Cadaver Coils Interview

 

1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the solo project?


*  Greetings! 

Cadaver Coils took shape as a solo project during 2021. I wanted to follow a different path regarding the compositions part, comparing with what I write for Akrotheism.  So that time i found both the time and the will to complete it. 

    


2.In May you released your first full length, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical style that you went for on the recording?


I would say that this release belongs to the the "blackened death metal" scene, since elements from both styles are obvious. 

Although that I was deeply inspired from a large Death metal spectrum that I was listening to, and still do,   the black metal constituent in my style of composing will be apparent.


3,Most of your music is heavily rooted in the early 90's Finnish style, what was the decision behind going into this musical direction?

*

I admire this sound and I wanted to give my work a similar result. Its full of wrath and rawness and in my opinion this the way that this style has to be.  But I'm not focused only in that era. A lot of modern bands are making an impact in my songwriting. Such as Grave Miasma,  Necros Christos , and Vastum just to name a few. 


4.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects you have explored so far with the music?


* The lyrical theme on this album, is based on the grimoire "The Black Pullet". So more or less the songs are delivering the aura from this book. 


5.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Cadaver Coils'?


* The name of the band is based on an image that i had came across in a gallery once, depicting human remains gathered in a circular structure. And this is how this name was born. 


6.Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the new album cover?


* The cover is made by a very talented artist. Nuno zuki, aka belial necroarts.

Despite the fact that it was not a commission, this work meets a 100% the title of the album. Every word can be seen in this artwork.


7.With this project you record everything by yourself, are you open to working with other musicians or do you prefer to work solo?


* Yes, I cooperate with other musicians at the moment for rehearsing the material of this album so as to play live in some point. 

I believe that in the next release, I will not record everything by my self. Working alone may gives you freedom about doing things exactly in the way you want and fast. But on the other hand, the usage of other musicians' opinions gives another perspective and result to a work. 


8.On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your music by fans of underground metal?


* Up to now i have received a very good feedback both from people that listened to this album and from reviews that i come across through internet. I would say that I'm very satisfied about how the whole thing ended up. 



9.Where do you see yourself heading into as a musician during the future?


* Practicing more, and continue to give my best both in Cadaver Coils and Akrotheism as  well. I would like also to be more involved in the sound engineering section and improve in time. I haven't mentioned that i did the production of this album as well.


10.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?


* As I mention before, a lot of bands have a significant role in my songwriting style. 

Some of these bands are Dead Congregation, Grave Miasma, Mefitic, Blood Incantation, Teitalblood etc..


11.Does Occultism play any role in your music?


* Occultism plays role in my music in general as a subject that attracts me and makes me study and research about it. 


12.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?


* I would like to thank you again for your time having this interview.

Cadaver Coils/Offerings Of Rapture And Decay/Iron Bonehead Productions/2022 CD Review

 


  Cadaver  Coils  are  a  solo  project  from  Greece  that  plays  a  very  old  school  and  blackened  form  of  doom/death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  his  2022  album  "Offerings  Of  Rapture  And  Decay"  which  was  released  by  Iron  Bonehead  Productions.


  Dark  soundscapes  start  off  the  album  before  going  into  a  heavier  musical  direction  which  is  also  very  heavily  rooted  in  the  early  90's  era.  When  the  music  speeds  up  a  decent  amount  of  blast  beats  can  also  be  heard  while  the  vocals  are  a  mixture  of  death  metal  growls  and  black  metal  screams.


  When  guitar  solos  and  leads  are  utilized  they  are  also  done  in  a  very  dark  yet  melodic  style  while  the  songs  also  add  in  a  decent  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts.  Most  of  the  tracks  are  also  very  long  and  epic  in  length  along  with  some  elements  of  doom  metal  also  being  added  into  the  slower  sections  of  the  album,  tremolo  picking  can  also  be  heard  in  some  of  the  faster  riffing  and  as  the  recording  progresses  a  brief  use  of  spoken  word  samples  can  also  be  heard  and  all  of  the  musical  instruments  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.


  Cadaver  Coils  plays  a  musical  style  that  is  mostly  rooted  in  an  early  90's  style  of  death  metal  as  well  as  mixing  in  elements  of  black  and  doom  metal  to  create  a  sound  of  his  own.  The  production  sounds  very  old  school  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark  themes.


  In  my  opinion  Cadaver  Coils  are  a  very  great  sounding  blackened  doom/death  metal  solo  project  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Fruits  Of  Avarice"  and  "Arid  Sand  Tomb".  8  out  of  10.
