Ossification of Coral is the third full-length album by Japanese crust punk band Life. It was released in 2020 on Not Enough Records. The album is a 13-track collection of raw, powerful punk songs that deal with themes of anti-nuclear activism, environmentalism, and social justice.
The album was recorded and mixed at Noise Room Recording Studio in Tokyo. The band members are Hiro (guitar/vocals), Kenta (bass), Nori (guitar), Taka (drums), and Abe (vocals).
The album opens with the title track, "Ossification of Coral." The song is a fast-paced, furious attack on the destruction of coral reefs. The lyrics are angry and defiant, and the music is equally powerful.
Other notable tracks on the album include "Endure Everyday," "To Gain Freedom," "Crash Them," and "D.I.A.L." These songs continue the album's themes of social and environmental justice, and they are all delivered with the band's trademark energy and intensity.
Ossification of Coral is a powerful and important album that deserves to be heard by a wider audience. It is a reminder of the power of punk music to speak truth to power and to fight for a better world.
If you are a fan of crust punk, environmentalism, or social justice, then I highly recommend checking out Ossification of Coral. It is an album that will stay with you long after you listen to it.
