Swamp Coffin – Flatcap Bastard Features
Self-Released – 2019 (August 23rd)
Sludge, Doom, Stoner
Rated: ****
Swamp Coffin have heaved themselves from the mire and embarked on a corpse-strewn campaign of horror with their latest opus, Flatcap Bastard Features and like the Peaky Blinders, they're hellbent on taking over your territory, stealing your stash and slitting your throat simultaneously! This is the soundtrack to a freeze-frame Crime Scene investigation: opener 'Blood in the Water' is a sadistic autopsy on a twitching cadaver...a necrotizing, rotten riff-fest of low-end loathing..."Annihulus" looms and slavers with dripping avarice over a squelching Doom cadence as heavy as Conscience. "Black Shirt, Blacker Sabbath" evokes the slow torture of the Rack...cranking the agony with each fuzz-fueled note and bowing with reverence to the Tormentor. "Last of the Summer Slime" is the culmination of the tome... bleak, unforgiving and brutally slow, the funeral dirge for Compost, Fugly and Clag. Flatcap Bastard Features will catch you off-guard, drain your blood and replace it with embalming slime. Swamp Coffin have risen to put the 'ROT' in Rotherham...
