Rough is as rough does–once you get past the ambient opener the album is volatile and mad. Like a well-worn leather jacket, you’ve gotta treat these tracks mean to keep yourself keen, take a rough approach with your commitment to listening to this EP just as ExitWounds do so with their execution of this collection. This’ll mean you can really get into the gnarly edges, soon realising that ExitWounds are potentially the next big thing in the genre.

The calibre of song writing and musicianship is unparalleled, impressive and cements ExitWounds in the must-hear in 2019 category.

The clean vocals are as mind-melting as the harsh, bending the range impressively in Transparency as the story unfolds in the melody as much as the lyrics. ExitWounds do well to captivate their listener in all areas, particularly in their homages to Ancient Greek entities in Hades and Medusa. The calibre of song writing and musicianship is unparalleled, impressive and cements ExitWounds in the must-hear in 2019 category.

If you’ll allow yourself to be introduced to one new metalcore band this year, let it be ExitWounds. Their fury, their passion, their unadulterated and heartfelt execution of some intense music is simply sublime, and Visions is a breathtaking audio journey from start to finish.
