Demo review: Koffin - Nailed Into The Coffin (2020)

 

Koffin – Nailed Into The Coffin - Demo (2020)

Estonia

Morbid Chapel Records


Koffin is a young band hailing from Tartu, Estonia, and "Nailed Into The Coffin" is their debut demo and released on CD by Morbid Chapel Records. Koffin play a chunky style of old-school Death Metal that's loads of fun to listen to. There's no doubt that these guys are inspired by old Scandinavian death metal as there is some obvious influences shining through. The band has an excellent grasp for heaviness with a sound that brings to mind bands like Convulse, Rottrevore, and Rippikoulu. The low-end production is absolutely paramount and gives the riffs the necessary crunch to distinguish itself along with everything else. Between the four members, there isn't one instrument being played that doesn't stand out, everything goes well together and the mix is excellent. At this point, I've listened to this demo several times and still can't get enough of it. Demos come and go, but few rip through you with such heaviness and conviction as the release in question. Highly recommended. (HT)
