If you checked my
2021 Year's end top list, you may have read my review of
Exil's last year LP, well good news it's not too late if you haven't yet and wanna learn a
bit more about the band... Ok so the swedes are back with two new tracks
which "didn't fit" on the coming 7" titled Mercenary which should
be out on
Adult Crash
in fall 2022 (pressing plants delays are insane these days). So these two
tracks are just an appetizer and should be released "on pro-tape together
with 2 songs from the coming 7”, and 2 songs from the Warning LP"
by the same Adult Crash.
Suffer is in my opinion very representative of the kind of sound
Exil "usually" delivers, it's fast and in your-face: the drums pound your face relentlessly while the very aggressive and slamming
bass sound takes over the heavy Poison-Idea influenced guitar
riffs and the dual vocals respond to each other on the verse. And that leads to the chorus where the
"main" singer takes over the screaming with intonations
reminiscent of
Damaged Head's latest releases.
With its three minutes, Overdose is a "long" hardcore track. It
starts off mid-tempo, driven by a heavy bass line, before speeding up a
bit and turning into some kind of oi!-infused track in which OVERDOSE is
chanted and shouted all the way through, the singer being regularly joined
by gang vocals that take us to the "street" side of punk. It's very efficient,
powerful and catchy to be honest, definitely my favourite of the two
tracks.
Just a few more months to wait before the new 7" (and maybe a new LP not
too long after?)! That's a pretty cool teaser anyway!
