EXHUMED - Red Asphalt
Relapse Records
Alright in my not so humble opinion I say Gore Metal from 1998 and Slaughtercult from 2000 are the best EXUMED full length releases period end of story. They were fuckin Gore Grind and America's version of CARCASS. With that said I still have picked up all of their full lengths and a cool as fuck three CD compilation of their pre - full length material.
Let me add next is that All Guts, No Glory from 2011 and Necrocracy from 2013 fall into my category of being damm good. Which means all of their other releases are OK to say the least. So I was looking forward to this new EXUMED album and shocker it's a concept album. Red Asphalt is all about death and destruction on the highways.
Actually that's a cool concept from a band who's all about death, gore, pain and tragedy. Musically Matt Harvey and company deliver a good sounding Death Metal album. There's some old days' grind within and Death Thrash to boot. I think the song structures are killer. Matt Harvey is still influenced by CARCASS this time with the more melodic Heartwork era,
Early in this review I named my four favorite EXUMED albums. This new one falls in at number five. Nuff Said!
