Bio:
Exhumed is an American death metal band from San Jose, California that is currently signed to Relapse Records. The band plays an old school style of death metal influenced by early Carcass and Entombed and is known for its gore-themed lyrics. The band, which has endured a highly unstable line-up since inception, formed in 1990, went on hiatus in 2005, and reformed in 2010, with guitarist/vocalist Matt Harvey being the band's only consistent member.Exhumed formed in 1990, when founding member Matt Harvey was 15 years old. Exhumed spent much of the ensuing decade releasing numerous demos, split CDs, and EPs. Harvey explained that the band were influenced by Carcass, Impetigo, Repulsion and Terrorizer as well as early albums by Entombed. Harvey also discussed his disenchantment over the directions that death metal took in the middle and late 1990s, such as death 'n' roll and technical death metal, led Exhumed to focus on old school death metal:The differences between [Entombed's] Left Hand Path and Wolverine Blues or [Carcass's] Reek of Putrefaction and Swansong are both pretty big. It seemed like nobody was playing the kind of death metal that I was into. I stopped being a current death metal fan in 1993, because it just didn't sound like what I liked. I wanted more stuff like Impetigo, Cadaver, those types of bands...by the time [Gore Metal] came out, it was already a retro sound, even in 1998, because when you looked at bands that were around at the time, like Nile and Dying Fetus, the direction the genre was going in was a lot more technical. We always weren't [sic] into doing that. It's great that they could push the boundaries but it just didn't interest me, personally. So, we just played old-fashioned death metal.The band recorded their debut album Gore Metal in 1998. The album blended death metal and grindcore and had an impact on later bands who played the same type of music.Harvey said that Gore Metal was the album where Exhumed developed its vision, although he conceded that "we were still very loose and sloppy and didn't really have a handle on recording at all. Listening back to that record, I like most of the songs, but the production is awful sounding."Harvey said the band recorded several songs for the album that were lost when producer James Murphy, then suffering from brain cancer and acting "erratically", was evicted from his studio in Oakland.
Album:
Who the Hell left graves opened in the cemetery of San Jose, California (USA)? Yes, because the Death Metal/Grindcore god zombies of EXHUMED are back again, spreading their gospel of blood, bowels, and guts to make every Metal fan to puke out their stomachs with their new and infamous album, “Death Revenge”.As every Death Metal fan knows (or must know), the quartet has been around since the beginning of the 90s, making a nasty, dirty and disgusting mix of Death Metal sound with brutal Grindcore fast tempos and snarls. Of course, their musical work evolved a lot since then, but always keeping their traditional musical style, the mix between harsh screamed voices with low tuned guttural grunts, the nasty and assassin guitar riffs and jigsaw solos, and a fast and technical work from bass guitar and drums. On “Death Revenge”, these grave robbers are still as nasty and brutal as always, but a more defined sound that we are used, what grant their work with an aggressive and bloody energy that will make your bones tremble!Jarrett Pritchard (who previously worked with GOATWHORE, 1349 and others) worked as producer for this brutal puke of energy. He made the difference, because even with the nasty and dirty sound of the band, the sonority of “Death Revenge” is excellent, respecting the musical aspects of EXHUMED’s musical personality, but granting the album’s quality a balance between the aggressiveness and clarity the everyone needs to understand the quartet. And the cover created by Orion Landau catches the spirit of old magazines as “Tales from the Crypt”, one of the greatest inspirations of the band’s lyrical work.And be prepared, because the surgery with no anesthesia is about to begin!The mix between fast tempos and slower ones of “Defenders of the Grave” and its brutal insight with nasty voices, the explosion of intestines and putrid guts shown on the violent guitar riffs of “Lifeless” (what fine contrast between fast moments with slow parts), the unexpected melodies on the guitar solos of “Dead End”, the excellent and hooking riffs and vocals of “Night Work” (that is showing a very good technical work on guitars), the clear Grindcore influence shown on “Unspeakable”, the excellent instrumental song “The Anatomy Act of 1832” (where all of them show their excellent technique on the instruments), the hooking energy of “Incarnadined Hands”, and the massacre of nasty vocals and brutal rhythmic session shown on “Death Revenge”. But there are two bonus tracks: “Death Revenge Underture” (an outro, to complete the intro of the album), and the extremely brutal version for EXODUS’ classical song, “A Lesson in Violence” (this violent insight is a true homage to the creators of Thrash Metal, indeed).So, let the grave robbers do their work, and listen to “Death Revenge” at any cost and be prepared to puke out your livers!
