It’s been five years since Slaughter Messiah released their debut album “Cursed to the Pyre”, which after several long sold-out short format releases and demos (compiled as “Putrid Decade of Morbid Terror” in 2021) put them at the forefront of the international scene with their signature black speed metal sound. Now the Belgian four-piece finally shows a new sign of life in the shape of “Exorcized to None”, an EP featuring one new song and two re-recorded classics plus all three tracks as live renditions from shows in Poland, Germany and Austria. This six-track release follows a successful tour in South America and introduces new guitarist D. Horse – who turns out on be not so new after all. “He already stepped in for several live shows, so we knew what meat we had in the tub”, explains drummer John Barry. “There’s a more vivid dynamic again now since we have a very inspired line-up with full availability for the band.” Accordingly, the group is in a highly creative mood, as mirrored by their latest composition ‘Exorcized to None’, which gives the new EP its title and points towards their upcoming second full-length. “Songs will be more compact and to the point with well-considered structures”, Barry promises. “Of course, we’ll maintain the old feeling, stirring up influences from the ancient masters of metal.” As all of Slaughter Messiah’s back catalogue, “Exorcized to None” is bound to soon become a sought-after rarity – secure your copy now!
