In early 2007 Lasse (PHLEGETHON, HOODED MENACE etc.) and Jussi (EX-PHLEGETHON) formed VACANT COFFIN to satisfy their grinding need for fast, heavy, dirty and short songs. In other words they wanted to create a band that blasts out old school death/grind in the vein of old NAPALM DEATH, CARCASS and TERRORIZER to mention a few. Unfortunately Jussi had no time for Vacant Coffin so Lasse recorded "THE THRASHED SUPPER" -demo by himself in 2007. The line up was completed pretty soon after the demo was unleased as Lasse asked Pete for the bass and Pekka was found for the drums. After intense songwriting and rehearsing the band was ready to record their debut album. Horror obsessed US label RAZORBACK RECORDS released the furious 16-song album "SEWER SKULLPTURE" in December 2008. This recording now shows the band taking more inspiration from classic death metal acts such as early ENTOMBED and MORBID ANGEL. Vacant Coffin presents its death metal-ridden murky sound without losing the deeply rooted grindcore influences. Get in the coffin! It is sewer rot time!!!
"This is without a doubt one of our best pure DEATH/GRIND albums in many years, since our early albums from FRIGHTMARE, MACHETAZO, etc. This is loaded with catchy and killer riffs, perfect blast beats the way they were meant to be (none of that modern, "hyperblast/gravity blast" garbage), and tons of death metal-tinged riffing done in the classic style, with insane cover artwork as well!
This is Razorback's version of the classic "Earache/Grindcrusher-era" days, with VACANT COFFIN bringing to mind a nice blend of the early classics from MORBID ANGEL, NAPALM DEATH, CARCASS, ENTOMBED, TERRORIZER, BOLT THROWER, etc."
