COFFINS The other side of blasphemy Review


COFFINS (Jap) – The other side of blasphemy
CD 2006 – Imperium Productions
7 tracks – 41’35
Rated: 6,5/10

COFFINS doesn’t care of any speed contest or if blast beat is essential to death metal. COFFINS is into the slowest and heaviest form of blasphemous and putrid death metal. The Japanese trio uses no artifice to provide us with a doomish low tuned death metal with minimalist depressive melodies. They managed to take some distance with AUTOPSY being slower with their fat sound and heaviness that reminds me bands like ROTTREVORE, SLUGATHOR or FUNEBRARUM.
Fortunately COFFINS offers many welcomed accelerations that prevent you from falling asleep, which is often a characteristic of the doom/death style.
On the other hand, some riffs are a bit too common sometimes or some tracks are a bit too similar. Despite of this “The other side…” is a quite enjoyable release a bit above the level of their previous ones but keeping their monolithic funeral trademark.
The trouble with this kind of style is that it lets very little space for surprise except for radical change but I guess it won’t happen to COFFINS who is attached to their death metal.
