Desultory - Bitterness is the critically acclaimed second studio album by the Swedish death metal band Desultory. Released on June 21, 1994, through Metal Blade Records, the 9-track, 39-minute album was recorded at the legendary Sunlight Studios with producer Tomas Skogsberg. The album is highly regarded for its unique blend of raw, old-school Swedish death metal with deeply melancholic, lamenting melodies. Instead of the traditional, fast-paced attack.
