Nihilist was a death metal group originating from Sweden, created in 1987 by Alex Hellid and Nicke Andersson. The band ceased operations in 1989 after Johnny Hedlund departed to initiate Unleashed. The remaining musicians continued under the new name Entombed. Although Nihilist did not produce a full studio album, a collection of their demo recordings was released in 2005. Guitarist Leif "Leffe" Cuzner died in June 2006.
In the book Choosing Death, Nicke Andersson disclosed that rising conflicts with Johnny Hedlund led him to intentionally end Nihilist. After the breakup, the final lineup without Hedlund formed Entombed, while Hedlund went on to create Unleashed.
