Vacant Coffin - Biography


This band's profile is 'invisible', meaning that it's much less prominent on the site - either because it's incomplete, or maybe doesn't entirely fit MS format.


Biography

In early 2007 Lasse (PHLEGETHON, HOODED MENACE etc.) and Jussi (EX-PHLEGETHON) formed VACANT COFFIN to satisfy their grinding need for fast, heavy, dirty and short songs. In other words they wanted to create a band that blasts out old school death/grind in the vein of old NAPALM DEATH, CARCASS and TERRORIZER to mention a few. Unfortunately Jussi had no time for Vacant Coffin so Lasse recorded "THE THRASHED SUPPER" -demo by himself in 2007.

The line up was completed pretty soon after the demo was unleased as Lasse asked Pete for the bass and Pekka was found for the drums. After intense songwriting and rehearsing the band was ready to record their debut album. Horror obsessed US label RAZORBACK RECORDS released the furious 16-song album "SEWER SKULLPTURE" in December 2008. This recording now shows the band taking more inspiration from classic death metal acts such as early ENTOMBED and MORBID ANGEL. Vacant Coffin presents its death metal-ridden murky sound without losing the deeply rooted grindcore influences. Get in the coffin! It is sewer rot time!!!
