COFFINWORM – When All Become None CD
Profound Lore Records
There are alot of newer bands these days who sound like they found a few Amphetamine Reptile label band records at the used vinyl store and ran them through the black and death metal strainer. The remains are collected and placed onto CDs for the adventurous among us to consume like free acid at a party. Trance Syndicate/Trance Records was another label doing the post punk thing back in the nineties. I wonder if those old bands hear what’s going on now in extreme music and pull out those boxes of unsold LPs for future sale on Ebay. One of the problems I had with alot of those bands back in the day was that they would start off with some steady headbanging riffage but then by the halfway mark crawl their way out of every song. A year or two later the metal version was coined Sludge and the metal world was dragging more tail then an alligator. Don’t get me wrong I like my Sludge Metal just fine as long as I’m in a venue with a fully stocked bottom shelf liquor selection.
COFFINWORM hail from Indianapolis, Indiana, which surprisingly enough is a mecca for extreme metal or so I’ve heard from the people who live one town over who complain about the fuckin noise. To make matters worse all their milk cows have dried up and their utters have turned into sharp spikes. Well be that as it may this is the band’s debut full length and after a few listens I believe there won’t be a follow up because this band wants you all to die, preferably horribly. There’s nothing like a nihilist to liven up a party. Profound Lore really knows how to pick em. This band snorts Nyquil, smokes cigars and pisses blood. The music is death/doom with an emphasis on pure unadulterated hatred towards the human race. Yes it’s sludgy, down tuned and after awhile a bit of a bore. In all seriousness I’m all for the kill em all and let the worms make love in your rotten flesh covered skull thing. But come on even STEELPOLE BATHTUB had a few up beat numbers.
