For their latest full-length, California’s kings of gore have swapped out the standard horror props, the scalpels, the musty VHS tapes, the foggy Scottish moors, for something far more relatable and, in its own way, just as deadly: the daily commute. The new record from Exhumed is a love letter written in brake fluid and shattered glass, a concept album that finds the beauty in the wreckage of the North American highway system.
It’s a surprisingly sharp turn for a band this deep into their career. Instead of rehashing the past, they’ve taken the frantic energy of their early deathgrind days and welded it to the more refined, almost catchy songwriting they’ve developed over the last decade. The result is an album that feels both classic and fresh. One online scribe recently called it their most satisfying work in over twenty-five years, and while that’s a bold claim, it’s not hard to hear why they’d say it.
The whole thing moves like a rush-hour pileup on a Los Angeles freeway. You get these bursts of pure, ugly speed that suddenly slam into these massive, lurching grooves that feel like a transmission falling out of a truck. The lyrics are just as unhinged, painting pictures of demolition derbies with the devil, Frankenstein-like sculptures made from corpses and car parts, and the last blurry thoughts of a drunk driver running out of road.
It’s gross, it’s funny, and it’s weirdly energetic. The songs barrel forward with a sense of purpose that mak ... See More

Exhumed is still doing well and keeping it real. The songs range from pretty good to downright fantastic.

A decent Deathgrind album. The first half of the album was a bit slower than I would've liked and I wish the whole album had the tempo and pacing of the first half. The track Symphorophilia was an amazing track and I was a big fan of it. Uhhh I don't know what to say regarding this album it was a really good release and I think it was the first album that came out in 2026 that I listened to so yeah! Good Deathgrind I hope I can buy it on CD sometime
