Coffins – Craving To Eternal Slumber (2015)

October 27, 2023

I’m finding it pretty fucking wild that I’ve made it to 2023 without really writing about Coffins (sans their split with XXX Maniak). I’ve never been the biggest fan but coffins have been a mainstay in the sloooooooooooow side of death metal for many a year now, so just out of pure numbers and math I should have reviewed one of their records. Alas, here we are.

Craving To Eternal Slumber is a nice little EP (that’s as long as some band’s LPs lol) which isn’t quite as dark and dreary as earlier efforts, and has a clear and warm production sound. Keeping pace at more of an “Autopsy” level rather than something more funeral-paced, Coffins plod through some chugging metal salvos that a well worth your time if groove and doom are ingredients that you like in your death metal.
