Exit 13 is an experimental grindcore/rock/metal band which featured one of the founders of Relapse Records; Bill Yurkiewicz, on vocals. Furthermore there was Richard Hoak (from Brutal Truth and Total Fucking Destruction) on drums and Dan Lilker (from too many bands to mention, amongst others Anthrax, SoD, Brutal Truth and Nuclear Assault) on bass. Quite a cult band indeed, but broken up quite some time already. Now they release this 2-disc compilation of some of their finest and most obscure work.
High Life! displays what Exit 13 is all about. Weird ass stoner music all the way (like the cover didn�t give that away). Grindcore, sludge, blues, rock, industrial, basically a noisy band that will piss off your parents because they don�t understand it. Almost all their releases are on these two discs, so for the collectors this is truly heaven.
The fact is that Exit 13 is not your average good band. It�s more like a fun project by a bunch of stoners, and that�s what is sounds like when you listen to it. It doesn�t bother me to listen to it, I occasionally have to laugh even (especially due to the idiotic samples on it), but there is nothing really impressing on these two discs. Just good clean fun metal music, with an emphasis on the stoners among us. Glad I�m one of those!
