Consisting of members from well known crust bands Stormcrow (Tony and Brian) and Sanctum (Nick). Femacoffin from Oakland, California keep the original heavy crusty death metal approach to their music like their previous bands. Through the doomy hecatomb, there are strains of bands like Bolt Thrower and Misery. The term ‘warcrust’ has been knocked about for this kind of Bolt Thrower styled crust, which bands like Last Legion Alive, Warmaster and of course Stormcrow and Sanctum play so well. But I don’t know will the term stick around as it’s not as hated as the other much hated term there called “stenchcore”. But hey it’s another new term we can knock around and annoy everyone who hate words like “neo-folk”, “blackened crust”, “neo-crust”, “Cascadian black metal” etc. I personally don’t care what it’s called, I just love real heavy well played filthy musick so I could listen to this on repeat all day. These are crusty punks playing death metal but with a political vent which for me gives it the extra kick in the arse. The band themselves have tagged it on Bandcamp as punk-crust-death metal-decay-sadness which I think describes the sound quite well.
I can’t wait for their five song cassette demo which is in the works, which I’m sure will be as heavy as a ton of bricks… doomy crust ridden bricks that is.
