Exul - Self Titled (2017)

Can we talk about how crushing this is? I mean, really truly honestly crushing? Exul were the remains of Bad Friends after they split, Jake Brady on vocals still and now taking up bass as well, Will back on guitar, and Kae on drums. This three piece powerhouse had a HUGE sound, down tuned and violently hopeless sounding hardcore punk that brings to mind Tragedy if you ran some doom metal through their filter. Got to play with them once, which was one of only a couple shows they did if I remember correctly, but live they were an experience of rumbling madness and total war. This album is a feat in itself, and I'm bummed they never released it on any kind of physical media.
