about

Coral the Merknight previously emerged from the dark and murky depths of the unforgiving seas to give chase to and vanquish the demonic entity known as SEARANTULA, whose nefarious wiles threatened to disrupt and wreak havoc upon our every day life. Coral's perilous battle with this fearsome opponent was documented extensively in his debut album: vs. SEARANTULA (It Weaves a Web of Metal). Following his victory, the inquisitive MerKnight decided to remain in our world and experience its many wonders for himself. Overtime he began to feel immense guilt for not returning to the underwater kingdom he left behind. Unbeknownst to him, these negative emotions drew out and gave strength to a brand new threat lurking and stalking in the shadows. Will Coral continue his streak of heroic victories or has he finally met his match?? Find out on 06/21/2024 when his sophomore album: vs. The Beasts of Burdentown (A Post-Deathrock Opera) is released into the wild.

Coral the MerKnight is joined by Travis Orbin (Darkest Hour) on drums and Cris Hodges (Grey Daze) on vocals. Guest guitar solos on "MINDF!@#%", "for-closure", and "Exsanguinate!" by Nik Nocturnal. Programming on "My Day to Bleed" and "The War Drums Sound (On a Moonlit Clearing)" by Drawn in Isolation

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this. Luke

Whoa. Imagine having slugs coming out of your mouth like that. Slug slime probably has some healing medicinal properties. What would it do if it accumulated in the throat. Hail The Mother. Honor The Mother. Respect The Mother. ♥️💜💝 Michael
