Rick Wartell from Trouble is in this band. They play grungy stoner metal with not much doom. Sounds like going to a local bar to hear a band play originals and they sound like Alice in Chains, but it's really fucking good. Not quite AIC good, but good nonetheless.

Internal Decay-A Forgotten Dream

Very obscure death metal from Sweden. The album is unique for sounding depressive and having a really good mix of melodic sections and heavier riffs.
 
^ Surprised that still hasn't been reissued.

Sad it's not very popular, but such is the case with obscure bands who only released one album. It's not enough to build a cult following off of, unless it's the type of album that blows away basically everyone who listens (see Blod-Draum, which I'm listening to next).
 
Plenty of mediocre shit with a negligible following gets reissued, especially the fetishised Swedish scene (eg Authorize and Epitaph). Probably more a rights issue, because the original label reissued it in 2016 but it's considered unofficial.
