It's clear when a band releases their debut album (whatever independent or on a label) an invisible power grows inside of the members as a whole and makes them work like overdosed by high performance vitamins, like an armor that converts the one who fits into it invincible. Makes you feel like you can swallow the world in one gulp... and still raving to spit it out.
If you previously have that energy, you just add it. And this is the result on FROM EXILE. NOIZELAND hadn't checked live but their live acts seems to be intense.
Their release of CRUSHING REALITY (2006) has made an obvious increase of their audience but not only of pure-metal ears. That's maybe because of the influences they air... maybe. Of course, you can notice it on the songs.
At first look, maybe some of you can say "more of the same, again". Crass error. I'm sure that you won't think that if you listen hearful. Maybe even after the first song, when you reach "Soliloquy of Death", the second cut: An eleven minute epic thrash metal cut will make you redefine your concept of what you understand as metal. The prevailing voice, nearer to black metal current scene changes its aspect depending on the atmosphere the song takes while the notes crowd together into your brain with no way out thru your excited ears. Some interludes into songs makes the listener wake up from the thrash trance and realise this is not another metal product for newbies. Also considerable is the impression you'll get for sure when the song gives title to the album goes through you. Another 10 outta 10. Great tunes. And also I gotta say (maybe not so important but sometimes some listeners appreciate that) the disposition of the songs all along the album is the correct one.
Unfortunately, that invisible energy mentioned at the beginning doesn't affect every aspect in a band and now FROM EXILE is trying to recruit a new bassist. Good luck with that. But warning: new member gotta play in the same league as the band. I recommend you, if you're the potential bassist, to listen them before sending an email (fromexile@gmail.com) for an audition...
