To try to affix a genre label to Boston’s Coffin Salesman is to try to affix the squarest of pegs to the roundest of holes. The brainchild of Aria Rad, the current iteration of the macabre art-punk collective is a five-piece that I guess can be best described as like “what if Swordfishtrombones-era Tom Waits was part of Reinventing Axl Rose era Against Me!” There have been a handful of singles/EPs/splits over the last few years, but they’ve now announced their first full-length since 2018’s Nicrophorus Americanus. It’s called Dream Of Fire, and as of today, vinyl and digital pre-orders are available!
