THE 2008 STUDIO OPUS OF CELEBRATED SWEDISH DEATH METAL FROM KATATONIA / OPETH MEMBERS.

Bloodbath is a titan of death metal from Stockholm, Sweden, notable for the inclusion of Katatonia & Opeth members & in their recent era, welcoming Nick Holmes of UK doom legends Paradise Lost to join in with the brutality. Formed in 1998 with a mutual fascination for horror & the glory days of death metal from classic bands such as Entombed, Morbid Angel, Cancer & Autopsy, Bloodbath has remained a leading light of extreme metal since their 'Breeding Death' EP was unleashed back in 2000 & a formidable force for over 25 years.

'The Fathomless Mastery' was released in 2008, featuring the line-up of Opeth's Mikael Akerfeldt & former drummer Martin 'Axe' Axenrot, as well as Katatonia's Anders Nystrom & Jonas Renkse, plus Per 'Sodomizer' Eriksson on guitar. Featuring some of Bloodbath's most accomplished work to date, upon release, the opus was hailed as another masterpiece of brutal, blasphemous Metal, with a definite nod to the masters of the scene, such as Morbid Angel & Entombed flowing throughout the tracks, whilst subsequently featuring prominently on end of year magazine polls for best album.

'The Fathomless Mastery' was recorded & mixed at Ghost Ward Studio, with engineering & mixing duties carried out by David Castillo & the band.
