For their sixth full-length studio album, Japanese psychopaths Coffins drag your sorry arse into a blender and liquefy your bones to mulch. It was on Valentine\u2019s Day when I heard the wonderful chimes of \u2018Spontaneous Rot\u2019 and I just knew that Coffins would once again obliterate all in their path.<\/p>\n

Like a hideous mix of Mortician, Autopsy and Napalm Death\u2019s track ‘Scum’, \u2018Spontaneous Rot\u2019 churns, gurgles and boils with a gory groove to die for. When the pace quickens the gallop still conjures nightmarish images of being pursued through a river of sticky, congealed blood as the drums let loose and vocals spew slurry. Meanwhile, the foul drumming on \u2018Things Infestation\u2019 sounds like someone having their skull caved in on a formation of jagged rocks before a weird solo penetrates the soupy haze of doom-cranked deathliness.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter how maniacally hyper the Japanese tribe gets, the sound is always coated in mould as riffs succumb to zombiefication, drums crust with silt, and the bass lines clog with sediment. The band is so reliable in its repulsive nature; the title track devilishly grins like some axe wielding psychopath drooling over his victims as the putrid chunks of dismal mayhem are created by the frothing riffage.<\/p>\n

Coffins even finds time for some Swedish d-beat sort of kick with \u2018Chain\u2019 before \u2018Everlasting Spiral\u2019 oozes with sporadic riffs before drums slowly nod to the syrupy fuzz. Elsewhere, \u2018Forced Disorder\u2019 picks up in punky fashion while the vocals act as swamp slop. \u2018Headless Monarch\u2019 starts as a mid-tempo heap before picking up the pace in infectious fashion, and the hissing slog of \u2018Domains Of Black Miasma\u2019 lopes to the lead of Satoshi\u2019s morbid drum patterns.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing here that escapes from the Coffins template; it\u2019s rhythmic doom-drenched death metal that the dead can lollop around to after crawling from their graves. Exactly what I expected and exactly what I needed.<\/p>\n
