Description
3rd full length from Tokyo’s amazing crasher crusties LiFE. 13 tracks of their classic UK crust inspired raw noise. From crushing to catchy, sprawling and metallic to fast and aggressive. This is LiFE at their best.
As always anti nuke, peace crusties offering hope and a message to respect and save the natural world.
During this time of uprising in the US and around the globe Desolate will be donating $1 from each record sold to an organization of the bands choice.
Our take: Ossification of Coral is the third full-length by this long-running hardcore band from Tokyo, Japan. Life started releasing music way back in the early 90s, and they retain a lot of that 90s Japan sound even today. Ossification of Corals huge production is one link to the bigger bands of late 80s and 90s Japan (Lip Cream, Death Side, Nightmare, etc.), but so is the diversity of their sound. This record has straight up, Bastard-style rippers like Endure Everyday and To Gain Freedom, the epic, Death Side-esque title track, and even some grooved-out parts I was always wary of those in the past, but they sound great here. Maybe its just me, but it seems like this 90s / Burning Spirits-influenced style isnt as popular as it used to be. However, listening to Ossification of Coral reminds me how powerful this style is in the hands of a great band.
