In the past few years, Glasgow melodic death metal band Exile The Traitor have established themselves as one of the best in their category, and there’s no better proof of that than their latest record, Winter Eternal.

This EP was my first chance to experience the talents of new co-vocalist Wull, and he does a damn good job delivering vicious high-pitch screams, and combined with the renowned demonic Scandinavian growls of Anton, together they dish out a double dose of vocal ferocity.

Add to that blistering riffs, bass lines and drumming, all contributing to a quartet of heavy tracks, we get a delightfully brutal EP that once again shows Exile The Traitor as an essential go-to band for some of the finest death metal in Scotland today.
