Tombtoker - Coffin Texts (2018)
Coming at us out of Baltimore,
Maryland, the five-piece band of Tombtoker bring their debut EP out
on the heels of their demo, which released about half a year ago.
Infusing the standard stoner doom metal with a sludgy bit of punk
energy and antagonism, the group merges crunchy riffs with sharp
beats while keeping a swampy vibe active underneath. Over the course
of the EP's ~20-minute run, Tombtoker capably demonstrate their
facility with cranking out hard beaters alongside more withdrawn doom
indulgences, and the band operates with such tightness to their
playing that it's hard at times to pick out the individual guitars
from their twining grooves. A solid first full release, and those
who've been looking for stoner metal with a harder edge would do well
to check these guys out.
