“The Exile brings symphonic elements to more intense and sometimes speedy death metal. Solid bursts of adrenaline, with the symphonies effectively working to provide a balance to these heavier moments, as heard in “The Epic of Darmak…an album that is well-written and enjoyable from start to finish.”

Overall, I must say that I am impressed with the results. The album was quite the grower with my pleasure increasing steadily with each listen…Fans of BM should rejoice at the sound of the first few notes, while those who favor things symphonic and just a touch avantgarde in flavor will find themselves at least curoius about what it has to offer.
