If there’s a better description of Japanese trio Coffins than the review of the group’s demo on Metal Archives, I haven’t found it: “Coffins are like the Charles Manson of the metal world. Despite being captivating and undoubtedly unique and interesting, the underlying feeling that what you’re listening to is completely fucking evil is always present.” Operating word here: evil. As in: a possible soundtrack of the coming Apocalypse. Two new tracks from the upcoming Coffins LP on 20 Buck Spin have been posted on the group’s MySpace page.  As with previous releases, Coffins remains under the thrall of countrymen Corrupted — they’re pounding square pegs into round holes with the same brutish ennunciations but a slightly different tool kit (the Bay Area thrash-style riff on “Under the Stench”). If you’re new to Coffins, it’s worth noting that two songs is the perfect make-or-break point; anything more and you’ll need a shower and a trip to confession.
