INTO COFFIN To Release "The Majestic Supremacy Of Cosmic Chaos"



Never heard about this band before (shame on me), but thanks to a recent post by Kat Shevil Gillham (expressing once again her good taste) I approached this band and had the pleasure to taste great doom death metal.

INTO COFFIN from Germany released a demo and a full-length so far and are about to release the new EP "The Majestic Supremacy of Cosmic Chaos" on December 4th via Terror Fom Hell Records.

Nothing but obscure and slow death/doom on this 1:19m video teaser, and I'm eager to have this record.  If you want this on vinyl (like me), the LP version will come out early in 2018, the CD version is already available here.

ABIGOR "Höllenzweng - Chronicles of Perdition" Album details revealed.



Austrian black metallers ABIGOR revealed details of the new album "Höllenzwang - Chronicles of Perdition" which will be released next year "after the summer makes way for the autumn´s gloom".

The band describes the new musical opus as performance and execution of black metal in a very traditional Old School way. ABIGOR shared a few insights about the concept of the album.

"...Our new album was recorded without a single "blastbeat", without multi-guitar madness or downtuned disharmonic riffing.  String wise, minimalism was the law - only one guitar left, one guitar right, and a bass in the middle.  Not one single additional guitar-track to add soli, melodies or double-tracks."

"Lyrically, all hokuspokus and theological pondering was avoided. It´s not an album of a seeker, or about one´s initiation, or to lecture, but about the Devil and the Devil only! An impulsive work stripped down to the very basics that maybe could have been released in the 1990s."

"This technical restriction as well as a focus on the the evil force that sparked Black Metal ablaze at the beginning of the 90s also torched our work again."

These words sound very promising indeed, but to accompany these words the band provided a stream of songs excerpts, check it out. Album tracklist below...




1. All Hail Darkness And Evil
2. Sword Of Silence
3. Black Icarus
4. The Cold Breath Of Satan
5. Our Lord´s Arrival - Black Death Sathanas
6. None Before Him
7. Olden Days
8. Hymn To The Flaming Void
9. Christ´s Descent Into Hell

10. Ancient Fog Of Evil
11. Metamorphosis
