Bloodbath

Bloodbath came about as a collaboration of some of Sweden's finest, a break from their day jobs to go back to basics, basics in this case being classic old-school brutal death metal. Originally the plan was simply to release the one EP (2000's Breeding Death) and be done with it, but the members decided to make the project an ongoing affair, though the lineup has shifted over time and only the Katatonia formation.
