Buffalo’s magnificently brutal metallic punk ensemble Every Time I Die is set to
unleash Ex Lives this March 6th. The new album was produced by renowned
producer Joe Barresi (Tool, The Melvins, Queens of the Stone Age) and offers an
unrelenting onslaught of ingeniously composed and furiously executed cathartic
hardcore. This is the band’s highly anticipated follow up to 2009’s raging
masterwork New Junk Aesthetic, which Absolute Punk heralded as a musical
“weapon of mass destruction.” From the syncopated chaos of the opening
salvo "Underwater Bimbos From Outer Space" to the progressive mosh anthem
"A Wild, Shameless Plain" and relentless metal riffage of “The Low Road Has No
Exits" Ex Lives sees Every Time I Die further tempering their aggression while
experimenting with new instrumentation such as banjo (see the sinister intro of
"Partying Is Such Sweet Sorrow"). "I don't think us doing anything different is a
surprise to Every Time I Die fans because one of the main reasons why a lot of
people have stuck by us for so long is because they know they can expect the
unexpected with each release" vocalist/lyricist Keith Buckley explains.
Similarly Ex Lives also sees Buckley pushing his vocal range on songs like
"Revival Mode," which does the amazing trick of combining the band’s classic
sound with soaring melodies more typically heard from Soundgarden or Queens
of the Stone Age. It’s impossible to deny that in an increasingly stagnant
musical climate Every Time I Die are still pushing the limits of their own
sound—and Ex Lives is aural evidence that after over a decade together they're
anything but complacent. Keith summarizes when asked to describe Ex Lives,
"This feels like a new band in a way… it's just its own thing and that feels really,
really good."

what can you say about the boys from Buffalo Every Time I Die that hasn't already been said. Ex Lives, the 6th full length from the band,is as always, is a full blown assault on your mind. body and soul. Not to be imitated, duplicated, Its everything you love about an Every Time I Die record, done better. IF a band can hang around since 1998, and still evolve and grow as musicians, then they are doing something correct. So, all you new school matal and hardcore ( or at least what they consider to be hardcore theses days) take notes. Learn from the best! On my list of top albums of 2012.
