Sure, sure, the album art for Deafheaven’s Sunbather was featured in advertising for the Apple iPhone 5c… but was the band actually in the commercial? Performing an original song they wrote specifically for the ad, no less? No. No, they were not.

So, Deafheaven, consider yourselves one-upped by neo-thrashers Exmortus. I have no idea how the hell they ended up in this spot, but I’m all for it, ’cause a) awesome band making some dough = ability to make more killer music, and b) awesome band in commercial makes commercial 100% less irritating. Like, if I could snap my fingers and make Frank Mullen the celebrity spokesperson for Toyota, I would totally do it.

Exmortus’ Slave to the Sword is out now on Prosthetic. Multiple MetalSucks staffers (myself included) agree that it’s one of the best releases of 2014 thus far. If for some reason you have yet to check to it out…move your ass already! Here, I’ll make it real easy for you:

Thanks: Dave
