The second album by Mammatus, on Holy Mountain Records. In the late summer of 2006 Mammatus returned from a very exciting US tour with our ultimate bros and label mates Residual Echoes. Eager to return to the ocean with which we share a spiritual kinship, we spent the remaining months of summer boogie boarding and finding secret spots along the coast to sit and think in. With the overwhelming majesty of the sea fresh in our minds, Mammatus began slowly tracking another album in our home studio, the Silent Planet. Wishing to explore more complex, dare we say progressive arrangements; the four songs that came out of these sessions left four minds almost completely drained yet excited and fresh. We emerged with The Coast Explodes, an homage to God’s mighty ocean, ripe with thick swirling riffs, up-tempo sonic freakouts, harmonious soundscapes and even an acoustic guitar and flute campfire jam. Lyrically, Mammatus continue to explore the ongoing battle between light and darkness, and we continue the battle saga that began in our first album with Dragon of the Deep Part Three. With The Coast Explodes, the overall feeling and message we four dudes wish to convey is that we love the earth, we love to rock, we feel it to our core, and most of all we want each and every person that hears our music to feel it as well.
