Swamp Coffin Translate Tragedy Into Crushing Sludge On Latest EP

Rotherham based sludge metal three-piece Swamp Coffin release their debut EP, “Flatcap Bastard Features” on 23rd August exclusively via download from Bandcamp and on 1st September through all other digital platforms.

Musically rooted in 90’s NOLA sludge but with strong nods to Sabbathian groove and even death metal elements, Swamp Coffin have forged their own nasty, uncompromising sound.  “Flatcap Bastard Features” was conceived during a testing time for vocalist/guitarist Jon Rhodes whose brother-in-law was tragically killed in a car accident in October 2017 and 9 months later watched as a large part of his home burned down in a house fire, leaving him and his family homeless and living at a caravan site for 6 months. Suffering with mental health issues and in need of some catharsis, this has manifested itself into four crushing tracks clocking in at just under 34 minutes, combining personal lyrics with hard-hitting riffs and grooves.

Following on from 2017s two-track release and now in their second year as a three-piece Swamp Coffin have already shared stages with such luminaries as OHHMS, USA’s Secret Cutter, Edinburgh’s King Witch and opened up the main stage at this year’s Doomlines festival in Sheffield alongside The Body, Bast, Cattle and others. Swamp Coffin will also be supporting Japanese doom-death legends Coffins on one of only two UK dates in September and will be playing this year’s Gizzardfest alongside such bands as The Crawling, Archelon, Tides Of Sulfur, Battalions, Barbarian Hermit, and 1968.
