» 4 out of 5 Evil Faces
Okay ladies and gentlemen. It is once again time for another review. This time we are going to head east, to the far east in fact as this is a band from the other side of the Earth. (for me anyway)
Japanese doom metal masters Coffins are back with their slow, sludgy style of doom/death metal.
The Other Side Of Blasphemy has definite similarities with Celtic Frost and Winter, but is also unique in it’s own special way. The riffs are slightly repetitive and go slower then molasses but there are some up tempo parts that combine to make The Other Side Of Blasphemy a must have CD for any fan of doom metal.

So I got a request to review this CD and even received a free copy in the mail for doing so.
It turns out to be a split CD featuring the bands Children of Nar and SARS the Attack. These 2 bands feature the same guitarist but are far different from one another.
Children Of Nar
They seem to be poking fun at melodic black metal. They have alot of dark anthemic vocals and melody anyway, well sorta. It reminds me a bit of Absu’s vocal style with a comic twist of course. 
SARS the Attack
SARS… on the other hand is more of an industrial death grind sorta band. They are not melodic whatsoever. There is a rhythm but beyond that just pure anger.
