UMUR
"When All Became None" is the debut full-length studio album by US doom metal act Coffinworm. The album was released through Profound Lore in April 2010. Coffinworm was formed in Indianapolis, Indiana in 2007 and released the "Great Bringer of Night" demo in 2009 before recording and releasing "When All Became None".

The music on "When All Became None" is raw and filthy blackened doom metal. The vocals are extremely aggressive, raw, and raspy. Caustic to say the least. The occassional death growl also sneaks into the soundscape but they are few and far between. There are 6 tracks on the 43:15 minutes long album and most of the time the tracks are crushingly heavy and doomy. Coffinworm are however not ignorant to variation and they fasten the pace more than one time during the album´s playing time. Sometimes with a filthy driving punked groove that´s quite irresistable to these ears. The atmosphere on the album is dark, intense, and mean which is further emphasised by songtitles like "Start Saving for Your Funeral", "High on the Reek of Your Burning Remains", and "Strip Nude for Your Killer". These guys are pissed off and they´ve made an album that reeks anger and misanthropy to make sure you get the point.

"When All Became None" is produced by the omnipresent Sanford Parker (Minsk, Nachtmystium...etc.) and he has created a perfect raw, near-feedback limit, and filthy sounding production to suit Coffinworm´s music. Upon conclusion "When All Became None" is a very convincing blackened doom metal album featuring excellent musicianship, near perfect sound production, and well written and powerful material. Don´t pass this one by if you enjoy blackened doom metal with a caustic attitude. A 4 - 4.5 star (85%) rating is deserved.
