| A split CD that brings together two long-running and extremely prolific Death Metal cults, featuring all-new and exclusive materials. Of course, Coffins are one of Japan´s most renowned exports, brandishing an immediately identifiable style of sewer-drenched Death/Doom Metal since 1996. Here with their 3 tracks, Coffins largely forego the doom part of that equation and kick into high(er) gear with gross gallops of prime, classic Death Metal bubbling up from ancient times -and fittingly, capped off by a cover of Grave´s "Morbid Way to Die". Germany´s Depression have been active even longer, since 1989, and their tried and true style of old school Death/Grind reflects that. Cleaner in production than their split-mates but no less gross in texture, Depression kick out 6 swift stabs of alternately headbanging/grinding gore, fittingly including a cover of Coffins´ "Altars in Gore".
