Coaltar Of The Deepers

Here's a band that has grown on me overtime (and yes it's another one from Japan).

COLATAR OF THE DEEPERS (Tokyo,JPN) have been going at it since 1991.While mostly sticking true to their alternative shoegaze sound on their albums,they've also dabbled in other sounds from death metal to techno.Out of all the releases they've had,I decided to pick a greatest hits compilation one...just for a little taste of them.
