I originally planned to release a CD with my book, but had to cancel it due to lack of time and funds. But with the help of Index Varlag, this idea is now materialized - as three CD's!
This monster will rule the stereo at parties for years to come at the Tamara Press headquarters!

INFO:
- Release date march 2nd.
- 52 tracks and a total playing time of more than 200 minutes
- 16 page booklet!
- Exclusive introductory text and liner notes to every single song by Daniel Ekeroth!
- The best and most comprehensive compilation of Swedish Death Metal ever!
On occasion of the release of the German edition of Daniel Ekeroth's groundbreaking masterpiece book "Swedish Death Metal", a homonymous 3-CD compilation will be released featuring more than 50 relevant tracks amounting to a playing time of over 200 minutes. Apart from essential classics of the genre, this audio companion will contain many rare recordings and insiders’ tips from the heyday of the Swedish Death Metal scene: CD1 starts off with the pioneers of Swedish Death Metal and documents the genesis of the entire genre. CD2 focusses on the period of the first album releases of the scene, which spread the deadly Swedish sound all over the globe. It naturally portrays the classics of the Stockholm school (Entombed, Dismember...), but also the beginnings of a more mid-tempo and atmosphere orientated variation of the original style (Tiamat, Therion…). It contains early documents of the Gothenburg sound (At The Gates, Liers In Wait) as well as the fusion of Death Metal and the emerging Black Metal (Marduk, Dissection). CD3 eventually overviews the variety and power of Swedish Death Metal in its golden age and draws a bow into the present with a strong newcomer act like Katalysator.
"Swedish Death Metal" will be released in a noble digibook, which additionally features an exclusive introductory text and liner notes to every song by book author Daniel Ekeroth. This is the ideal opportunity for anyone who’s interested to get a taste of this explosive style of music in all its creative diversity or who's looking for its very essence pooled on one compilation.
