Formed in 2009, ENCOFFINATION is the sepulchral embodiment of rancid death; crushing, suffocating death metal doom of the lowest caliber. Named for the ritual preparation of the dead for burial, ENCOFFINATION exists below the plane of mortality; deep within the realms of death and decay. Slowly they lurch forth with their educated form of blasphemy, occult, and ritualistic expulsion of the holy from the earth. The first full length from this Georgia/Texas-based duo, the eight-song Ritual Ascension Beyond Flesh thunders with over thirty minutes of cryptic metal influenced by early ‘90s American doom/death and bands like Incantation, Disembowelment, and Morpheus Descends. Black vinyl with gatefold packaging, limited to 400 copies worldwide. [Selfmadegod]
