Church of Misery - The Second Coming

This is what you get after some delay: a kick-ass album by Japanese band Church of Misery. The Second Coming, which is waaaay superior to their first release imho, contains seven fuzzy, raw and heavy-as-hell songs about serial killers. Yeah. Mass murderers, notorious rapists and co. are the Church of Misery guys' obsession. As in every stoner/doom outfit, there's a healthy amount of Black Sabbath, but in a faster and dirtier way.
Damn, what's up with Japanese bands and stoner/doom metal? Seems like the southern gods of America moved to the east. Boris, Solar Anus, Church of Misery - all great stuff and as doom as it gets.
