Coma Beach-A Madman’s Dream/A Mind Descending
Coma Beach is back, and with them the wild rattle that is hard rock. This indie band has been able to define hard rock from their own neck of the woods. Not only is their style inspired, but aims to inspire with their own unique twist. Here is their EP, where they stretch out their legs with the signature flavour they bring. It has all the heat and sweet to it. This one is called A Madman’s Dream/A Mind Descending. From the opening, you know you’re going to get unadulterated Coma Beach. The song hits the flow from the second, the voice reaching to the back of your head. You can hear that Killing Joke Raven’s scream and rage along with the instruments ready for wrecking. A Madman’s Dream are verses that will resonate with the troubled parts of your brain. The bass is thick, lays down the rhythm with the muddy guitar two change chord. If there is a punk rock essence, it is with the tempo they set forward. Leading into Mind Descending, you must understand how it unravels. We are in the same mind, the madman unravelling faster than a knitted sweater. Hence, the fitting theme is the chaotic, unmatched pace at which the vocals and instrumentals go. It is complete, agitated and exactly how a song about a topic like this should be. The gritty vernacular of the songs expedite the rage and essence in a sharp and incisive way. If you have heard their singles like Absurd, the previous songs might be a shock to you. Coma Beach taps into a more emotional, melancholy subspace for rent. As hard hitting as it is, the slower tempo embeds itself in your being. Voice wise, it stirs up thoughts in your head, the same way as the protagonist. It is a vivid retelling, and well put together by the band that is as versatile as them. In the EP, they continue the pace of giving us slow singles like I Won’t Listen. It is a rewarding number, the simple progression acting as a canvas for the lyrics. Coma Beach have progressed into making odes to many of the bands they have admired over the years, with great intent. It is exciting to see them grow, to nourish their art as a unique piece of history. The familiar attack hits you with their songs Jesus’ Tears. Well put together, capturing all the angst of generations without skipping a beat. This band’s music would be great in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998), one of Guy Ritchie’s best. Listen to the songs above and give the band some love on their socials as well! This is full conversion into a madman!
