Krönikor: LG Petrov var den lustfyllda rockstjärnan

Lars-Göran Petrov, känd som sångare i Entombed, var en en internationell förgrundsfigur inom death metal. Det skriver Bella Stenberg i Borås Tidning med anledning av att sångaren dött i sviterna av cancer, 49 år gammal.

”Han blir ihågkommen inte bara för sin delaktighet i att mejsla fram death metalgenren, utan för sin chosefrihet och entusiasm”, skriver hon.

DN:s Noa Söderberg minns LG Petrov, som han oftast kallades, som ”den lustfyllda rockstjärnan”.

”Han var frontmannen som framför allt lockades av glädjen i att spela musik och ville förmedla samma glädje till alla som såg på”, skriver han.

Söderberg konstaterar att 90-tals skivorna ”Left hand path” och ”Wolverine blues” är några av det ”svenska hårdrocksundrets största hittar”.

Entombed (band)
Wikipedia (en)
Entombed is a Swedish death metal band formed in 1987 under the name of Nihilist. Entombed began their career as an early pioneer of Scandinavian death metal which initially differed from its American counterpart by its distinct "buzzsaw" guitar tone. However, by the early 1990s their sound had broadened to include garage rock and other influences. This new style would eventually be described as death 'n' roll. Entombed has been influenced by bands such as Slayer, Exodus, Black Sabbath, Celtic Frost, Autopsy, Repulsion, Kiss, The Misfits, Motörhead, Discharge, Death and Testament. Along with Dismember, Grave and Unleashed, Entombed has been referred to as one of the "big four" of Swedish death metal.
