Cohol: 2004
07/09/04 || Lord K Philipson
When I was in Japan playing with Dark Funeral earlier this year, I met this guy who I talked a bit to. For some reason he sent me this demo some 6 months later. Nope, he’s not even in the band, but I guess they are friends of his or something.
Only 2 tracks and an intro to dissect, I don’t know how much I can do with that but we’ll give it a shot.
Music from Japan isn’t exactly something that usually makes me wanna blow myself. Not many things do when I think about it… But besides that… Cohol can easily be the best shit I ever heard coming from that part of the world. The sound is unfortunately pretty fucken cock, but I can still hear everything, which makes it kind of easier for me as a reviewer. I have no info whatsoever on these guys except that I was told they are a killer live-band. I wouldn’t fucken know.
What Cohol plays isn’t the easiest to categorize, but it’s damn fucken good. I can only imagine this with a killer-production and preferebly another vocalist. He’s a bit too screamy for my liking…. There’s a lot of stuff thrown in here, but it’s all metal in the end. Pretty brutal as well as very wellplayed. Some parts reminds me alot of Swedish Opeth, only not as sophisticated. We get some black metal-ish influences as well, and that doesn’t hurt a bit. These Kamikaze-pilots really seem to know their shit and these 2 songs leaves me wanting alot more. I say “2 songs” coz I don’t count the intro-thing. Alot of stuff happens within tracks as they are over 6 minutes, both of them, and it never gets boring. They have the catchy riffs together to say the least.
I want a full-length with these guys. But as mentioned, with a good production and a better singer.
Really close to 8 sushis’ out of 10.
