The Casket Crew are a band from Denver, Colorado that plays a mixture of doom and thrash metal and this is a review of their 2013 album "Coercion" which was released by Cimmerian Shade Recordings.
The album kicks in with some drums and old school thrash metal guitar and bass riffs before adding in death metal growls and when blast beats are added in they only go into semi mode, as the music progresses doom and thrash metal elements are mixed together as well as screams being added to the music.
As the album moves on it goes into a more 80's style direction as well as adding melody into the music along with melodic vocals that really start evolving into some of the most aggressive growls and screams this kind of music has to offer and when guitar leads are added in they combine classic music in with some epic doom elements which are also added into the rhythm sections.
When you are listening to the album you can hear some musicians that really know their thrash very well and they way they mix it with early 90's doom and death metal brings out a sound that is very old school while bringing original at the same time and one of the main strengths that this recording is all the songs sound very different from each other while remaining true to their musical style.
Song lyrics cover war and politics, while the production has a very strong, powerful, heavy, old school and professional sound where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording.
In my opinion The Casket are a very great sounding mixture of doom, death and thrash metal and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this band and album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "They Live, We Sleep" "Watery Graves" and "New World Chaos". RECOMMENDED BUY.
