Founded in 1987 under the name Treblinka, Tiamat played a pioneering role in shaping the Swedish death metal sound. Their debut album, 'Sumerian Cry,' holds historical significance as it was the first full-length album recorded at Sunlight Studios. Significantly, it was released only three days after Entombed's 'Left Hand Path,' but recorded two months prior. The album, originally released on June 7th, 1990, features the iconic logo and cover artwork by the legendary Kristian 'Necrolord' Wahlin.
