After Crawl , Stranger Aeons and Hollowman, Wreckage is the fourth EP by the Swedish death metal band Entombed . It was released in 1997, the same year as the fourth studio album To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth, and is one of the first releases on which Jörgen Sandström can be heard as bassist.
background
After the decision to leave the Earache Records label and sign with Eastwest , Entombed was in the air because the A&R employee who looked after them suddenly no longer belonged to the company. Only when the rights to the new songs had been bought back, the band's own label Threeman Recordings was founded, which made the following releases. It was later licensed by Music for Nations . In 1997, after a four-year wait, Entombed released their new album To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth . For this the band had not only recorded 14 new tracks, but also eight cover songs by MC 5 , King Crimson , Venom , Black Sabbath , Twisted Sister , Jerry's Kids , Bob Dylan and The Dwarves . The first four bands named Kick out the Jams , 21st Century Schizoid Man , Bursting Out and Under the Sun were covered and in Europe on the digipak version of To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth on a bonus CD called Family Favorites published. The vinyl version of the album also contains this EP and besides these four songs also includes Tear it Loose (Twisted Sister) and Satan (The Dwarves). On the Japanese version of the album, only the songs Lost (Jerry's Kids) and The Ballad of Hollis Brown (Bob Dylan) were released. So that the last four tracks from the vinyl edition and the Japanese version were also available on CD for European fans, the EP Wreckage was put together, which contains the four remaining cover songs in addition to the song of the same name from the fourth album and a remix the EP was released in Japan six months later with five of the six songs that were not yet available there (i.e. all four songs of the EP Family Favorites , as well as Tear it Loose ) together with three exclusive live recordings. This album was not released in North America, but the local version of the following record, Same Difference , contained the same five cover songs as the Japanese version of Wreckage .
Music genre
The band plays a rough mix of death metal and rock'n'roll elements on this mini-album. Only the song Wreckage (Indy Cart) can be assigned to the field of electronic music , as it is a Larceny remix of the title song. Otherwise, the influences of the covered bands shimmer through, ranging from Thrash Metal (Venom) to Progressive Metal (King Crimson) and Doom Metal (Black Sabbath).
