Entombed boldly ventured into new musical territory with Wolverine Blues, the band's third excellent album in a row. Wolverine Blues is such a departure from past efforts, in fact, it's debatable whether this music even qualifies as death metal, given its standard rock characteristics: comprehensible vocals, steady tempos, and verse-chorus-verse songwriting. None of these characteristics is associated with death metal, and indeed, purists might perceive Entombed's development on Wolverine Blues as an abandonment of the very principles that won the band such underground acclaim in the first place. Some purists might even go so far as to consider the album a sellout. Most reasonable listeners will likely find much to appreciate on Wolverine Blues. It's that impressive. Wolverine Blues is that rare album brutal enough for the death metal crowd yet at the same time accessible enough for the metal mainstream. Clearly, a lot can be made of Entombed's bold venture into new musical territory with Wolverine Blues, and you can bet metalheads will debate the album's stylistic merits for years to come. What's beyond argument, though, is that Wolverine Blues is the third impressive effort in a row by one of the best metal bands of the early '90s, and as impressive as the past two albums were, this one is by far the most inviting and most deserving of widespread recognition.
