Roots of Czech band Exitus go back to 1989 when Vladan Pražák and Víťa Ferenčák formed this band but disbanded in 1991. Now, thirty years later, with help of some new forces in the band, they released their opus containing twelve songs, one being a Pro-Pain cover. Exitus play that nineties old school thrash metal with one leg being in the eighties European school of thrash and one with some hardcore influences of early nineties, or maybe crossover even. Vocals are harsh and music is like running through a gauntlet of warriors who batter you with their metal gloves on your head and I don’t mean that in a bad way. Songs like ‘Final Solution(…of Existence)’, ‘World Error’ or ‘Apocalypse Never’ are sure to win you over for sure. Guitar work is chainsaw and brutal with some melodic hook here and there thrown in for good measure. I love Eastern European scene with so much good bands coming out and waiting to be discovered every day. This is fast, aggressive, groove, no holds barred thrash metal angry attack in your face.
