Cofffins Unearthed for West Coast US Tour

Japan’s COFFINS is finally making it back to the US after last year’s successful East Coast tour. This time they will bring the doom/death to the American West Coast. Going along for the ride are their Oakland label mates STORMCROW. The tour will start in Seattle on April 30 and culminate with both bands appearing at the infamous Los Angeles Murderfest alongside such bands as SAMOTHRACE, EYEHATEGOD, DESPISE YOU, GENERAL SURGERY, 16, ABSCESS, GHOUL and many others.

Coffins released their third LP, Buried Death, in 2008 to much critical acclaim in the metal world. A split release with STORMCROW will come later in 2009, followed by their fourth LP to be released on 20 Buck Spin in 2010. STORMCROW has a vinyl only split release, Sacred Death, with 20 Buck Spin label mates LAUDANUM coming out on 20 Buck Spin in April.
