Swedish death metal is a death metal music scene developed in Sweden. Many Swedish death metal bands are associated with the melodic death metal movement, thus giving Swedish death metal a different sound from other variations of death metal. Unlike American death metal groups, the first Swedish bands were rooted in hardcore punk. Gothenburg has a large melodic death metal scene while Stockholm is known for its more raw death metal scene.
Phil Freeman of AllMusic described Swedish death metal as "grinding," and as more focused on "getting heads banging and mosh pits exploding [and] less fixated on technical achievement" than the Floridan style of death metal.[1]
