Since Kat
Shevil (vocals and drums, also lead singer of Winds of Genocide) made me listen to a Uncoffined's song, in the first half of the year, my
desire to listen to this album debut was unchanged. I had the sensation that
Uncoffined was brought slightly really well in hands. And this way it is, my
friends, so " Ritual Death and Funeral Rites " is a very good album. In
fact, it is one of the Doom Death's best records of the year, do not even doubt
it. The British quartet progresses slowly and heavy, leaving a trail of death
and putrefaction in its path that makes the stench of death lasts several
minutes after the end of playback of the album. Not only the smell of death and
plague emerges from each of the six songs that integrate this very good album,
black candle smoke, the darkness and cold of the dark mists surrounding
everything that sounds from the beginning to the end of the record. An album
that found in the loving Kat an outstanding figure. The Winds of Genocide lead
singer sings with all her strength, her growls thrill, frighten, disturb. At
times she sounds like great Kam Lee in Doom version, but so loud and mortuary
as the legendary lead singer of Massacre / Mantas / etc. Each infernal growl
uttered by Kat, makes many supposed tough guys should look for a place to hide,
and to force them to assume that, besides Kat, many of these rude guys are just
lambs dressed as wolves. As for her performance as a drummer, Kat uses the same
technique used to sing: gives all of herself, hitting the pads with all her
strength, to slow and steady rhythm, besides sounding really heavy.
G. Hall
(guitar), Gory Sugden (bass) and Jonny Rot (guitar) are not far behind, they
get into the catacombs of pain and misery, and from there perpetrate his evil
plans converted into chords and sounds of the underworld. Each chord played by
these three occultists priests penetrates under the skin of the listener, what
evil entity emerging from a ritual and seizing its caller. Uncoffined, the 4
musicians together, immerse the listener in the freezing darkness of the
Beyond, raise prayers to the Unknown, and outline figures intangibles but dark
sound, as what we can not see, but through sounds creepy indicates that his
presence is real. Real as the songs of this exquisite funeral called
"Ritual Death & Funeral Rites", the long awaited (by me)
Uncoffined debut album: a very good band.
Extra
information: While all the songs are memorable (the title track is great), the
cover of Revelation "Frustrations" is glorious. And data for anything
less, the cover was made by Ola Sjöberg, another great band guitarist: God
Macabre.
