutual fascination for horror and the glory days of death metal (especially the old Florida & Stockholm 'Sunlight' scenes), the band has remained a leading light of extreme metal since its 'Breeding Death' EP was unleashed back in 2000, and a formidable force for 15 years, further cemented by the devastating - and most successful album to date - The Fathomless Mastery in 2008.
Bloodbath is set to appear on a string of festivals throughout 2015, including Inferno festival (Norway), Neurotic Deathfest (The Netherlands) and Maryland Deathfest (U.S.) with more TBA.

Great song, nice to see Holmes adopting guttural vocals again.
|
| |
Okay song i guess. I don't dig the vocals
|
| |
vocals aren't that great but it was ok i guess... there's no power in his screams
|
| |
Certainly no Akerfeldt or Tagtgren, but there's something distinctive in Holmes' vocals that I dig. Hope he has some more vicious moments on the full album, though.
|
| |
Cool song, can't say i dig the vocals too.
|
| |
Nothing out of the ordinary. Nick's vocals suck hard.
|
| |
hahahaha those vocals, damn
|
| |
Kinda has that Tom G Warrior vibe to the vocals. It's different!
|
| |
nah they're just weak as fuck. at least Sweden is full of excellent growlers, wtf were they thinking
|
| |
They could've added some spooky aspects to the mixing to make his voice mesh with the crunchy guitar tones or something. It sorta sticks out against their professional sounding instrumentation this way. :/
|
| |
New vocalist sounds like shit compared to Michael, meh. Everything else sounds cool though.
|
| |
What's with the production?
|
| |
Should've kept Akerfeldt.
|
| |
I don't think he'd be much better at this point, why can't anyone growl anymore? :/
|
| |
vocals are hilariously bad
song is just as boring as everything else theye done
|
| |
Damn the link doesn't work for me, I'm really excited for this though
|
| |
Lol Nick Holmes? Terrible choice.

|
| |
i mean its not even death metal vocals its like hes just talking with a croaky voice
|
| |
Vocals actually stop the song from being enjoyable.
|
| |
great song.
|
| |
Tägtgren vocal performance on Nightmares Made Flesh is better than anything Mikael has ever spouted
|
| |
Lol, no.
|
| |
Wtf happened to Holmes' growls. They used to be great in the early 90s
|
| |
Dang, the song started off so awesome until those vocals kicked in..
|
| |
whoa thanks for cleaning up the article newsmodextraordinaire
|
| |
Meh lacks hard.
|
| |
"those links should work..."
The page just says "an error has occurred"
|
| |
Copy and paste them, that worked for me
|
| |
It works in IE but not chrome, weird...
But yeah vocals suck
|
| |
First Decapitated did it and now Bloodbath. What a shame. Good song though minus the vox.
|
| |
Ye, the vocals kill this.
|
| |
good vocals but I still go insane over Akerfeldts growls more.
|
| |
If Tägtgren or Akerfeldt had been the vocalist I think I'd really enjoy the song, but Holmes' vox are too restrained and understated.
|
| |
@titanslayer
idk man, those links work for me still...
