Coffin Dust from Drilladelphia caught the ear of myself and a few friends lately. Apparently the name is a reference to smashing skulls into dust and snorting it. I'm down. The vocals are consistently undecipherable throat pukes through and through, which helps to anchor this nostalgic and catchy thrash firmly in a late 80s/early 90s death metal atmosphere. I couldn't help but be reminded of Intestine Baalism on several occasions, usually due to the pairing of guttural vocals with obvious early Entombed influence, characterized by soaring melodic guitar leads that add depth to otherwise straightforward, catchy, no frills headbangers. Coffin Dust's tounge -in-cheek satanic horror metal vibe is conveyed in a very honest and homegrown way that reflects good taste and love for the craft. I like Ghoul and some of the other "B-Movie death/thrash" bands, but it's hard to pull off without sounding redundant and derivative. Coffin Dust manage to do so sincerely and with individuality. Trust me, you will love having the opening riff from "March of the machete militia" stuck in your head all day. Listen to Coffin Dust and rob graves.

SHUT IT DOWN
Coffin Dust is playing The Acheron in Brooklyn on Thursday 3/29. For those of you not in the loop, I already wrote about this amazing up and coming Thrashy Swedish Death Metal style band and how they remind me of Intestine Baalism when I first started this blog. Here, once more, is the link to said review and FREE download:
Coffin Dust
The Acheron (Brooklyn, NY)
I guess The Acheron doesn't update their show listings often, but the show is listed HERE, so I'm inclined to give it a try.
Thanks to T. Ander for the tip.
