The 1998 debut album by Exhumed, Gore Metal, has been dug up and brought back to life! Featuring just guitarist and vocalist Matt Harvey from that late 90s line-up, Exhumed has re-recorded this gem and will be releasing Gore Metal: A Necrospective on February 10th on Relapse Records.

Said Harvey on the fresh new take of the album opener:

“‘Necromaniac’ was a song that we felt best exemplified what we were going for on Gore Metal: Possessed and Repulsion ripoff riffs, grunts, screams, whammy bar obnoxiousness, and a traditional song structure. Hence why we chose it for the album’s leadoff track. We’ve played the song countless times live throughout the years and I don’t hate it yet, which is a good sign! This version is a lot more listenable and coherent, which may or not be a good thing depending on your taste. Anyway, if all that sounds like your kind of thing, give this revamped version a listen!”

Exhumed is currently out on the Through Space and Grind tour with Napalm Death, Voivod, Iron Reagan, and Black Crown Initiate.
