EXHUMED – ANATOMY IS DESTINY (RELAPSE RECORDS)
Like fellow gore-hounds Impaled before them, no matter how hard Exhumed try they will never escape the Carcass comparisons. It’s not really a bad thing, though I am loath to enjoy any band who willfully plagiarizes, for apart from the aforementioned Impaled there really aren’t that many bands in the extreme Metal scene that are playing anything like Exhumed.
And play well they do; AID is a sheering, musical assault on your senses, dual vocals, riffs all over the place, pounding drum rolls, all captured gorgeously (grotesquely?) by Neil Kernon – a busy man in 2003. ‘In the Name of Gore’, ‘Consuming Impulse’, ‘The Matter of Splatter’, you won’t believe that Gore Metal (or whatever it’s calling itself this year) could sound so good. Apparently Kernon was concerned that the sound on AID was ‘too clean’, but the band wanted it as clean as he could give them, and in my opinion Exhumed’s face-shredding battery sounds all the better for it.
Highly recommended.
