No Clean Singing is currently the only place to hear “Hands Of Death,” the new track from Portland, Oregon death metal crew COFFIN ROT. The song is the latest warning shot from the band’s impending second album, Dreams Of The Disturbed, nearing September release on Maggot Stomp.
On Dreams Of The Disturbed, COFFIN ROT prepares to deliver an album that builds on the elements of death established in the band's previous works but has diverged into something far darker, far more sinister, and much heavier. Pulling influences from the technical guitar prowess of Vile-era Cannibal Corpse as well as mixing elements of the more chaotic dissonant and blackened chord structures of Dead Congregation and aspects of Death’s melodicism and guitar virtuoso, the band can continue to proudly showcase that while wearing their influences on their sleeves, it's the ability to take these influences and craft songs that will plague your mind with visions of the perverse and deranged, leaving you hungry for more.
Dreams Of The Disturbed was recorded at The Underworld Studio with Charlie Koryn (Ascended Dead, Decrepisy), mixed and Mastered at Subterranean Watchtower Studios with Damien Herring (Horrendous), and completed with cover art by Wyrmwalk.
With the new single, “Hands Of Death,” the band offers, “You wanted fast? You got it. This song is about the Florida Everglades murder cult that serial killers Henry Lee Lucas and Otis Toole claimed to be members of upon their capture. Although never proven to be real, the claims of human sacrifice and ritualistic slaughter are haunting. Take a trip with us deep into the swamps and listen as the alligators feast on the corpses of discarded victims.”
No Clean Singing writes with their premiere of the song, “In musically depicting these hideous imaginings, COFFIN ROT do bring on the slaughter and the swamp. But the musical killing sprees, though plainly deranged, aren’t primitive and unimaginative. Instead, the fretwork is intricate in its rapidly darting and writhing forms of dementia, the bass-work is nimble and prominent, and the drumming is constantly variable. No doubt, the vocals are monstrously cruel and fanatical, and the tremolo’d whir of the riffage sounds like the maniacal scything of body parts. The soloing also sounds ecstatic, though we don’t forget the perversions that bring the joy despite how exhilarating the solos are.”
