Taking inspiration from renowned literary figures such as Samuel Beckett and Douglas Adams and musical icons like Sex Pistols and the Ramones, Coma Beach infuses a unique energy and urgency into its music. However, the band does not merely emulate its influences but instead crafts poetic and provocative lyrics, evoking existentialism and satirical wit to add depth and complexity to their sonic assault.
Coma Beach’s “Extreme Masochist” is a powerful composition that unapologetically addresses the need for self-honesty when confronting one’s inner demons. The song’s lyricism takes the listener on a captivating adventure while showcasing the artist’s artistic prowess through evocative and thought-provoking emotions.
