Coffin Lurker - Foul And Defiled

 

Now here's a record that's a fucking crusher. Coffin Lurker are a Dutch death-doom band and their new record, Foul And Defiled is filthy. This is quite literally some of the heaviest doom that I have heard this year. Their bottom scraping sound punishes ears and leaves listeners gasping for breath. It's the sort of demented offering that proves there are terrifying new places doom metal can go and they rule. It's the reason we fell in love with this genre and the thing that keeps us paying tribute to the demented machinations that define it. 

Foul And Defiled is heavy in a way few of the bands peers can match. The sense of pain and torment they convey is only bested by the sheer level of volume. This is a band who are barely a step away from Sunn0))), which allows them to craft something distinctly more coherent. The end result is a record that is mesmerizing and powerful, one that you can get lost in and which routinely goes above and beyond in dragging listeners into the pit. Coffin Lurker prove here that they are crushers of the sort that come around but rarely. As the haunting and colossal melody of a track like 'Sacrificial Chalice' proves, Coffin Lurker are a unique brand of devastating. 

Coffin Lurker are a terrifying band to hear unfold upon your eardrums. They are the type of heavy that legitimately upsets some people. If you're not ready for something that operates on the extremes of human experience then this is not going to be the album for you. However, if you're looking to delve deep and understand a twisted side of humanity few dare to uncover then you are going to be stunned by the twisted visions that have come to define this band. Lose yourself in the pure hate and fall in love with the crush once again.
