COFFIN LURKER
Coffin Lurker is the rogue brainchild of dutch musicians Maurice De Jong AKA Mories (Gnaw Their Tongues, Cloak of Altering, De Magia Veterum, Dodenbezweerder etc.), and Rene Aquarius (Cryptae, Dead Neanderthals, Imperial Cult, Plague Organ etc.). As seen with their preexisting respective projects and the natural inclination of the musicians involved, the connecting thread in Coffin Lurker is also pure and unbridled experimentalism and attempting to break new ground by reshaping and reinterpreting familiar sounds through the lens of near homicidal extremism and deviant deconstructionism. In this sense the duo set out in a perverse plan to take doom metal to extremes it has never before seen, by adding ulterior shapes and dimensions to the foundations already set by doom metal’s most extreme bands ever, namely entities like Grave Upheaval, Moss, Corrupted, Hell, Meth Drinker, Tyranny, Sunn O))), Encoffination, Primitive Man, along with more experimental and outlandish extreme metal entities like Ride For Revenge, Profanatica and Void Meditation Cult. Extending doom’s path into a dark future unknown, in Coffin Lurker everything got more extreme in every aspect possible: atmospheres more antihuman and overwhelming, guitars more downtuned, layered and crushing than ever before, tempos crawling at the edge of oblivion and nearly frozen to a suffocating stasis, soundscapes and song structures overbearingly cold and oppressive slowed down to a mechanical aural entombment reminiscent of certain extreme strains of industrial music, death-doom vocals reaching inhuman low registers bellowed out from guts turned inside out, and of course steeping piles of hatred, nihilism, disgust, misanthropy and all-encompassing negativity to round out an experiment of both familiar yet aberrant and futuristic traits. On these premises during 2020 the band patiently and carefully crafted their debut LP aptly titled "Foul and Defiled" which in its inhumanly overbearing traits of extremism and experimentalism was surely destined to cross path with Sentient Ruin, which will issue the abominable work on June 7 2021 on LP/MC and digital formats worldwide.
