Coffin Mulch - Spectral Intercession LP (Repress)

As everyone knows, there is so much quality death metal around nowadays, and it’s sometimes hard to get bands / releases heard by enough people due to the deluge; somehow I can’t see that being a problem with this album! COFFIN MULCH are staunchly DIY and have done everything on their own terms and in their own time, and despite playing a limited number of shows, and having only released about a dozen tracks in 4 years, they’ve still managed to build a reputation as one of the finest “new” death metal bands in the world.
“Septic Intercession” bolsters that reputation and then some, perfectly proving the old adage that “good things come to those that wait”.

This is a truly stunning death metal album. Just eight songs clocking in at just over half an hour - long enough to suck you into its twisted, depraved depths, but short enough to leave you gasping for air and begging for more!
The band have developed a superb knack of writing ferocious music that can at times be insanely catchy. Their perfectly harnessed, HM-2 fuelled raging fury has some obvious influences, but still sounds fresh and vital, and should see them elevated them to the top of the pile come the day of reckoning (well, the AOTY lists in December!).

As well as the sick death metal sounds, the talents of BRAD MOORE and WESLEY BROWN were commissioned to provide some equally sick artwork to adorn all formats, making it not only one of best sounding, but also best looking releases of the year!
