Death in Gothenburg/ Various - Death In Gothenburg (Various Artists)

If you're into harder music you know about The Gothenburg Sound.

This compilation of thrash/death-bands from the early 90s metal scene in Gothenburg features early attempts from Dark Tranquillity and In Flames as well as soon-to-be members of bands like Hammerfall, Tiamat, Evergrey and Engel.
