Harrowed are a maggot-ridden death metal band from the Stockholm sewers. Rising from the hallowed ashes of Swedish death metal outliers Morbus Chron, the band comes as the creation of vocalist / drummer Adam Lindmark, who has teamed up with guitarist Tobias Alpadie (VAK, ghost department of Tribulation). A demo and subsequent split arrived in 2021 and ’22, respectively, setting forth Harrowed’s harrowing foundation: classic Autopsy, Entombed, Obituary, and Death Strike “funneled through a garbage disposal,” accurately stated Adolf Vondkra of Tones of Decay festival.
The time has now come for Harrowed to make their full-length debut with The Eternal Hunger. Sharper but not without their signature stench, The Eternal Hunger sees the duo offering a more nuanced listening experience – but don’t think for a second they’ve gone soft! Surely, Harrowed have gestated into a twisted mass of putrid filth, incorporating elements of old-school American and Scandinavian death metal, a lethal dose of punk riffage, and mind-bending weirdness (and even some shattered shards of skewed melody, if we’re counting). The songwriting on The Eternal Hunger thusly exhibits more variety both in the micro and macro, with each of these eight tracks possessing the potential to rupture ear drums, crack skulls, and have you plunge head-first while maniacally screaming into the darkened abyss of crushing riffs, doomsday drumming, and nightmarish horrors.... The production on the album is stellar, as Harrowed teamed up with Robert Pehrsson (Death Breath, ex-Runemagick) in his Studio Humbucker during the summer of 2025 and created an authentically physical sound that’s clear and concise whilst keeping a vintage raw edge. As such, The Eternal Hunger stays true to the original spirit of death metal without being yet another washed-out-copy of the HM2-sound. The album also features musical guest appearances from Nicke Andersson (Entombed, Death Breath) and Scott Carlson (Repulsion, Death Breath), among others, so you can bet this stuff is the real deal.
With the addition of a live lineup consisting of fellow creeps Dag Landin (ex-Morbus Chron, Tøronto) on bass and Estefan Carrillo (Hazemaze, Morbid Breath) on guitar, the Harrowed lineup is fully armed and diseased — ready to drag their decomposing death metal across stages and into your nightmares. Are you ready to submit to The Eternal Hunger?
