saw Exhorder open for Overkill last night, it was seriously awesome. wasn't sure what to expect as I saw them the day before the world ended in 2020, and due to recently firing their lead guitarist, they toured as a four piece, and it sounded awful (bass swallowed up all the sound, soloing over bass lines, etc). they're still a four piece but now Kyle is playing rhythm guitar.
six songs, four from Slaughter in the Vatican, including "Exhorder", "Desecrator", "Legions of the Dead", and the title track. and Incontinence from The Law, and one song from the latest album. sandblasted and awesome and Kyle sounded great.
but man, was their reunion album a bummer to me. i'll give it another listen to see if I like it better now but I was really disappointed when it came out.
