About
Exhumed is a death metal band from San Jose, California, known for their gore-themed lyrics and relentless sonic assault. The group was formed in 1990 and is primarily driven by founding member Matt Harvey (guitar, vocals). Over the years, Exhumed has seen numerous lineup changes but has consistently delivered an aggressive blend of death metal, grindcore, and deathgrind. Their music is heavily inspired by influential bands like Carcass, which has been a significant influence on their sound and style.
How to Sound Like Exhumed
Exhumed's sound is characterized by its aggressive and brutal nature, with an emphasis on fast-paced, intricate guitar work and guttural vocals. The band's sonic assault is both raw and technically precise, embodying the chaotic yet structured nature of their music. To achieve their ferocious sound, Matt Harvey often employs guitars like the Ibanez Iceman and ESP Arrow, paired with the powerful Peavey 6505+ 120-Watt Tube Guitar Amp Head to deliver crushing riffs and searing solos. The use of the Maxon OD808 Overdrive adds a layer of distortion that enhances their aggressive sound, making Exhumed's music a relentless onslaught of brutality and technical prowess.
