The Coffinshakers are a Swedish country/gothabilly band known for their distinctive concoction of classic American country music fused with horror punk and gothic rock. They emerged in the mid-1990s as a unique voice within the underground music scene, and are often characterized by their macabre lyrics and dark, haunting melodies. The band's visual and musical style pays homage to the classic horror aesthetics of the 1950s and 1960s, dripping with references to vampires, werewolves, and the occult. The deep, sonorous voice of lead vocalist Rob Coffinshaker provides a chilling yet mesmerizing narrative throughout their music, adding to the group's alluringly eerie persona.

Throughout their career, The Coffinshakers have carved out a niche following amongst fans of rockabilly and horror punk genres. With releases such as "Graves, Release Your Dead" and "Reverends of Doom," the band has demonstrated a commitment to their roots while crafting a sound that is uniquely their own. Albums like "Prince of Darkness" and "Dark Wings Over the World" show a maturation of their sound, exploring different facets of their musical influences while still staying true to their gothic storytelling. Their self-titled release "The Coffinshakers" epitomizes the band's ability to bridge the gap between gothic theatrics and heartfelt songwriting, ensuring their position as beloved cult favorites amongst their fans.
