Hailing from the United Kingdom...they started back in 2008...getting their first contract one year later after playing in pubs and some local venues...their first album "I" had mixed reviews...but overall the consensus was that they were decent and they had potential...that idea got proven in their second album entitled "II"...which changed the whole spectrum from their first album...the symphonic arrangements in a groove metal band plus the progressive style was something unheard so far...their second album had mixed reviews as well...but this time it was about the style they achieved...something that cannot be taken for granted...they were a unique band and deserved a lot of listening sessions to get into it...and it worked for them. in my personal opinion...they have a really marked influence from techncal and symphonic bands...but they didnt copy or emulate somebody else's sound...which is even rare nowadays.
Now...this year...they release their third album entitled...yeah...that is correct..."III"...laidback album titles huh?
this is the key point and the highest peak from Xerath...even more progressive than theiir previous album...some djent elements and the symphonic elemente feel natural...they´ve set a live strings sessions for most of their songs making the album an organic and constant flow song by song...i totally recommend this band fot those who are searching for something randomly well done...and get away from the same nowadays sounds in metal.
Enjoy!
