Exhumed drive death metal through your skull on Red Asphalt

Exhumed Credit: Ross Sewage Matt Harvey started spewing gory, Carcass-inspired death metal in 1990, when he formed Exhumed at age 15, and he hasn’t stopped since. Over the decades, the band have grown tighter and faster, even as they’ve shifted the proportions of goregrind, death, and tech death in their music according to personnel changes and Harvey’s whims. They set horror-movie splatter to bludgeoning rhythms, and if that’s your poison, you’ll want to hook their catalog directly to your veins. While Exhumed are dedicated to the verities, they also have a few cards up their rotting sleeves that separate them from their siblings in morbidity. First is songwriting: Underneath the roar and murk, their tracks have honest-to-Satan hooks that lend themselves to excellent headbanging. Second is the interplay between Harvey’s high-pitched screams and the guttural, sewer-dwelling vocals of bassist Ross Sewage.
