Coilback

"Love Is Dead"
(Shadowmorph Music)
by Paul Autry

Coilback's "Love Is Dead" is just what the doctor ordered. A heavy album with solid tunes, a great sound and no bullshit. What I really dig about this release is the fact that the music is simple to describe...it's metal and it's heavy...and, yes, that style of music has been done before, more times than I can count actually. But, when you listen to this release, it sounds fresh, like something you've never heard before. It takes a lot of talent to pull off some shit like that and, obviously, Coilback must be loaded with it because this album attaches itself to you from the moment you hear it.

I really dig the fact that there's a lot of variety on this album...and a lot of music. Thirteen songs with a running time that's a few seconds short of a full hour. When an album's this long, there usually tends to be some weak material, filler, whatever you wanna call it. That's not the case here. I dug this one from start to finish and then some. I was really fond of "Nothing's Done," which was a quick tune with a punk vibe. "Hate Me" was quite good in the lyrical department. "Your Misery" was a pretty kickin' tune and, hell, if I have to keep thinking about it, I'm sure I can find something decent to say about each and every track because they're all good. It's pretty much the perfect album for the everyday headbanger. How's that for a quick one liner? Any praise this band is given is well deserved. So, if I was you, I would seriously consider checking out Coilback to hear what they have to offer. I guarantee you one thing...you won't be disappointed.
