Exhumed/Necrocracy/Relapse Records/2013 CD Review


Exhumed  are  a b and  from  San  Jose,  California  that  has  been  featured  before  in  the  zine  with  the  musical  style  this  time  around  being  a  mixture  of  old  school  death  metal  and  gore/grind  and  this  is a  review  of  their  2013  album  "Necrocracy"  which  was  released  by  Relapse  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  a  good  amount  of  blast  beats  being  thrown  into  the  music,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  old  school  death  metal  with gore/grind  to  create  a  sound  of  their   own,  while  the   lead  guitars  are  very  old  school  and  melodic  sounding  death  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads,  as  for  the  acoustic  guitars  when  they  are  utilized  use  finger  picking  and  full  chords  to  bring  a  dark  atmosphere  to  the  album.

  Vocals  range  from  deep  death  metal  growls  to  high  pitched  grindcore  screams,  while  the  lyrics  cover  gore  and  horror  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  still  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Exhumed  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  band,   you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Coins  Upon  The  Eyes"  "The  Rotting"  "Sickened"  and  "Carrion  Call".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
