Each instrument is perfectly balanced, allowing the intricacies of the guitar solos, the punch of the bass, and the ferocity of the drums to shine through.
If you’ve been searching for something incredible in the realm of thrash metal, look no further—Exa’s latest offering, “Left in Shards“, has arrived. Having kept an eye on Exa for a while, I knew they had the potential to make waves. But with “Left in Shards” they’ve firmly established themselves as a significant presence in the genre.
I want you to know right from the start—if you’re a fan of legendary thrash acts like Kreator, Testament, Pantera, and Slayer, you need to hear Exa’s “Left in Shards”. This album captures the ferocity of old-school thrash and melds it with a modern, polished edge.
From the haunting melodies of “Under His Eye” to the gut-punching aggression of “Dead Child Eyes“, each tune on “Left in Shards” delivers something unique. Despite this variety, the album maintains the cohesive and raw energy that defines Exa’s sound.
“Hire to Fire” showcases the band’s ability to blend speed and technicality, while the title track, “Left in Shards“, stands out as an anthem of destruction and resilience. Man, “Left in Shards” is the kind of track that grabs you from the start and keeps you fully engaged until the very end. It’s so compelling that you’ll find yourself hitting replay again and again.
“Witch Hunt” and “Cease to Exist” bring the album to its most intense moments, with aggressive vocals and complex guitar work that hark back to the heyday of thrash metal.
Sound Engineering at Its Finest
Produced, mixed, and mastered by the band’s own Tom Exa (Tschernig) at LTMF Studios, the album captures the raw intensity of a live performance while achieving a level of sonic clarity that elevates the group’s sound to new heights. Each instrument is perfectly balanced, allowing the intricacies of the guitar solos, the punch of the bass, and the ferocity of the drums to shine through.
“Left in Shards” will be available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music, starting February 9, 2024. You can preorder physical copies and exclusive merchandise through the band’s official website.
