In the early 90s, most Swedish death - metal bands were yet to make a big splash. Entombed and a few others like Grave, Dismember, and Unleashed were among the exceptions, getting decent record deals. While we might not have labeled 'Liers in Wait' a super - group at the time, considering its members' bands weren't huge then, looking back, the sheer talent in this single EP recording definitely earns it that status. This EP draws heavy inspiration from fast USDM bands such as Morbid Angel, Deicide, and Malevolent Creation. It adds a dash of frenetic, cosmic, and philosophical vibes, with lyrics deeply rooted in H.P. Lovecraft's Mythos. 'Spiritually Controlled Art' is just 17 minutes long, but it's a prime example of how bands combined pure death - metal elements from both sides of the Atlantic and crafted new formulas. The blend of cosmic, intellectual horror and violent, skillful death metal may not seem so groundbreaking now, but 'Liers in Wait' were pioneers in making it work, even if only briefly. This effort is close to being legendary and is a must - listen for anyone on the hunt for those hidden 90s gems.
