COFFINS "Beyond the Circular Demise"




COFFINS

 “Beyond The Circular Demise”

The COFFINS have opened and the stench of death is everywhere! It’s been far too long since Japan’s heaviest have stalked the Earth and I’m starving for their brand of downtuned, primitive and super morbid mayhem. Well, the wait has been worth it, because this is the grooviest and riffiest album that these maniacs have ever released!

COFFINS is at the top of their game and they are at the same level OBITUARY and INCANTATION achieve in full flow. The sickness just flows out of this album. The massacre starts with “Terminate By Own Prophecy” and my neck muscles were wrecked about 30 seconds in. Damn, boys! This has got riffs to die for and an undeniable thrusting groove! Expect no relief for the remainder of the disc, although there are songs where COFFINS’ patented doomy death predominates, like “Forgotten Cemetery”. I tend to like the first four track better than the back end, but not by much and every cut here has got a moment of absolute trance-inducing thunder. Just when I thought last track “Gateway To Dystopia” was starting to drag, the band shifts gears and unleashes one of the best riffs on the album.

Some past COFFINS albums overdid it on prolonged feedback or sticking with a funeral pace too long, but not this time. Expect “Beyond The Circular Demise” to rank very high in the end of the year lists for 2019! A true crusher!
