Coffinworm

IV.I.VIII

Profound Lore

Emerging from the Indianapolis underground in 2007, notorious blackened doom metal abomination Coffinworm first attained notoriety with their 2009 Great Bringer of Night demo. The group unleashed their debut LP, When All Become None, the next year, making a even bigger impression in doom / sludge metal circles and following it with a series of devastating live shows that included appearances at SXSW and The Power of the Riff. Four years after the release of their first album, Coffinworm returns with a followup that levels its predecessor—called by acclaimed producer / engineer Sanford Parker (Corrections House, Twilight, Yakuza, Wovenhand, Lord Mantis, etc.) one of the most insane and craziest albums he’s ever recorded. Far more complex and lacerating than anything the band has attempted thus far, IV.I.VIII offers six tracks of pure, blackened, unholy doom metal terror that will serve as the soundtrack to the inevitable dark era soon to befall this feeble mortal coil.

Flenser

***COFFINWORM play ugly music for hateful people. The doomhauling quintet first came crawling out of the primordial ooze of Indianapolis’ DIY underground in 2007, and have kept themselves busy doing the devil’s work ever since. The Flenser is pleased to be dragging this filthy gem out into the sunlight to give it the treatment it so richly deserves. This deluxe version will include two additional unreleased tracks from the demo recording sessions in all their raw glory, and comes graced with artwork from BYRAN PROTEAU. Sludge, tortured doom, snarling black metal, knuckle dragging death metal and a few handfuls of crossed-over punk meld together into one of the nastiest, most misanthropic, most wonderfully ugly albums you’ll ever hear. Previous release on Profound Lore.

When All Became None

Profound Lore

Indianapolis, Indiana's Coffinworm made an impact in 2009 with Great Bringer of Night (recorded by Gates of Slumber drummer Bob Fouts), hailed by a number of underground publications as one of the best metal demos of the year. Incorporating influences from the likes of Eyehategod, Deathspell Omega, and Unearthly Trance, the band's vicious and unforgiving combination of sludge, doom and black metal possesses a depraved aura of terror. When All Became None, Coffinworm's proper debut full-length, will undoubtedly go down as one of the darkest and most powerful sludge metal albums ever released. Through thick walls of reverb and feedback, the band unleashes massive, monolithic riffs heavy enough to shift the fault lines of the earth. Vocalist Dave Brits's throat-searing vo-kill assault carries the weight of a diabolical storm. Captured on tape by Sanford Parker (YOB, Yakuza, Nachtmystium, Gates of Slumber, Buried at Sea, etc.), this sonic nightmare of unholy proportions delivers to the utmost devastating and blasphemous degree. The downfall and destruction of humanity is at hand, and When All Became None shall serve as its soundtrack.
