Bloodbath – The Arrow of Satan Is Drawn

Pretty much everything about this album is well done. The production is clean which actually emphasizes the grittiness of the distortion-saturated guitar tone. The riffs are good for the most part, and the songwriting is some of the best songwriting I've heard from a Swedish death metal outlet. Of course, this is not up to par with "Indecent and Obscene" or "Left Hand Path", but it is definitely above most other modern bands trying to replicate the classic Swedish sound.
