Coffin Storm (Fenriz doom thrash)

[Shitstirrer]

More shite to add to the fenriz CV.

Riffs are boring as fuck and the vocals are headache Inducing drunken man yodelling .

Fenriz needs to retire

[ldj]

Don't really get the controversy over the vocals tbh, that's the style of Candlemass-esque doom vocals, is it some sort of mental block knowing it's Fenriz doing them that's turning people off?

[Eoin McLove]

Funny, I've seen a few people mention Candlemass but it doesn't sound anything like any of their singers to me. A completely bizarre comparison. It sounds like Fenriz being Fenriz. Recent Darkthrone and Isengard albums spring to mind before I would ever consider any classic doom singers. The Lamp of Thoth would be a closer referent be point than Candlemass in terms of theatrics.

Tune is good craic and I actually like the full album artwork.

Where's the full artwork visible?

Vinterskugge on now, to fuck!

Ah well fair enough, that's more like it with the artwork alright. Band logo still looks too much like something made on a computer in the early 00s though.

Vocals are nothing at all like any of Candlemass' vocalists. Not sure how folk are coming up with that comparison. If anything, and they're not like them, but if anything they're closer to Cathedral than Candlemass.

[Eoin McLove]

I understood you to mean that that artwork was a snippet of a bigger piece. Looks ok.

[CorkonianHunger]

Fair enough.

Second listen, of course its the dramatic and humourous approach to the vocals that might turn people off, but I would rather this than playing it safe or boredom.

[Eoin McLove]

I agree. Better than having another Robert Lowe clone or whatever. Although it could have been cool with Apollyon doing his gravelly thing over it as well. Into it none the less.

[astfgyl]

This is fucking great. Brilliant tack altogether.

Hey McLove remember I was saying to you in the other thread about "good bad vocals"?

Well these are the good bad ones

Riffs are smashing in this as well

[Eoin McLove]

I'm all for bad vocals as long as they are good  but you crossed the line regarding Dionysiaque. You actually made me cry. My corpsepaint was running and me queuing in Aldi at the time. It was so embarrassing.

Ah sorry about that. I'd have pretended I liked the vocals if I knew you had feelings
