German kings of hardcore, noise rock Coma Beach are a band that never shies away from shock, chaos, pain, rage, or isolation. They thrive in them as a matter of fact, going as far as calling them cornerstones of their music. And Jesus’ Tears is a prime example of this.
Based in Würzburg, Germany, Jesus’ Tears is the 7th cut-off of Coma Beach’s full-length release, The Scapegoat’s Agony, and it is a clear example of what the band is all about. The most unforgettable thing about Jesus’ Tears is maybe the vocals, growly and gritty, courtesy of Coma Beach frontman B. Kafka. The drums are immediately catchy and organic. Hard-hitting, and fast-paced, they provide a solid, pounding backbeat to the scratchy and characterful rhythm guitars from Captain A. Fear.
The intensely modulated lead guitar performance from M. Blunt features an iconic sound to the genre with its extreme flagging effect. High on treble, and low on everything else, they highlight The Scapegoat’s Agony distinctive sonic character with ease.
Jesus’ Tears is an intense piece of rock music with traumatizing topics to its core and lyrics. The music is just as polarizing and challenging, but if you have it in you to enjoy noise rock, then Coma Beach will be right down your alley.
