Exumer reveals details for new album, ‘Hostile Defiance‘; launches video for title track; announces European tour dates

On April 5th, legendary multinational thrash metallers Exumer will release their fifth full-length, Hostile Defiance, via Metal Blade Records.

Hostile Defiance is exactly what its title suggests. A 42-minute full on attack, the thrash faction hold nothing back as they unleash hell as only they can, yet with more variety and dynamics than ever before. « We wanted to sonically progress, incorporating more melodic elements in the music as well as more rhythmic variety, » states vocalist Mem Von Stein. « We are a lot braver trying to create an up to date and relevant sound that can easily stand alone in today’s thrash landscape without sounding trite or a throwback, and we’re challenging the listener not to get too comfortable with one specific feel, tempo or pace. »

For a preview of the album, the video for the first single, « Hostile Defiance », can be seen at:http://metalblade.com/exumer 

The clip was created by renowned cover artist Costin Chioreanu (At The Gates, Voivod, etc.), who also made the album artwork and layout for Hostile Defiance.

Tracking the album in studios in Dortmund and Frankfurt, the sessions were marked with « super positive vibes all around with a strong, driven work ethic to create an optimal product. » The band plans to tour the record hard, and will be hitting the road in Europe when the album drops, and from that point onward, they will be visiting as many countries as possible. « Our goal is simple: to further establish the band as one of the main German thrash metal acts that began in the 1980s and are now carrying the torch into the 2020s. »
