Helvete (Swedish for "hell") is an album by Swedish grindcore band Nasum, released in 2003. It received universal acclaim from critics.
Mitch Harris (Napalm Death) made a live music video for the song "Scoop". Shane Embury from Napalm Death plays bass guitar on "Drop Dead" and "Whip".[ citation needed ]
Tom Morgan of Invisible Oranges described Helvete as "relentless extreme metal mayhem," and according to him, "the production is especially crisp and brittle for a grindcore album." [10]
In February 2009, Helvete was ranked number 2 in Terrorizer 's list of essential European grindcore albums, with writer Olivier 'Zoltar' Badin describing it as "confirming Nasum as the undisputed kings of the new wave of Swedish grindcore". [11] In December 2009, the magazine would name it the 47th greatest album of the 2000s. [12]
Eduardo Rivadavia of AllMusic gave the album four and a half stars out of five, saying: "Easily among the best grindcore albums of the new millennium, Helvete is an absolute winner." [13]
Tom Morgan of Invisible Oranges said the album "capture[d] the band at their most confident and well-realised," calling it "a grindcore album for the ages." [10]
