We are proud to announce the signing of Italy’s DESPITE EXILE to the Lifeforce Records roster. New EP coming soon!
Coming out of Udine, Italy DESPITE EXILE is bringing some really heavy stuff on the table. This project started in 2010 from the ashes of the metalcore outfit Farseer Scream. Supporting the first EPs “Scarlet Reverie” and “Re-Evolve” the band began a relentless touring activity all around Italy and France.
After three years of hard work and shows the first album “Sentience” has been released in November 2013. With this record the five-piece brought its sound to a more mature level and got very positive feedbacks from press and webzines.
Known for its explosive live performances, DESPITE EXILE has become one of the most acclaimed Italian newcomers, playing great shows and festivals alongside international acts such as Trivium, Betraying The Martyrs, Oceano, Texas In July, Napoleon, The Algorithm, Skyharbor and Destrage just to name a few, quickly increasing its fanbase around Italy and Europe.
Whether you like fast, crushing death metal riffs or intricate and epic guitar melodies, mixed with deep, powerful vocals and bouncy breakdowns, DESPITE EXILE’s got what you’re looking for!
When my old buddy Kenn Jensen asked me if I wanted to contribute to the new site he had created, then called powermetal.dk, I didn't hesitate. My love for metal music was and is great. I wrote my first review during the summer of 2004 (Moonspell's 'Antidote' album). In 2015, I took over the editor-in-chief role.
