OBITUARY, SIX FEET UNDER, ASSUCK Members Join Forces In EXITSECT

[ctownhood]

EXITSECT is the name of a brand new Tampa, Florida-based "dark, experimental, atmospheric, doom-ridden death metal" band comprised of veterans of the metal and punk scenes. Former and current members of ASSUCK, OBITUARY, SIX FEET UNDER, DOWN BY LAW, DENIAL FIEND and PAINEATER have joined forces to create menacing, heavy tones with guttural vocals and dense, moody soundscapes. Driving tempos are accompanied by thick guitars and electronic accents.

With influences ranging from NEUROSIS, WINTER, AMEBIX and CELTIC FROST to SWANS, GODFLESH and MORBID ANGEL, there is no clear future musical direction except gloomy and crushing. Sometimes saturnine, sometimes ambient, sometimes melodic and mid-paced... the goal is always overwhelming malaise.

The band recorded its first song, "Embrace of the Pale Rope", at GL and Mana Studios with Brian Elliot at the mixing board and has made it available for streaming on the official EXITSECT MySpace page.

EXITSECT is currently seeking a record deal and plans to hit the road once the group's full-length debut has been released.

EXITSECT is:

* Paul Pavlovich (ASSUCK, TRACK THE CURSE) - Vocals
* Greg Gall (SIX FEET UNDER) - Drums
* Frank Watkins (OBITUARY) - Bass
* Sam Williams (DOWN BY LAW, DENIAL FIEND, MASSACRE, PSEUDO HEROES) - Guitar
* Joe Kiser (MURDER SUICIDE PACT, PAINEATER, SLAP OF REALITY) - Guitar
* Aleks Vasic (KURSK - INFINITE) - Electronic Ornamentation

Sounds cool.

wtf? So random. Has a chance of being good but I'm expecting bad.

 

[arg]

there's a band named Assuck?

Yep. That is where Misery Index got their name from. And like Andy said, this has potential to be cool but will probably wind up sucking big time.

 

[CF87]

I think it could be good because the guitarists from SFU and Obituary are not in the band.

 

[~Derek~]

^I was hoping Swanson from SFU would be in the band, but oh well, Greg Gall is a good drummer.

I don't own Misery Index, so you can stop talking to me now.

[SamDBL]

You don't really need debate on whether it may or may not suck since there's a full song up on the myspace page. Check it out.

 

[General Zaroff]
