Self Imposed Exile are a band from Illinois that plays a progressive mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their self released 20220 ep "Mountainside".
Clean playing starts off the ep while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. At times the music also gets very progressive sounding while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
The vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while death metal growls and clear singing can also be heard at times. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as the riffs also adding in a lot of melody and spoken word parts can also be heard briefly.
Self Imposed Exile plays a musical style that takes progressive black and death metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover mental illness, uprising against the Nephilim and spirit possession themes.
In my opinion Self Imposed Exile are a very great sounding progressive mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Anchor" and "Fire Cleansed". 8 out of 10.
