When we last devoted attention in our pages to the works of Coffin Rot from Portland, Oregon, the occasion was the impending release of their split with Molder in 2018. Much has happened to the band since then, including the release of their 2019 debut album, A Monument to the Dead, and the expansion of their lineup from founders Hayden Johnson (vocals) and Derek Johnson (drums) and guitarist/bassist Tre Guertner to also include bassist Brandon Martinez-Woodall and second guitarist Jonathan Quintana (from Decrepisy, Thanamagus, and Ascended Dead).

Now, this quintet has prepared a second album. Fittingly entitled Dreams of the Disturbed, it’s set for release by Maggot Stomp on September 20th. As you’ll discover, it’s not just the lineup that has changed since 2018, but the array of ingredients Coffin Rot have brought into their sound, and the array of skin-crawling moods they’ve thereby created on this new full-length.

On November 9th the new Maryland-based label Rotted Life Records will release a split by two death metal bands, both of whom are coming off of strong starts and hit it hard on this new joint release. Coffin Rot from Portland, Oregon, are returning after a self-titled demo released by the same label in April of this year, and Chicago-based Molder are following up on their Act of Revenge EP released this past February.

Both bands have recorded three tracks for the split, each of them performing two original songs and a cover. Here, we’re going to feature previously released original songs by each band AND we’re premiering each band’s cover track, with Coffin Rot putting their spin on “Hung, Drawn and Quartered” by Cancer, and Molder tearing through “Repulsive Death” by Morgue.
