EXIL: New tracks

 

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!
