EXHUMED return from the depths with their macabre new album "To the Dead!" The band's storied career needs no introduction; EXHUMED are the pioneers of blood-soaked "Gore" Metal. To the Deadis the culmination of decades upon decades of nightmarish riffs, obliterating blast beats, and hellish screams from the very depths the band crawled out from! So please, accept the band's humble invitation and sink six feet down to their level. EXHUMED can't wait for you to get a whiff of what they've cooked up - this will be the most fun you've ever had being disgusted!
GRUESOME: “The past was never dead. It’s not even past.” – William Faulkner
At its core, Faulkner is saying we’re never truly done with the past—it will, in some way, continue to shape the present and alter the future. And on a parallel level, those who have left this earth too soon are simply silent echoes of the past. For a band created as a tribute to fallen Death figurehead Chuck Schuldiner, the past is never truly out of reach. In reality, the band is the living embodiment of it.
Faulkner’s quote took on a greater meaning for Gruesome throughout the writing of their third studio album, Silent Echoes. For as much as the band stayed within the early era Death boundaries on 2015’s Savage Land and 2018’s Twisted Prayers, Silent Echoes is the quartet’s true put up or shut-up moment for one simple reason: It was written and recorded in the spirit of Death’s 1991 progressive death metal masterpiece, Human.
