Exhumed
Horror
(Relapse Records)
4/5
Exhumed, the death-grind legends from San Jose, California, are back with their seventh full-length studio album, Horror. Horror will satisfy the cravings of fans of brutal music.
Horror contains 15 tracks, each as scary as the album title. Each song depicts scenes coming out of a slasher horror movie, with titles such as “Scream Out in Fright,” “Utter Mutilation of Your Corpse,” “Ripping Death,” and “Naked, Screaming, and Covered in Blood.” Listening to each track will give listeners a taste of slashing horror and blood and guts, all of which praise the brutality of Exhumed’s music.
With a heavy tone, fast pace, growling vocals, blast beats, and brutal lyrics about gore, Horror surely strengthens Exhumed’s position as legends in death metal and grindcore. Although it has very mature content, Horror is highly recommended to brutal metal fans.
