Exhumer will release their second album Degraded by Sepsis on October 15, 2013 through Comatose Music. The Italian deathgrind band embarks on a full European tour with Psycroptic, Hour of Penance and Dyscarnate starting this Friday. Tour dates follow.
Degraded by Sepsis presents an efficient and well-executed take on standard deathgrind. Guttural blasting abounds, underscored with melody, emphasizing a buildup to a vocal and percussion tirade that brings the song to its peak. Song development is minimal and mostly verse-chorus.
While this may not win any points with those who demand innovation and profundity, Exhumer’s second work shows us material that is deliberate, with no extraneous parts hanging around like at a poorly-cleaned morgue, and tasteful in that all pieces fit together and the song experience as a whole is enjoyable.

It has been too long since I have visited DLA, but I have been following the Italian movement of death metal bands for over a year now. It is good to see that I have not been the only one seeing what Italy has brought to America shores.
I also suggest Antropofagus, Logical of Denial, and Hideous Divinity amongst some of the best.
I would really like to get these Italian bands here but it is hard for them to get the visas they need.
