“…they’re not fucking around.” – MetalSucks
Maggot Stomp will release Dreams Of The Disturbed, the second LP from Portland death dealers COFFIN ROT, this Friday, and MetalSucks is hosting an exclusive stream of the entire putrid album now.
On Dreams Of The Disturbed, COFFIN ROT delivers an album that builds on the elements of death established in the band’s previous works but has diverged into something far darker, far more sinister, and much heavier. Pulling influences from the technical guitar prowess of Vile-era Cannibal Corpse as well as mixing elements of the more chaotic dissonant and blackened chord structures of Dead Congregation and aspects of Death’s melodicism and guitar virtuoso, the band can continue to proudly showcase that while wearing their influences on their sleeves, it’s the ability to take these influences and craft songs that will plague your mind with visions of the perverse and deranged, leaving you hungry for more.
Dreams Of The Disturbed was recorded at The Underworld Studio with Charlie Koryn (Ascended Dead, Decrepisy), mixed and Mastered at Subterranean Watchtower Studios with Damien Herring (Horrendous), and completed with cover art by Wyrmwalk.
With the album just days from release, vocalist Hayden Johnson states, “Today we are proud to present to you what we consider to be our strongest collection of songs to date. When we first began writing this record back in 2022, we knew that we wanted to present something new for the fans that carried where we had left off with A Monument To The Dead but also treaded new territory for the band’s sound and expanded on our growth and talents as individuals musicians and songwriters. It took us five years between records, but I think what we have here is our most brutal, technical, and cohesive piece of work to date. This album reflects our love for the old school legacy acts we worship but also showcases our admiration for the new school sounds of the current scene and provides a balanced blend of both eras of death metal.”
MetalSucks writes, “As metal fans, we’re all pretty spoiled these days. There are so many killer bands out there carving out their place in the world. One such band that pretty much everyone needs to pay attention to is the mighty COFFIN ROT, whose sophomore full-length album Dreams Of The Disturbed will be unleashed upon the unsuspecting masses this Friday… as you’ll hear in tracks like ‘Lurking In The Cemetery’ and ‘Living Cremation,’ they’re not fucking around.”

Formed in 2017 by brothers Hayden and Derek Johnson – vocals and drums, respectively – alongside guitarist Tre Wilz, COFFIN ROT quickly recorded and released their first demo, following it a year later with another, as well as a split with Chicago death dealers, Molder. In 2019, with the addition of bassist Brandon Martinez-Woodall, the band quickly set out to record their full-length debut, A Monument To The Dead, The album was co-released by Rotted Life Records (USA) and Blood Harvest (EU) and was met with critical acclaim in the underground. The album was an instant classic; a trend-free synthesis of various eternal strains of death metal, fusing Grave’s proud and powerful surge, Cianide’s sewer-drenched doom-death, the blackened passages of Immolation’s early works, and a host of other equally stout influences. However, it’s the way COFFIN ROT was able to rearrange these parameters into something horrific that made the album immediately memorable.
Moving into the age of the pandemic, COFFIN ROT began a new era under the Maggot Stomp banner, joining the ranks of Frozen Soul, Sanguisugabogg, Tribal Gaze, and others. Following the release of their first single on 7″ format – “Reduced To Visceral Sludge” b/w a cover of Sepultura’s “Troops Of Doom” – the band began working on their second LP with the addition of fifth member and second guitarist Jonathan Quintana (Decrepisy, Thanamagus, Ascended Dead).
