Brian Marek's review of The Kastle show on July 16th, 2004:
"Last night we attended the Coil of
Sihn CD release party at the Kastle. Cathartic yet entertaining.
Sihn
Starr screamed from behind a black veil while stripping away the
layers of protection from his heart. Found sounds, movie dialogue, NIN-esque
acoustic piano samples, menacing analog synthesizers. "Three thousand
guitars, they seem to cry, my ears will melt and then my eyes." Brutality
gave way to quiet menace and vice versa.
Sihn Starr's voice has developed
into an awesome instrument of guttural growls, whispered pleas and high
(but virile), blood-curdling screams.
This voice found solace not only in original material, but also three
cover songs - Pat Benatar's "Hell
is for Children", NIN's "Closer"(renamed
to Close(t)) and Kiss' "God
of Thunder". On the latter
two, the lyrics were revised to convey personal relevance; the former
required
no such
alteration."
