out now: Belarusian occult tech-deathsters EXIMPERITUS new album Šahrartu

American fans of fast, brutal, technical death metal will need to make an appointment with EXIMPERITUS. Apparently, the band does not go around telling everyone their names, but that might not matter to you once your ears feast on the music. Some people have noticed some affinities with Nile, and you'll have to be the judge of that, but what is certain is that the album offers an entertaining listen, and seems perfect for playing air guitar and air drums. The album sounds fully professional, the music is serious and memorable. Metal Archives says that the band has been kicking around street corners since 2009, but 2021 is a good time to start the journey into this music, if you are new to the band. Longtime fans already know that this is where things were heading since the 2016 album. This is EXIMPERITUS new and improved. -Metal Bulletin Zine

ABOUT: Hailing from Minsk, Belarus, EXIMPERITUS takes its name from dead languages of the Ancient East. The band was formed in 2009 and released its first demo - Triumpho Tenebrarum In Profundis Mors – in 2011. Two years later the band released another demo, Promo 2013. In 2016, EXIMPERITUS released its debut full-length, Projecting the Singular Emission of the Doctrine of Absolute and All-Absorbing Evil…, on Japanese label Amputated Vein Records. Despite its provocative and perplexing lyrical concepts, the album was highly-acclaimed by listeners and critics, receiving rave reviews in numerous webzines and music issues around the world. The album proved EXIMPERITUS to be a band capable of creating a detailed, conceptual universe consisting of sophisticatedly composed music with inexpressible majestic atmosphere. The debut was followed in 2017 by W2246-0525, an EP that showcased the next step in EXIMPERITUS’ evolution. As work began for another full-length album, the band released a single titled "Tahâdu" in 2019. The song showed continued progression in the band’s sound and song-crafting and captured the attention of a growing legion of fans. EXIMPERITUS then signed with Willowtip Records for the release of Šahrartu. The album is a grandiose and majestic representation of a new era of death metal being ushered in by EXIMPERITUS.
