Band Terrorizes National Year-End Lists!

Goregrind legends EXHUMED played their first U.S. show in over six years at the 2011 edition of the Maryland Deathfest and thanks to NPR, the set, in all its uncensored glory, is available for your consumption at THIS LOCATION.

EXHUMED released their All Guts, No Glory full-length earlier this year via Relapse Records. The record continues to reap critical acclaim from fans and critics nationally and has left it’s grisly mark on multiple Year End lists including Decibel, Pitchfork, NPR.org, MetalSucks and Skulls N Bones!

Said vocalist/guitarist menace Matt Harvey: “2011 has been a great year for the band. We’ve had a killer time scraping off the rust on the gore metal machine and getting back on the road and partying with necromaniacs all over the place. It’s amazing how many people have enjoyed our racket and have actually said nice things about our record – sometimes even in public! We have a lot of shit planned for next year and we’re chomping at the bit to continue subjecting the universe to more of our god awful noise! See you on the road…or at the bar. Play fast or die, dudes. Cheers!”
