Encoffination/Ritual Ascending Beyond Death/SelfMadeGodRecords/2010 CD Review


  Encoffination are a band with members from Georgia and Texas that plays a very heavy and brutal style of doom/death metal and this is a review of their 2010 album "Ritual Ascending Beyond Death" which was released by SelfMadeGod Records.

Drums are mostly slow doom style drumming with some mid paced to fast playing that utilizes some blast beats, while the bass playing has a very heavy and distorted tone that mixes doom metal and death metal together.

Rhythm guitars are mostly slow and heavy doom/death metal riffs with some faster death metal riffing being used at times, and there are little to no lead guitars or solos present on this album.

Vocals are all deep death/doom growls with some high pitched screams and samples being thrown in at times, while the lyrics cover the ritual ascension of death and purity, as for the production it sounds very heavy, dark and powerful.

I n my opinion Encoffination are a very great doom/death metal band that should appeal to all fans of this genre. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Nefarious Yet Elegant Are The Bowls Of Hell" "Entombment Of Breathing Flesh" and "Coffinpsalms". RECOMMENDED BUY.
