Coma Beach’s Jesus’ tears: an exploration of literature-inspired alt-rock.

Arising from Germany, Coma Beach creates literal art of punk rock with layers of alt-rock drums, matching the deep guitar strum. The artist has noticeably gained a unique influence from the literary works of great ancient writers’ plays and dramas, including Samuel Beckett, Douglas Adam, William Shakespeare and Arthur Schopenhaeur, adding life to them in a rather bold way. ‘Jesus’ Tears’ is the seventh track of the artist’s album ‘The Scapegoat’s Agony’, with music just as hauntingly beautiful as the title of the album.

“Coma Beach’s music sounds like drunk-dancing and headbangs with ghosts in a graveyard.”

‘Jesus’ Tears’ is merely a sonic portrayal of the unnamed antihero’s agonizing voyage of madness and experience of a crucifixion, inscribed in Samuel Beckett’s incredible play ‘Waiting for Godot’. The track begins with a throaty combination of electric guitar, growing into a pure punk rock piece with heavy drums and half-aggressive vocals firmly delivering the meaning behind the revenge-driven lyrics onto whom the antihero blames for his pain and suffering. The track has a rage-like aura with enough punky bars for making it a headbanger, and just with the perfect, tiniest amount of French-British-y lyricism to make it fit for complementing the impeccable play.

The track is certainly an attraction for punk rock fans who also enjoy literature and its wonders. It fires you up like an injured king ready to battle, putting every single thing on the line.
