DCLXVI: To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth
DCLXVI: To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth is the fourth album by Swedish band Entombed, released on 3 March 1997 through Music for Nations. The title is 666 in Roman numerals, and the cover shows a statuette of the Aztec god Mictlantecuhtli.
It follows Wolverine Blues from 1993 and carries on with that record's death 'n' roll sound. This time the band drop most of the hardcore punk and traditional death metal traces, leaning instead on stoner rock and garage rock influences. The result is looser and dirtier, and it sits comfortably between their early death metal days and the albums that came after. Metal Hammer ranked it second among the albums of 1997, a placing that says plenty about how it was received.
