Bio:
Exhumed was formed in 1991 by Matt Harvey and Col Jones. Throughout the ensuing years, the band morphed line-ups while continuing to hone their own brand of grinding Death Metal, influenced initially by Napalm Death, Repulsion, Carcass, Carnage, Terrorizer, Impetigo, Death, Autopsy, Master, Pestilence, and other late ‘80s / early ‘90s underground favorites. By 1994, Exhumed had begun incorporating influences from Thrash and Crossover into their songs and the “Gore Metal” sound began to take shape. In 1996 the band's portion of the “In The Name Of Gore” split disc with Hemdale was recorded, which led to a European tour and a deal with Relapse the following year.After recruiting guitarist / vocalist Mike Beams in early 1998 the band released the genre (re)defining “Gore Metal” album and divided Metal fans and press into love / hate camps. The departure of longtime bassist vocalist Ross Sewage after the album’s release opened the slot to Bud Burke, cementing the “classic” Exhumed line-up. The following year the band embarked on their first US tour. 2000’s “Slaughtercult” follow-up upped the ante in sheer aggression and production values, and led to further touring, this time including Europe, Japan, Canada, and Mexico in addition to multiple trips across the US. “Anatomy Is Destiny”, the band’s third album, showcased further musical development of Exhumed’s blood soaked paradigm, both instrumentally and production-wise. After founding member Col Jones and Bud Burke left the band, Exhumed embarked on a rigorous touring schedule that included multiple US and European treks in addition to Canada, Japan, Australia and Iceland. A revamped line-up came together in 2005 to record and album’s worth of cover material titled “Garbage Daze Re-Regurgitated” but disbanded after a US tour that year. A DVD that was in production at the time was also stalled. Since then, the band has been on an indefinite hiatus, with the members pursuing other projects.
Album:
Absolutely grueling material! I love the vocal trade-offs, too. The music is absolutely amazing. The guitars and vocals are the pinnacle of this album release. I'm surprised that it didn't get more reviews. 5 seems sketchy, hopefully this will bring it even more justice. These guys really tear it up in the riff department. Leads as well. Absolutely everything fit on this release. The music, vocals, production and drums. They did themselves a favor and laid out some unrelenting death metal. It's definitely better than the release that I own. Now, I want to own this one.But anyway, they really change it up all the time.Tempos all over the place, but appropriately. Both the screaming and low bellow vocals make it more versatile. The music and the vocals are in the same time and flow really well. They're masterminds working on here. I hope for more albums to come. But yeah, we can enjoy them for now especially with releases like this. I liked it right away. The music was the first thing that blew me away! The vocals are tolerable, too! But the fact that they could do it all with this release is fantastic. No Exhumed record that I liked than this one. It has me hooked, totally! There wasn't a dull moment on the songs.Each track is about 3-4 minutes in length. It's enough, though I hoped that the release was longer. There are bonus tracks but the main release is where it's at. Most of the tracks you have screaming and some pretty bad-ass riffing alongside the vocals. The guitars rip the rhythms are doing a lot of tremolo picking as well as some technical leads. The trade-offs on the leads are phenomenal. There is some blast beating here, but a lot of the music is melodic so they're versatile here. The songs are in your face brutality. They are just flat out heavy and brutal. But the music is varying as well.If you don't own this, check it out on Spotify or YouTube. It's hard to name one track since all of them (to me) are phenomenal. And yeah, melodic guitar too. Melodic leads as well. It isn't all the time brutal, but most of the time, it is. I'd say if you're a lover of death metal or the guitar or both this would fit your protocol. Nothing on here misses, it's a glory of sheer brutal death metal. No matter what track you listen to here, they're all good so take that into account. The whole album is about 40 minutes long. And yeah, it is worth getting to support the scene and the band. Exhumed is some killer death metal and this is my favorite of theirs by far! OWN IT!!
