EXIT HUMANITY - Undead Savior (GOD EATER - CD 2014)
There’s a nice pile of CDs from
Godeater Records lying in front of me and this morning I took one of them,
which is Exit Humanity’s “Undead Savior”. It’s been playing almost for the
whole day and I must say that this is really cool debut material. It’s actually
a demo, first released on tape but now also available on the CD… Which is good,
as those Germans really did a nice job on their debut.
Or maybe I should be more
precise… There’s still some room for improvement, for getting better and
better, for sure Exit Humanity will need to work even more on their
songwriting, making it even more interesting and killer, with even more lethal
riffs and great feeling. But for the debut recording, “Undead Savior” is
already very solid and nice release! I like it. Those Germans perform some old
styled, filthy death metal, pretty slow and brutal, also slightly groovy, with
that feeling and riffing, which may remind you Grave, who I think must have
been the main influence for Exit Humanity! And it’s not just the riffs, but
even the vocals are quite close to good old Ola Lindgren hehe! Also think of Vomitory,
Torture Division, Paganizer and the old UK scene with Bolt Thrower,
Benediction… plus all such similar bands and you know… This is pure, groovy,
dynamic and aggressive death metal, with very few melodic accents, which will
lead you straight to the Swedish soil… Simple, not too technical, but effective
and aggressive, quite memorable stuff, with just good, solid songs. It’s an
easy listen, with no stress, just a pleasure from hearing some classic old
styled death metal. Exit Humanity, as I wrote before, may not be the most
impressive band around these days and sure, they will need to work on their
music more and more, but I already like them. And “Undead Savior” is just damn
good. More so, I also really love the artwork for this CD. Damn, what a nice,
blasphemous picture of zombie Jesus and apostles!
Standout track: “Plague of the
Undead”
Final rate: 70/100
