Coffin Syrup is a Death Metal band from Charleston, South Carolina founded in 2003.
Coffin Syrup executes a wide range of guttural and death metal vocals in their songs, along with devastating drums, and brutal guitar attack. Influenced by almost every corner of the metal genre, they incorporate elements of many styles of metal into their songs. Death Metal, Black Metal, Grind, Slam and Blast, Technical, Progressive, and Brutal Death Metal elements are all present in their songs among many other styles. Their skilled musicianship, expert vocals, and superior songwriting abilities have won them a rabid and dedicated fan base. Their crushing stage presence has made them infamous for stirring up vicious mosh-pits during live performances, sometimes resulting in varying degrees of personal injury.
Lineup:
Coffin Syrup's current lineup is a solid alliance of dedicated and highly capable musicians consisting of founding member Rob Emery "816 60R3" on main vokillz and 8 string guitar, Russ Lawings "Splinter" on Drums, Justin Sturdivant "Merle Bomber" on vokillz and 7 string guitar, and Travis "Boiler" Boyle on 5 string bass.
History :
Coffin Syrup released a debut demo, "Assplosion" in 2003, and a rare full length album, "Putting the Gore Back in Gourmet" in 2005. Afterwards the band underwent its first major lineup changes with the addition of Russ Lawings on Drums, and the loss of lead guitarist and founding member "Eviscerus" on lead guitars and supporting vocals. The band persevered until late 2010 as a three piece with Rob Emery on vokillz and guitars, Russ Lawings on drums, and Greg Crawford "Chainsaw" on bass. In 2008 they recorded and released their most popular album to date, the "Caprarachnid" EP, in The Torture Kitchen Studio with Antifoniq Records founder, Dwayne "The Reign of Pain" Greenhill. In April 2009 they toured Europe with Requim, Nordor, Warpath, & Abortification in support of Lividity on their "Fisting Europe" tour. In December of 2010 Justin Sturdivant was recruited on lead guitar and supporting vokillz. Recently, Travis Boyle picked up the bass guitar slot. Coffin Syrup is currently recording material for their upcoming full length "The Unique Magic of Rigor Mortis" to be released in the summer of 2012. In November they have a spot on the "Hammer of Gore European Tour 2012" with Bloodsoaked, Sacrificial Slaughter, Gorgy, and Mangled Atrocity.
