How often did you rehearse? How were your rehearsals? Did you play own tunes or covers too?

- "We rehearsed couple of times a week. We were pretty serious when we rehearsed, didn’t get drunk or whatever. We never did any covers at all."

By whom were the lyrics and the music written? Who were the main song composers? What were the lyrics about?

- "Dead wrote the lyrics. I don’t really know what they were about, sorry. I guess me, John Lennart, Klacke and TG wrote the songs. Mostly the basics were written by TG." - Uffe Cederlund, interviewed for voicesfromthedarkside.de 🦇

THE SWEDISH SOUND CRUSHES FORTH IN THE EARLY '90s -- THRASH HAD MET ITS FINAL END.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on lead guitarist Ulf "Uffe" Cederlund of Swedish death metal band ENTOMBED (b. 1971), performing live in the early '90s, at an undisclosed venue, photo/ magazine coverage from the pages of "Metal Hammer Extra -- THRASH" magazine #3, c. 1991.

"L.G. went behind our backs and joined Morbid, after which Nicke started to play drums in the remains of Blasphemy.

Since L.G. was my closest friend, I hung around Morbid a lot and saw all their first gigs. The guitarists came and went in the band, and eventually it was my turn to join. Anyway, the other guys from Morbid weren't satisfied with L.G. and wanted to try out another drummer.

Dead and I brought in Nicke and rehearsed some songs. Though it sounded good, he didn't get the job. I don’t remember why.”- Uffe Cederlund ("Swedish death metal" by Daniel Ekeroth), part 2/7 🦇

Nicke Andersson, however, has a completely different recollection:

“Uffe and L.G. knew these guys, and told me they needed a drummer. So I went to their rehearsal space to give it a go. The day I went there I had put on a white Wehrmacht T-shirt, and that would proved to be a fatal decision. Obviously this was all wrong according to the image they wanted to create for themselves, so I was basically rejected even before I started to play! They wanted to be evil, and my T-shirt obviously wasn’t. At this point I was still of the opinion that the fastest band wins, and didn't fully grasp which bands were “true” or not. But once I too had buried myself deeply in the death metal underground, I myself became the most stubborn antagonist toward everything that wasn’t hard enough. Thinking back, it’s a little embarrassing, but it’s cool at the same time, because it shows dedication.” - Nicke Anderson ("Swedish death metal" by Daniel Ekeroth), part 3/7 🦇

"Though I liked it when we recorded it, I soon realized that everything sucked on this demo. Today I can’t even listen to it. After Last Supper we kind of realized that it was time to quit. At our second-to-last gig ever, only L.G. and I turned up. It was just a mess.”-Uffe Cederlund 

So Morbid’s second demo became their swan song. Without the visionary Ohlin, they couldn’t find the energy to continue. Uffe Cederlund and Lars Göran Petrov had also already started to collaborate in the group that would soon shake the death metal underground in its foundations—Nihilist." -"Swedish death metal" by Daniel Ekeroth, part 7/7 🦇
