Finland’s own NAILED COIL strike back with their second demo effort Embodiment Of Unconsciousness. Heavy stuff the guys manufacture here, whereas the whole shebang sounds quite inhomogeneous, impressing more with a darksome atmosphere and yucky riffs than tight arrangements and coherent song structures.
Also in stylistic aspects it seems members still disagree. While the beginning (and hidden outro) of Embodiment Of Unconsciousness appears as a blend of crazy doomcore with some thrashy riffs and industrial dashes, the guys start to thrash in an old VoiVod-style on fourth track Bloodred Dream Falls, ending up significantly influenced by Fear Factory on last shot Irreplaceable Soul. Additionally the gents seem to have a soft-spot for Meshuggah-like breaks but not really able to set them well, while at least Death Signs is a nerving blackout. The rest of the songs is ok, but need to be polished.
