Not many metal bands claim influences such as Radiohead and Jeff Buckley but British metalcore group Exit ten aren't just any metal band.The band was originally a punk/metal covers trio of three brothers who did there fair share of pubs and clubs. Several miles away in bracknall indie-funk band Ant Salon were struggling with line-up changes and turmoil within the group. Vocalist Ryan Redman was looking for a new challenge...Enter Exit Ten.
Although Ryan wasn't by any means a metal vocalist but he fitted well within the band and gave Exit Ten a new sound that could only be described as metal for the masses.
With there first release (This World They'll Drown) being scorned by the majority of metal heads the future looked bleak for Exit Ten, but did they give up.No.
Remember The Day is a completely fresh and new experience for any music listener our there. It really does appeal to everyone. It opens with Technically Alive the current single and in my opinion not the strongest track to open with but it defiantly shows you what Exit Ten are about. Resume Ignore has been remastered from the mini album and what a track it has been formed into, It has any riff loving man weak at the knees and vocalists wishing they could match Ryan's amazing pitch range.
Every track is distinct and nothing blends in which on this album is defiantly a good thing as each song hits hard and fast but keeps any ear drums not so used to metal intact.
Exit Ten have defiantly opened up a whole new scene with this debut.
7/10
