This band hails from Dallas, Texas and is a three piece. They started out as Liquor Goat in 2000 and eventually became Coilback. I'm not [sure] exactly what you'd call these boys. Heavy metal goth with a black metal look I guess. I can already tell that this band has a very heavy Rob Zombie/White Zombie influence. That comes through loud and clear in the first track already and the sampling they do. "Unbroken" sounds almost like "Thunderkiss '65" with different lyrics. The lyrics and melodies are very catchy and the vocals remind me of a mixture of Rob Zombie and James Hetfield. I really like the track "Let Me Go". The band manages to present old school metal with a fresh new sound. Very solid drumming and heavy riffs and lyrics you find yourself singing along to. I love "Time For Pain". It has those James Hetfield vocals. I have to say that "Unbroken", "Let Me Go", and "Time For Pain" are my top favorites from this album. I highly recommend checking out this band.
