Exhumed Dropped a Surprise EP Ahead of Their Tour with Cavalera
With their tour set to kick off tonight, gore-laden death metal grind monsters Exhumed dropped a surprise digital EP titled Beyond The Dead yesterday. Featuring four unreleased songs and four live tracks taken from recent shows, it’s effectively the iron-tinged dessert to the flesh-filled buffet that was last October’s To The Dead.
Exhumed frontman Matt Harvey said the new offering was a bid to keep the band’s brutality and razor sharp attack at the front of their mind before heading to any of their upcoming shows.
“As we head into the nether regions of the To the Dead-touring-cycle, we wanted to remind folks that de Exhumed riff factory is still a going concern and we’re still more than capable (culpable?) of churning out a mausoleum’s worth of wretched requiems and decrepit dirges.
“These songs are a nice capstone to the last couple years, which started with our Worming EP and continued with our last record, To the Dead. I think we’ve gelled better than ever as a band are firing on all cylinders – and that these releases of “extra tracks” feature stuff that’s just as strong as the tunes on the records and we can’t wait to rot your brains and aggravate your neighbors with this latest discharge of deafening discord!”
Beyond The Dead is available on their Bandcamp page for $9.99 or you can stream it wherever you get your music. If you’d like to hear these songs in person, be sure to grab yourself some tickets to any of the shows listed below — especially the Metal Injection Festival. That shit’s going to be wild.

- Lysergicide
