Afflicted debuted when the Swedish metal scene was crawling with Entombed and Unleashed clones, all far from any originality. The Stockholm five-piece had a different approach towards death metal - they offered complex and intriguing music, reaching far beyond the typical Swedish school of metal. Their first and most acclaimed album - "Prodigal Sun" - was a groundbreaking release, unfortunately overshadowed by the flood of other death metal bands at that time. Now you have the chance to experience the genius of Afflicted, who were often compared to such icons as Pungent Stench, Atrocity, Atheist and Dismember... Preceded by a single called "Rising To The Sun", the band's debut album hit the stores on December 1st, 1992. "Prodigal Sun" contained eleven mind-blowing tracks, ranging from slow-paced death metal monsters to fast, thrash-influenced bulldozers. Produced by Tomas Skogsberg at the legendary Studio Sunlight, the LP managed to gather a handful of inspiring ideas and cloth them in the traditional death metal suit. The material was both inspiring and extremely heavy - the compositions were far from the melodic approach used by most of the Swedish death metal bands at the beginning of the 90's. New digipak edition, limited to numerated 2000 copies Digitally remastered using 24-Bit process on golden disc.
