Painted In Exile
The first time we experienced the musical power that Painted In Exile represents, it was clear to us that this band based out of Long Island New York, was geared for some head-crushing yet harmonious adventures. What really stands out about Painted In Exile is the energy and unpredictable musical passages that they take the listener on. One minute they are playing some furious Death Metal with very fast parts, the next minute they go into a Jazz interlude. And while all this has been done before, what really sets Painted In Exile apart, is the precision that vocalist Rob Richards possesses when he lays down his lyrics.
Additionally, the band features some very talented professional musicians which understand each musical part and never deliver a wrong note. The Murphy brothers, James on guitar and William on keyboards, combined with guitarist Marc Lambert, drummer Eddie DeCesare and new bass player Connor Larkin, take the listener into a musical joyride. Every part this musicians write, blends in perfectly with Rob's vocals, creating an spectacular potpourri of divine chaos. While Painted In Exile might be hard to understand at first, once you carefully listen to their EP titled "Revitalized", you will find yourself spinning in it over and over again.
While the band works on their full length album, which might be produced by Chris "Zeuss" Harris (Hatebreed, Madball, Shadows Fall, The Red Chord), here is their brand new video for their song "Revitalized". The video makes justice to the talent that makes Painted In Exile stand out from today's flood of mediocre bands. So prepare your ears and eyes to be Painted In Exile! \m/
