Exilent Beyond Reality LP
A story about life under capital in the present told with a tour de force of violent and dark songs by this band from Hannover in Germany. EXILENT specializes in apocalyptic and heavy crust, and knows how to be metallic enough when needed, like on “System D,” or a brutal thrasher like on “Common Blindness,” or more ethereal and dense like on “Hammock.” This band turned ten years old in 2020, so this album is a good gateway to their sound if you don’t know them yet.
