Latest Staff pick

Gothenburg-style death metal
Sep 19, 2025
Tomas "Tompa" Lindberg’s passion and commitment to quality shone through in everything he did. No matter the band he was in, his voice was always the stamp: versatile, visceral, and always unmistakable – shredding through the mix like a battleaxe cleaving a warlord’s armor.

Hellfest 2008 is burned into my memory. At The Gates were pretty huge for me, and their reunion show was a major reason I made the trip. From the get-GO!, Tompa absolutely owned that stage and every heart in the crowd, mine included.

To honor him, I want to shine a light on one of his perhaps lesser-known projects: The Lurking Fear. Leaning closer to traditional Swedish death metal but still carrying that distinct Gothenburg edge, they gave us two crushing records, and now bowed out following Tompa’s passing. For me, Death, Madness, Horror, Decay feels just a touch darker and tighter than Out Of The Voiceless Grave, but both albums are undeniable bangers, and further proof of Tompa’s ability to carve his mark deep.

RIP Tompa.
