MP3: Coalesce, “Absent In Death”

Coalesce not only released the amazing OX earlier this year, they planned the followup OXEP as a continuation of the full-length’s brutal roar.

In other words, these aren’t b-sides or leftovers that were released yesterday. This is an honest-to-goodness new release. As the band puts it:

These songs are not cuts that didn’t make ox. We wrote and recorded these songs specifically for an ep release after ox was already done and delivered to Relapse for production. We continued our americana theme and expanded them on these songs, therefore wanted them to be considered part of the 2009 ox sessions.

OXEP came out yesterday on Relapse.
