    Sewers and cemeteries typically end up somewhere in the themes of
    Razorback releases, don't they? Witness VACANT COFFIN, a trio of sewer
    chewing, graveyard lurking Fins that profess a deep love of old school
    death metal on "Sewer Skullpture". Symptoms of IMPETIGO are surely
    present, but this 16-track release owes more to the early Swedish death
    metal legends, as well as occasionally tipping the hat to the likes of
    TERRORIZER.

    As far as wheel reinvention is concerned, you can forget about it. Then
    again, what were you expecting? Razorback's answer to PAIN OF SALVATION?
    I thought so. Featuring guitarist/vocalist Lasse Pyykko from early '90s
    underground dwellers PHLEGETHON and doom terrorists HOODED MENACE, the
    guys in VACANT COFFIN present to you a competent collection of dirt
    nuggets that keeps the mind from wandering and gets the noggin nodding
    in appreciation. It ain't rocket science, but there is a certain skill
    required in pulling off this kind of material in a way that doesn't
    become lost in the mire of imitation. In other words, VACANT COFFIN does
    justice to the beloved style. The band smartly mixes in the right amount
    of groove ("Mutant Gross-Out Fest" takes the cake here) with selective
    use of blast beats and maintains momentum throughout the duration. Just
    the right amount of tempo shifts and a handful of twisted leads (check
    out "Tales of Suppuration") are heard, as are occasional atmospheric
    touches (the horror movie keyboards that introduce "Sewer by the
    Cemetery" and the slow creep of "Razor Justice"), all adding to the
    album's appeal. Finally, a grotesque and massive guitar tone and bass
    buzz are just what the doctor ordered.

    The short of it is that fans of the old school and Razorback devotees
    should be plenty satisfied with "Sewer Skullpture". VACANT COFFIN won't
    be crowned the new kings of death. They just do it right and do it well.
