Heddbuzz (I.R. Puffinstuff) Swamp people put their dead in crypts above ground. Because floating corpses. Sick. Favorite track: Knuckledrageger.

DoomBlogMan Grim, grasping death-doom from the dark North. Grooves like Cathedral but eschews their disco-doom for slower, lumbering laments on everything that's shit about modern life. Lyrically an absolute cracker throughout. Horrible, in the best way. Favorite track: Jägerbombs Away.

Darknight Just listen to the riff on 'Knuckledragger' and you'll feel exactly like the earth is moving beneath your feet. Swamp Coffin are the ultimate sludgetastic riff Lords of metal right now. FFO Conan, Crowbar and Ilsa Favorite track: Knuckledrageger.

agent27 I’ve filed this entire album under “Riffs I Wish I Had F’ng Written”. Truly inspiring work. You don’t make an album this impactful without pouring in loads of passion and real grit. This band has proven that not only do they love their craft, but they’re learning to master it as well.

Your Problem 05:59
This is the end of New beginnings Count the headstones And see who's winning Bitter misjudgement Its the last one Pound of flesh demanded So thanks a ton You got what you wanted Hypocrisy confronted Left drowning at the bottom Guess what cunt, its your problem Nothing ventured Nothing gained Makes no difference To those enslaved You play the victim To save your face Your lies have hidden The poison's taste This is the end of New beginnings Masks of saints worn To hide your sinning Chance of redemption Lost in the ash Weight of the world consumes you As throat meets glass Guess what cunt, its your problem

Think I've finally seen the future Everything blurs living in the past Glass the gun, the bottle the shooter Never know how long this will last Always seem the sollution Change the way a weak mind will work Feeling numbed, you're neutered Kill for now but in the morning it hurts Another Friday night pissed away Pour me, poor me Another bridge goes down in flames Pour me, poor me Taking chances, dodging bullets Always hope for the best Treat your family fucking useless Knife in the back, an axe to the chest Another Friday night pissed away Pour me, poor me Another bridge goes down in flames Pour me, poor me Another Friday night pissed away Pour me, poor me Set 'em up, knock 'em down Jagerbombs away Your life is in the past Your life is in your glass Think I've finally seen the future Everything blurs living in the past Glass the gun, the bottle the shooter Never know how long this will last Always seem the sollution Change the way a weak mind will work Feeling numbed, you're neutered Kill for now but in the morning it hurts

There's a ship Namesake of an inn An iron wench Commands within Rule with fire Across the land All shall falter To her withered hand Hordes have come, steal your blood For your women and rape the land Cannot run, cannot resist All will fall to Victoria Many have tried to dethrone the queen All ends in failure, a war unseen Mighty empiree, to be free Mountains crumble down rivers to the sea Hordes have come, steal your blood For your women and rape the land Cannot run, cannot resist All will fall to Victoria Speak in whisper, a reckoning comes Gave your hope, gave your sons Took your homes, took your breath All will fall to Victoria Kingdoms will rot Kingdoms will fall Kingdoms will rot Kingdoms will fall Embracing death is not a reason to fear life Become your Valhalla Become your Valhalla

A misery addiction A life sentence, a hoped drained spell in a mortal prison Terminal affliction Every day slaves are born to the inhuman condition An endless cycle of torment Live and breathe, suffer die and resent But you can't see past the decent Every day at the mercy of the demons your mind invents To all who worship at the altar of the noose There is time to turn back A different path to choose Forever Forever dead

History repeated A different time a different curse Forever defeated Always changing for the worse A mind so narrow Turn your back on thoughts of change In hidden shallows Face down drowning in your grave Slowly corrupted Twisted words are drenched in spin Failed by those trusted Classes wage their wars within Belief in nothing Regurgitate the lies you're fed They'll leave you rotting Under control and good as dead Disrespect the wars of old When you believe the shit you're sold Learned for nothing Worked for naught Hail your master You're only one step from disaster Blame the bastard You're nothing but a knuckledragger History repeated A different time a different curse Forever defeated Always changing for the worse A mind so narrow Turn your back on thoughts of change In hidden shallows Face down drowning in your grave

A ruined empire decays from within No excuse for the shape we're in Drawn to the carcass, bones picked clean Still obsessed with what could have been For every hardship we're put through Welcome to rot For all the poison in you Welcome to rot Cast out, chewed up and stronger for it You'll never get forgiveness but Welcome to rot A once steel promise left to rust Last ounce of faith you had turns to dust Slowly watch as the sands falls past Now all you're left with is shards of glass Taken for fools We all knew What this would come to

about

Rotherham based three-piece, sludge band Swamp Coffin return with the colossal new album ’Noose Almighty’ on UK label APF Records. It’s an incredibly cathartic record covering depression, trauma, grief, betrayal and a general disenchantment with the world.

Recorded in only three days, the band had rehearsed the material to death beforehand so they could record efficiently and more importantly leave time for their usual 'mad experimentation' and layering which takes a record from being great to something truly special. The band add,

"Owen really is our secret sauce in the studio, our fifth Beatle, and we knew we were always going to have him behind the desk again to work on Noose Almighty. We bonded and became good mates during the making of the last record and having someone who we trust, who understands the band and how we work and gets the best out of the three of us is really important. This is where Owen really earns his money. I will already have some production ideas in mind, Owen always seems to understand what I’m trying to achieve and then brings his own suggestions to the table. That element of chaos makes things really exciting and I think that shines through on the finished album which, frankly, sounds fucking huge.”

Tracks such as 'Your Problem' and 'Welcome To Rot’ were both conceived in the band's practice room and bookend the album perfectly. Both snarling and nasty, with vicious drumming they will rile up any listener.

Album title track ’Noose Almighty' may surprise some fans of the band as it’s completely different to anything the band have ever done whilst still sounding very much like Swamp Coffin. Influences and elements they’ve hinted at over the years are fully on display and it builds into a massive epic. Jon comments,

"The song title and lyrics came to me whilst on holiday in Disney World, shortly followed by the main riffs. It was pretty fucked up wandering around Disney and seeing Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck with that song coming together in my head and constantly playing in my mind. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out, that song means a lot to me."

Swamp Coffin was founded by Jon Rhodes and David Wistow in 2016 as a way of keeping a pair of grownups out of trouble for a few hours a week. Swamp Coffin quickly morphed in to a recording project and a two-track release was put out in late 2017 featuring Jamie Rhodes on vocals. With the addition of Shawn Denton on bass in 2018 and Jon taking over vocal duties as well as guitar, Swamp Coffin became a fully-fledged live act and started laying waste to venues all over the country.

Musically rooted in 90’s NOLA sludge but with strong nods to Sabbath's groove and even death metal elements, Swamp Coffin have forged their own nasty, uncompromising sound and they have been proud to share stages with such luminaries as Raging Speedhorn, Coffins, The Body, Secret Cutter, Conan, Mastiff and OHHMS amongst many others.
