Official press release:
After twelve years of seeking, German death metal hellraisers Endseeker have finally found the end. The fiery Coffin Born EP, set for release on June 19th via Metal Blade Records, will mark the final chapter as a band. The band reflects, in a celebratory mood:
“We’ve accomplished more than we have ever imagined in our wildest dreams. We played with fantastic bands, played super-cool festivals, and released four albums and two EPs of which we are extremely proud. We were blessed with great and loyal fans and managed to stay a consistent lineup throughout our whole career. But after grinding for more than a decade and dedicating so much time and energy to this band, we feel like it’s time to move on to other projects. We wanted to end this band like we started – as very good friends. We started with an EP and we end it with an EP. It just feels right to do this now, while we still have the power to deliver a great farewell performance as well in the studio as on stage.”
Since their 2015 debut EP Corrosive Revelation, each release has hoisted the Hamburg quintet further up the death metal mountain, with Mount Carcass (2021) and Global Worming (2023) receiving widespread acclaim. Their soft spot for novelty cheese recurs on Coffin Born in a glorious David Hasselhoff cover, “True Survivor”.
In advance of the record’s release, today Endseeker presents the EP’s opening track and first single, “Enemies Of Peace”. The band comments:
“This is a straight banger with some hardcore and crust vibes. This song grooves like hell and has a very raw and kinda punk attitude. Not only the anti-fascist lyrics, but also musically. It’s very powerful by any means with a strong and bold message.”
Produced by the band with drums engineered by Eike Freese, Coffin Born stands as Endseeker’s swan song, shaped by the intense bond of a lineup that remained together throughout their whole career.
Coffin Born will be released on digipak CD (w/ 12-page booklet) and digital formats as well as vinyl in the following color variants:
- 180g Black (EU)
- Silver Black Merged (EU – Ltd. 250)
- “Royalty Metallic” Vintage Gold Marble (EU – Ltd. 250)
