New Zealand knuckle dragger brutes Exaltation decided to show up in 2022 with their debut full-length, with eight tracks in 31 minutes. Metal Archives shows nothing else besides a 2017 demo. They generally prefer shorter songs for the low-tuned, low-growling minimalistic cavernous concoction of doom, death and blast barbarity. It is not a complex cacophony of multiple layers that require repeated attempts at exegesis. I listen to this because apparently the thick dumb sound of blasting death doom goes perfectly with my simple-minded way of appreciating a racket. I’m not sure that my neighbors are enjoying the Exaltation hullaballoo blasting out of my apartment window as much as I am, but what am I supposed to do on a hot summer day with no air conditioning?! I have to have the window open, sit around drinking ice-cold tea and listen to Exaltation so that I do not drop dead in a hot smelly Lynnwood apartment.
This band is unmelodic, uncatchy fugly savagery, and only people like you could ever enjoy this “music.” You know how society has this stereotype that metal music is just loud noise? Yeah, well, it’s a stereotype for a reason. The name of the reason is Exaltation.
Gosh, this is awful stuff. I want more of it.
