Reunion Mania

EXHORDER RETURNS

 Friday, October 16th, 2009 at 11:30am by

I’m suspicious of the concept of an Exhorder reunion album, although Alice in Chains just proved that, yes, a reunited band can record again and live up to expectations. So maybe I should be less cynical. I mean, I’m not going to be less cynical, I’m just admitting that one time outta ten, my cynicism is wrong. Sometimes.

One thing I’m not so cynical about: the reunited Exhorder’s ability to kick major ass live. Blabbermouth tells us that the band has just scheduled their first comeback gig, to take place November 14 at Southport Hall in Jefferson, Louisiana. It’ll be the band’s first show in eight years.

I’ve never been to Louisiana, but believe you me when I say I am now considering taking a vacation to Jefferson. I’m also hoping more dates will soon follow so I can take a vacation someplace warm where girls walk around in next to nothing instead, but, hey, whatever it takes to see Exhorder…

Here’s Exhorder doing “Slaughter in the Vatican” in Germany in ’92.

    Meh, I never understood the praise they were getting…..I always found Forced Entry a better Groovy/Thrash band from that period.

  • Johnny Ringo

    the food here is amazing, but the towns are shitty…jefferson is a little craphole cajun town that exhorder shall destroy! it is definitely worth a trip down to check that show out

    One of the greatest groove/thrash bands ever. Shame they never got the recognition they deserved.
    “ANAL LUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSTTTT!”

  • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

    I just hope that shitty bro-core band TUC doesn’t open up for them. Last thing exhorder needs is to have a wigga-slam act open for them on their comeback show.

    Is there anything on record of Phil Anselmo ever recognizing Exhorder? (due to the whole “Who influenced who?” debate) Or vise versa for that matter…

    • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

      Actually he’s been seen wearing an Exhorder t-shirt in his Mohawked CFH days, and i heard he actually sang their praises quite a bit.

      Before this turns into a bullshit argument about who stole from who,Kyle thomas himself said that while theres definately similarities in sound, Pantera did in fact work harder than Exhorder towards geting recognition and that he has no ill feelings towards Pantera And co.
