Coherent Liquid Form – S/T
Here we have a debut MCD from 2001 featuring three studio tracks and one live track. I am not familiar with this band at all so I have no idea if they have done anything more recent, but I’m sure they have. They start things off with a sample of the deranged drill instructor from Full Metal Jacket, a classic in my eyes. Coherent Liquid Form shows some promise here by using a backbone of melodic death and branching off from it with some more experimental (for melodic death metal) elements in places. The vocals are a moist, raspy scream that remain a bit too consistent throughout these tracks. They are fine for the regular music, but when they break off into stranger parts I think the vocals should also change a bit to cater to the experimentation. You will need to turn up the volume a bit for the live track, which doesn’t really sound live, just low. I’d be somewhat curious to hear newer material from these guys. This MCD is available from the address below for $5.00 postage paid. – Lance Rogers
