Your weekly metal history lesson launches its new ongoing Metal Creator series today, with a look at two crucial groundbreaking metal acts. First, mid-1980s Pacific Northwest splatter punks The Accüsed go under the scalpel, with ripping early intense hardcore thrash by the band and covers by Cannibal Corpse and Lamb of God. Next we travel to Gothenburg, Sweden, in the early 1990s, and follow the evolution of At the Gates from Satanic atmospheric acolytes into tightly-wound melodic death metal masters. Know your metal creators—know your Roots!

Read a lot more about Grotesque, Liers in Wait, and At the Gates in SWEDISH DEATH METAL. The book is always better than the movie.
