Ribspreader is a Swedish death metal band.

History[]

Ribspreader was formed in January 2003 by Rogga Johansson and Andreas Karlsson, both also of Paganizer. The band's debut album featured Swedish musician and producer Dan Swanö on drums and lead guitar.

Johansson is a prolific musician within the death metal genre, and Ribspreader's 2018 album The Van Murders: Part 2 is considered by some to be one of his more versatile and melodic projects,[1] making it more accessible to listeners who are not strictly fans of the genre.[2] Critical praise for 2019's Crawl and Slither was also high, with the album leading some to claim Ribspreader as Johansson's best band.[3] Others, however, have considered Ripspreader to be nearly indistinct from his other projects,[4] even claiming that the band stands out less because of its close adherence to the norms of Swedish death metal.[5][6]
