Unleashed (SWE) – Before The Creation Of Time
Formed in 1989 after Johnny Hedlund was kicked out of NIHILIST (who split up and reformed as ENTOMBED to avoid firing him directly), UNLEASHED are credited to be one of the first death metal groups to write songs about Viking/Scandinavian history and heritage instead of the more typical subjects like death and gore. Since these times UNLEASHED can be counted as one of the leading acts of the Scandinavian death metal scene.
