West Coast roadhounds, EXHUMED, currently spreading their gory delectables throughout North America on tour with labelmates Dying Fetus, today announce another stretch of live assaults with hardcore thrashbangers, Iron Reagan! The havoc will commence December 8th in Las Vegas followed by the systematic demolition of Oakland, San Diego, Anaheim, Tempe and Denver. See confirmed dates below.
EXHUMED are currently taking over the nation in support of their critically lauded Necrocracy full-length. Released in August via Relapse Records, and crowned, “one of the year’s best death/goregrind releases,” by About.com, the recordserves as the band’s most musically adept, sonically punishing and conceptually provocative recording of their mammoth catalog of chaos. Outburn gave Necrocracy a 9/10 score, noting, “The album seethes with vitriol, visceral shredding and thunderous grooves and it yields not a dull moment across its 29 minutes,” Pitchfork boasts, “Matt Harvey and his merry maniacs know exactly what they’re doing, and have spent 20-odd years perfecting their poisonous formula. The riffs still bludgeon, the snare still snaps, and the dual vocal assault still growls and yelps with the best of them. The wailing solos and brilliant flashes of melodic death metal perfection are a welcome addition, as is their maturing approach to songwriting,” while Metal Insider adds, “This is death metal the way it should be, but hardly is anymore: complex but still compact, well-played without being wanky, brutal without going to ridiculous extremes, and listenable, if not inviting, in spite of its inherent ghastliness. Necrocracy kills, plain and simple.”
