Exarsis
Sentenced To Life
Ten years after their first demo, the Greeks of Exarsis are preparing to release their fifth full-length album, once again rising the flag of old school thrash metal. After a change in the line-up on the drums and the return of founding member and guitarist Chris Tsitsis (Suicide Angels a.o.), "Sentenced To Life" is probably the most melodic album of their discography to date, which nevertheless contains the typical Exarsis feeling, also because they keep pushing the accelerator pedal pretty hard. As a surprise there are guest appearances of Pyros Lafias (Chronosphere) and Lefteris Xatzhandreou (Bio-Cancer) in the song "...Against My Fears", which is about overcoming depression and the fight against the inner demons. Like the two previous releases, the album was produced by Mike Karpathiou in D-Studio. The artwork is by Dan Goldsworthy (Accept, Xentrix, Gloryhammer).
