“Never†is a word that has come up many times throughout the existence of Louisiana’s pace-setting thrash/hardcore pioneers, Exhorder. After two short-lived reformation periods following the 1993 breakup of the band, Exhorder returned to the stage in 2018. In addition to their long-awaited live return, which won over any skeptics and proved Exhorder indeed was back, the band has forged a new album for a 2019 release, “Mourn the Southern Skiesâ€. While finally encapsulating the live sound that the band had built its legendary reputation with, “Mourn the Southern Skies†is an intoxicating concoction of old school thrashers and groovers blended with a modern, mature Exhorder.
