Like an Ever Flowing Stream

Like an Ever Flowing Stream is the debut album by Swedish death metal band Dismember, released on 28 May 1991 through Nuclear Blast.

Nicke Andersson, at the time the drummer in Entombed played all the lead guitars except for the guitar solo on "Override of the Overture", which is played by David Blomqvist.

The title may refer to the Biblical Book of Amos 5:24, "Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream" (New International Version).[citation needed]

A music video was made for the track "Soon to Be Dead". Since Karmageddon Records owns the rights to the album, it was not re-issued as a digipack disc in 2005 like every other album (except for Where Ironcrosses Grow). Regain re-issued those digipack versions and also remastered the albums while Karmageddon released an exact copy of the 1996 issue by Nuclear Blast (except for two additional bonus tracks).[citation needed]

The album makes use of heavily distorted and downtuned guitar and bass riffing. The drumming is influenced by punk rock, and has been said to "[owe] more to Discharge than Slayer." The album's vocals have been described as "barks, gurgles, and roars," and have been said to sound like a "pissed-off Rottweiler with a mouthful of fresh blood." The album's production has been described as sounding "as if it's going to fall apart."

The album's artwork was created by Dan Seagrave. He recounted the creation process: "I made some simple rough sketches, and had two weeks to make the final. The hidden subterranean scene evokes my interest in the aesthetics of old adventure fantasy type films, as well as the idea of ancient lost civilizations."

The album is considered to be a classic in the death metal genre.

The album's influence has been observed in the work of Bloodbath and Death Breath.
