Bloodbath grand morbid funeral
Background
Grand Morbid Funeral was recorded in 2014 at Ghost Ward and City of Glass in Stockholm, Sweden and self-produced by the band. It was released on 17 November 2014 by Peaceville Records. This is the first Bloodbath album to feature vocalist Nick Holmes from UK metal band Paradise Lost after Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth left, having lost interest in performing death metal. Anders ‘Blakkheim’ Nystrom of the band states that the album is “destructive, raw, heavy, organic and sludgy death metal.”
The album features guest appearances from Chris Reifert and Eric Cutler from death metal band Autopsy.
Critical reception
Blabbermouth describe the "unapologetic fury" of Grand Morbid Funeral and state that the album "brings the same old-school, brutalized death metal Bloodbath has been hailed for". MetalSucks comment that new singer "Holmes’ voice is just the worm-gut-strewn axe-to-the-skull this music needs" and state that "if you’ve spent most of 2014 waiting around to get leveled by a death metal record with a little legacy heft, you might want to get out there and snatch up the new Bloodbath". The review in Exclaim! state that "Bloodbath have upped the brutality ante with Grand Morbid Funeral" and claim that Holmes has "surpassed expectations with powerful and sinister throat-gurgling delivery".
