Exarsis

Ten years after their first demo, the Greeks of Exarsis are preparing to release their fifth full-length album, once againrising 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 (SuicideAngels a.o.), "Sentenced To Life" is probably the most melodic album of their discography to date, which neverthelesscontains 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) inthe 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 DanGoldsworthy (Accept, Xentrix, Gloryhammer).
