Exhale - Prototype
I was totally unfamiliar with this band from Sweden. They call themself Exhale, and the name rang a bell, but eventually I could not remember hearing this before. After I listened this album for the first time, I was already prejudiced about the rest. GODDAMN!!!!!! What a killer album! I found no information about this band, just that this record called Prototype, is actually their first full-length.
To start with the first song, I immediately hear influences from Nasum. Grinding guitars, fast drumwork and a very inducing bass sound. ‘Hell Yeah’ I thought and when the 4th song kicked in, I got so excited I could shit! The song is entitled Stangda Dorrar and is available for download on the website, and I really recommend anyone that can appreciate excruciatingly fast grinding to get this song a.s.a.p. To be honest none of the further tracks did give me that rush of that track. The rest of the album is very appreciatable with songs like Bussen Till Helvetet PtI and II, The Lie and Humans Own Defeat. Especially the Exhumed-like parts on Bussen Till... are overwhelming!
