Sweden has established itself as one of the premier breeding grounds for extreme outings within the music industry in recent decades. Offering a sonic blend of the Swedish and Floridian death metal soundscapes, while augmenting it with melodic excursions not too far off from 80s metal giants, Gothenburg’s Imperishable emerge with a masterclass of uncompromising death metal quality. ”Come, Sweet Death”, the debut full length release from these Swedes, was unleashed 2023 into the band’s existence. Now, not two years after their debut, it’s time for the sophomore album ”Swallowing the World” in 2025 (produced by Andy LaRocque, released by Hammerheart Records).
While their musical output oftentimes remains firmly within the framework set by their predecessors, Imperishable takes a quite different turn lyrically, as they diverge from the subject matters frequently utilized in this genre. Says the band: ”Religious topics, gore or occult mumbo jumbo never appealed to us. There are a few bands that execute those themes in a respectable fashion, but personally we prefer to write about something that isn’t made up. Addiction and death is real, and something the vast majority of listeners will relate to.”
