Album Description
Available in:
Like an Ever Flowing Stream is the debut album by Swedish death metal band Dismember, released in May 1991. The title may refer to the Biblical Book of Amos 5:24, "Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream" (New International Version). A music video was made for the track "Soon to Be Dead". Since Karmageddon Records owns the rights to the album, it wasn't re-issued as a digipack disc in 2005 like every other album (except for Where Ironcrosses Grow). Regain re-issued those digipack versions and also remastered the albums while Karmageddon released an exact copy of the 1996 issue by Nuclear Blast (except for two additional bonus tracks). Nicke Andersson, at the time the drummer in Entombed played all the lead guitars except for the guitar solo on "Override of the Overture", which is played by David Blomqvist. In 2010, the album was inducted into Decibel Magazine's Hall of Fame.
User Album Review
Dismember's debut album is one of the crucial documents of the early-'90s Swedish death metal scene. Along with Unleashed's Where No Life Dwells, Grave's Into the Grave, and Entombed's Left Hand Path, this disc established a sonic template that retro acts like Bloodbath and Death Breath, and young bands like Fatalist, are still adhering to today. The downtuned, ultra-distorted guitar and bass riffs are backed by punk-inflected drumming that owes more to Discharge than Slayer, and vocalist Matti Karki barks, gurgles, and roars like a pissed-off Rottweiler with a mouthful of fresh blood. This is the sound Dismember have continued to crank out right up to the present day, and it was all present virtually from their first demo. They keep things brutally efficient, too; while the band's semi-theme song "Dismembered" nudges the six-minute mark, "Soon to be Dead" rips past at a mere 1:55, and "Skin Her Alive," which caused the band some trouble with censors, requires only 2:15 to make its rather unsubtle point. Every song on this classic album is a killer, and all make the case for the Swedish variety of death metal -- grinding, less fixated on technical achievement than in getting heads banging and mosh pits exploding -- being superior to the Floridian scene with which it coexisted.
