We Are the Grim Throng

This is the debut from Exalted, another US Black Metal band toiling in the underground. I like this CD, but it's not extraordinary, there being nothing unique or really salient about it. Exalted play raw, fast Black Metal with a good guitar sound and a lot of aggression, beyond that there's not much to say. This is a short album, and it certainly makes me want to see what this band will do in the future. Exalted are fierce, but while they are competent at what they do, they don't stand out from the crowd in any way.
