Entrails is a Swedish death metal band, formed in 1990. The band was disbanded in 1994, unsatisfied with its material, and was reformed in 2008 by guitarist, Jimmy Lundqvist.[1] They are based in Linneryd, Kronoberg.[2]

History

Entrails was created by Jimmy Lundqvist, Mathias "Matte" Nilsson and other Swedish musicians in late 1990.[3] They were inspired by other Swedish bands, such as Entombed, Dismember and Grave.[1] Half of the band left in 1994 when it was disbanded, though Lundqvist continued to write songs until 1998.[1]

In 2008, Lundqvist reformed the band.[1] The band released their first demos, Reborn and Human Decay, the following year in 2009, with Lundqvist on guitar, bass and drum programming and Joakim "Jocke" Svensson on vocals.[4][5]

In 2010, the band released their first full length album, Tales from the Morgue.[6] This line-up featured Lunqvist on guitar and Svensson on bass and vocals, as well as Nilsson on guitar and Fredrik Widigs on drums.[6]

In 2011, the band released their second album, The Tomb Awaits, featuring the same line-up, but with Adde Mitroulis on drums. Lundqvist did additional drum programming.[7]

In 2012, the band signed to Metal Blade Records.[1] They released a split with Ominous Crucifix.[8]

In 2013, the band released their third album, Raging Death, featuring the same line-up as before, with several guest vocalists.[9]

In 2014, the band released the Resurrected from the Grave demo collection.[10] They released a split with Graveyard that same year.[11]

In 2015, Lundqvist worked on his "Bloodshed Studio", adding more space for drums.[1] The same year, the band released their forth album, Obliteration, featuring Pontus "Penki" Samuelsson on guitar rather than Nilsson.[12]

In 2017, the band released their fifth album, World Inferno.[13] The line-up featured Lundqvist and Samuelsson on guitars, Tommy Carlsson on bass and vocals and Martin "Fjalar" Mikaelsson on drums.[13]

In 2019, Entrails released their sixth album, Rise of the Reaper.[14] This line-up featured Lundqvist and Markus Sevensson on guitars, with Samuelsson on vocals and bass and Arvid Borg on drums.[15]

In 2021, Hammerheart Records announced that they were signing Entrails for their next album.[16] The following year, in 2022, Entrails released their seventh album, An Eternal Time of Decay, featuring the same line-up as before.[17] In 2022, they also changed their line-up so that Daniel Klinteberg was on vocals and Benjamin Hjort Andersson was on bass.[3]
