Sentenced - North from Here

It's really hard to believe that Sentenced was once more influenced by Atheist than latter day Metallica, but all one has to do is to go back and listen to North from Here to believe me. Featuring some of the most bizarre and complicated time changes in metal since Unquestionable Presence, North from Here runs through it's playing time as a possible precursor to the whole melodic movement known as the "Gothenburg Sound". A champion album, one that I'm surprised is not mentioned in the same breath as Believer, Atheist or Cynic's great works.
