The Coffinshakers Graves, Release Your Dead Vinyl LP 2023

TBC

A cold wind blows from the snow-covered Carpathians, making the windows rattle and the corners of the house creak. Something is coming, eyes flashing red in the night and its footprints filled with grave dirt. What nocturnal terror is this? Why, it?s the arrival of the long-awaited third album by The Coffinshakers, folks. While most bands quickly lose the spark, The Coffinshakers have stayed relevant ? eternal like the undead. Though humor is their hallmark, there is also poignancy and something genuinely spine-tingling in their rugged, melancholy ballads. And this new offering shows them at the height of their baleful, campy power. They truly are a band that ages like fine wine ? although vampires, of course, never drink? wine. Much will be familiar to dedicated fans. Rob?s trademark malevolent chuckles still reverberate with sardonic glee, the deep rumble of his voice continuing to send all yellow-bellies hiding behind the barn. At the same time, his vocals have gained in both power and subtleness. The same goes for the guitar, bass, and drum work, now incorporating a broader array of classic Americana influences.
