Rising from the maggot-ridden sewers of Stockholm, Harrowed is the new vessel for vocalist and drummer Adam Lindmark, formerly of the Swedish death metal outliers Morbus Chron. He joined forces with guitarist Tobias Alpadie to create this heap of filth. They dropped a demo in 2021 and a split the following year to test the waters. Their sound takes the bones of classic acts like Autopsy, Entombed, and Death Strike and grinds them through a garbage disposal. Now, they are finally unleashing their debut full-length, "The Eternal Hunger", via Dying Victims Productions.

"The Eternal Hunger" kicks in with a sound that is totally crusty and aggressive. The band mixes standard Swedish death metal sounds with a serious dose of punk rock energy. It is not just about playing fast as they throw in these weird, skewed melodies that make the whole thing sound demented. The riffs are thick and grimey. You can hear the Autopsy influence heavily when things slow down and get sludgy. This album has a crazy energy that just wants to break things. The songwriting keeps you banging your head because they switch up the tempos often enough to keep it interesting without getting too fancy.

Production-wise, Robert Pehrsson nailed it at Studio Humbucker. He gave the band a sound that is physical and raw. You can hear the grime on the strings and the impact of the drums. It avoids that fake, plastic sound so many modern bands have. It sounds like a band sweating in a room. They even got legends like Nicke Andersson and Scott Carlson to guest on the album, which adds some serious cool points. The mix allows the dirty bass and the distinct vocals to sit right on top of the chaos.

With a full lineup now including Dag Landin and Estefan Carrillo, Harrowed is ready to bring this noise to the stage. "The Eternal Hunger" is a stonewall of death metal that rips through. It provides a good thirty-six minutes of headbanging fun. If you like your death metal with a bit of punk attitude and a lot of grime, this record belongs in your collection. It is a strong start for the band.

Score: 7.5
