(review) Exiled on Earth – The Onyx Path (Punishment 18 Records)

Exiled on Earth are hailing from Italy, after three full lengths this is their new e.p. containing five songs, one being cover of Death´s Zombie Ritual. The history of these guys reaches to 2000 so they have been around in the scene for more than two decades now with this band. Music of this band can be described as progressive thrash metal, with some power metal influences here and there that go more into USA power metal territory than European melodic speed power metal, meaning more thrashy aggressive guitar work with some catchy hook here and there and great solos, thundering bass and superb drum work. The musicianship of this band is on the higher level than many, also another plus is that the songs are not too long and they do not get boring or pretentious as some bands do with this kind of metal. Vocals are snarled, shouted, but sometimes also melodic and this band was a pleasure to discover and listen to this e.p. Now I am gonna check out the full lengths too. Personal favorites: Psychic Retaliator, The Onyx Path.

GENUS ORDINIS DEI are finally back with a new thrilling single!

The Entropic Queen is the new music video and single from Italian symphonic death metal masters, Genus Ordinis Dei. The single was just released worldwide a couple of days ago, and it is the latest since the release of their critically acclaimed full-length album and metal music video series Glare of Deliverance.

The Entropic Queen was produced by Tommy Monticelli at Sonitus Studio during the after-effects of the band’s infection with the Covid-19 virus. The song tells a story about the pandemic, but from the virus’s perspective, which is represented as an entropic queen who, invaded by the continuous expansion of man, reacts and responds to the attack, with her army of spike-carrying soldiers.

The whole song is a great allegory that narrates the attack on the cell by the virus as if it were the assault of a castle.

The single features cover art by Tom Roberts.
