“Stitching together the frenzied snarl of gory early 1990s OSDM and eerily plodding doom intonations, Coffins find no shame in continuing to perfect the vile, derelict strain of dungeon-crawling death-doom for which they are revered.” – Invisible Oranges

Japan’s Coffins return with their crushing new full-length album, »Sinister Oath«. Recorded ahead of the band’s 25th anniversary in Tokyo, »Sinister Oath« further cements Coffins’ legacy as one of the most putrid sounding and uncompromising Old School Death Metal bands in the world.

From the chest-pounding, drudgy opening of “Spontaneous Rot” to the hammer-crushing riffage of “Things Infestation” thereafter, »Sinister Oath« creeps and crawls through a cavernous space firmly rooted in no-frills death metal. The band’s signature sound is forever-present: equal parts bleak, doomy, crusty, disgusting, and wholly heavy.

Featuring album art by Axel Hermann (Asphyx, Bloodbath, Demolition Hammer, Sodom, and more,) »Sinister Oath« is Coffins at their most vile!

Coffins is a Japanese doom-death band, formed in 1996, that has scavenged the depths of evil and darkness throughout their decade-plus existence as they slowly work toward a flawless refinement of all the things we love about the genre. A refreshing and mind-bending amalgamation of doom and death metal’s greatest moments, Coffins are here to destroy souls.
