The Demo 1991-1992 Collection from Finland’s COPROPHILIA on CD and vinyl LP formats. By now, Finland’s distinctive stamp on the worldwide death metal movement, particularly at the dawn of the 1990s, is well known by now. Such names as Xysma, Adramalech, Demilich, Funebre, Demigod, Abhorrence, Disgrace, and Lubricant became cult names in scene for marrying heinous amounts of filth with an oft-shocking amount of catchiness or at least weirdness…and indeed, Finnish death metal, even when it aimed long ago for more „normal” scene parameters, was still weird and wild no matter the intention.
The same can be said for Finland’s sadly short-lived COPROPHILIA. Naturally, with a moniker like that, it was not unexpected that their grinding death metal contained a massive amount of filth – but root around in that filth (or feces, as it were) and one will find a surprising slew of unconventional invention: namely, twisting ‘n’ turning songwriting that nevertheless held a strangely catchy quality. More than that, while COPROPHILIA could grind with the best of them, they were especially adept at a more downtempo gait, stomping and slamming with an authority that belied their high-schooled age and thereby making their already swirling ruminations that much more psychedelic.
The band officially released a demo in 1991, bearing a strong whiff of Xysma (who’d release their classic Yeah debut album that same year) but with a decidedly more underground air; equally fetid were the sewer-draining vocals of Marko Tyni. COPROPHILIA would record another demo during the summer of 1992, which sadly would only be posthumously released, but more or less signaled the band’s end. COPROPHILIA’s roots lay in the preceding punk band Aivottomat („Brainlesses”). After a few punk years, the music quickly changed its shape in the direction of grindcore and death metal.
Influential bands were Napalm Death, Carcass, and all the other death metal bands of the time. These influences can be heard on the band’s first demo in 1989. That demo was still made under the name Aivottomat. The musical change caused a name change to Klaustrofobia in the beginning. Eventually, only COPROPHILIA was good enough for the boys to describe the band’s music.
The band ceased to exist in 1993. In 2007, the band reunited without Kuopila and recorded four more EPs under the name of the punk band Aivottomat. But now, at long last, is the entirety of COPROPHILIA’s criminally short recorded oeuvre available in one place under the make-no-mistake title The Demo Collection and, for the first time ever, on vinyl. Dive into quintessentially Finnish sewers once again, or for the first time!
