‘The Tenebrous Mist’ is a self-released debut demo by Italian Death/Doom duo Coffin Breath, that has since be put out on cassette by Seed of Doom Records. Opener ‘Marching into Lethargy’ is a dark, feral piece with a mid paced tempo created by a solid drumming foundation, but the real majesty of this is the oppressively dark guitar leads and raw, throat punishing growls. With bass lines drenched in groove and the riffs mired in bleak soul crushing misanthropy, this is my kind of Death Metal through and through! Added to the mix are guitar tones like an angry wasps nest inside your head, plus a steel fused nocturnal melody that transports you into the darkest recesses of your mind, whilst simultaneously the vocals get more desperate and anguished as the song rises to crescendo. Equally as punishing is the title track ‘The Tenebrous Mist’ which rises slowly through engaging guitar leads and more harrowing growled vocals, and once more lets the guitar melodies, savage and dark as they are, wander off on a journey of their own, transporting you along with them. I love this demo from start to finish. More Coffin Breath is required! (Luke Hayhurst)
