BOUT EXORCISM
Blending the ferocity of death metal with the razor-sharp aggression of thrash, EXORCISM is Birmingham’s latest rising star in the extreme metal scene. Formed in the summer of 2023, this young, hungry quartet has rapidly earned a reputation for their blistering sound, explosive live shows, and no-holds-barred approach to metal. Drawing from the relentless energy of classic thrash bands like Slayer and Onslaught, as well as the crushing brutality of death metal pioneers like Death and Obituary, EXORCISM delivers a sound that’s as punishing as it is precise.
The band’s music is a relentless barrage of riffs, blast-beats, and guttural vocals, all layered with a sense of unholy urgency and fury. Their aggressive, yet methodical songwriting gives a nod to the old-school, while incorporating modern death thrash elements that keep their sound fresh and relevant.
EXORCISM are:
Lead Guitar and Vocals – Freddie Widdows
Drums – Will Watson
Bass – Tom McIver (not pictured)
Rhythm Guitar – Will Butler
