“In Dub” sees one of the originators of the New Wave Of British Death Metal collaborate with THE innovator of both grindcore and post-grind electronic music to challenge boundaries and get back to the era of experimentalism which has gone from today's metal scene. This two track EP sees Mick Harris take Coffin Mulch's riffs and growls and turn them inside out, creating a grotesquely caustic electronic assault, still rooted in death metal, but HEAVIER.
“In Dub” sees two of the foremost innovators currently in the UK locking horns and creating the heaviest record of 2025!
Old school meets new school meets old school! Coffin Mulch have been together since 2018 and have released a demo, one mini-album, a 7" single and one full-length album, all to significant critical acclaim. All their records so far have been released entirely DIY on their singer's own At War With False Noise label. CM have toured with Carcass, played Europe's biggest indoor festival (Damnation), and have undertaken two full self-booked UK tours. Coffin Mulch supports equality and diversity in music!
Mick Harris was the drummer and chief songwriter of grindcore pioneers Napalm Death until 1991. He coined the term “grindcore,” popularised the blastbeat and was instrumental in the popularity of death metal in the UK in the early 90s. He left Napalm Death to form Scorn - his primary musical outlet over the next 30 years - becoming fascinated by striving for extremity in the non-metal world. He's also drummed on classic records by Painkiller (with John Zorn and BII Laswell), Defecation, Lull and Quoit.

About
Coffin Mulch was formed in 2018 as there was no death metal scene in Glasgow, nor really in the rest of the UK. The intention was to make old-school death metal influenced by hardcore and punk, like early Death, Autopsy, Entombed and Cianide. After a well-received demo and a couple of live gigs the band went into hibernation during the year of Covid, and emerged with Septic Funeral on At War With False Noise and Redefining Darkness, which quickly sold out on all formats and garnered significant critical praise. Following from this a nascent scene emerged in both Scotland and the UK as a whole, with Coffin Mulch at the head of the New Wave Of British Death Metal.
A 7” single in tribute to LG Petrov was released with all proceeds going to cancer charities, followed in 2023 with the debut full-length album “Spectral Intercession”, which was self-released on frontman Al’s own label At War With False Noise and sold 1300 copies on vinyl in a month and again received universal praise, as well as coverage in Metal Hammer, who wrote a piece on Scottish death metal, and Kerrang, who named Coffin Mulch as one of the 20 hottest bands to look out for in 2024. In 2024 Coffin Mulch were shortlisted in the Scottish Independent Music Awards, making it to the final.
In the past two years, the band were asked by Carcass to play with them on both their Scottish dates, played to several thousand people at Damnation Festival, played at the inaugural Necropolis Festival, Killtown Death Fest and and have toured the UK to mostly sell-out audiences twice.
Coffin Mulch is fiercely independent: releasing their own albums, only printing on sustainably-sourced and ethical materials, and booking their own tours.

“Coffin Mulch shred everything in their path with furious caveman riffs, and punchy as fuck percussion that leaves everything bruised and bloody”.
Everything Is Noise
“If their wild Necropolis performance was anything to judge Coffin Mulch by, these guys are an act to watch for while they’re one of the new guard, their passion is steeped in older, fervent death metal given a fresh coat of paint.”
The Razor’s Edge
“Their message is gory but peaceful; animal rights rather than animal bites – and that makes them all the more interesting. There’s an intelligence beneath the Luddite masquerade that makes them beguiling, memorable and addictive. Once discovered, they stay with you. They have that magic.
As the doom-laden Life Devoured winds down to a close and the lights go up, you are left reeling from a kidney punch; breathless, adrenalised. Above all, exhausted.
There’s also a twinge of hope; could this really be the dawn of something vital and stronger than its component pieces? It would be marvellous to think that, waiting in the wings are a dearth of inspired youths, ready to inflict their gory, foul and rigour-ed fantasies upon us in the future. It’s hard to imagine that Coffin Mulch will be playing in these tiny back rooms for much longer. They’ve cracked the crust of the underground and are dragging themselves up to a new dawn of the dead.
Perversely, I haven’t felt this alive in a long time.”
