This uncanny Belarusian Death Metal creature will unleash hell in its third studio opus, offering nine independent compositions united by the idea of searching for inner support in an era of turbulence.
Eximperituserqethhzebibšiptugakkathšulweliarzaxułum, the Minsk, Belarus-based Technical/Brutal Death Metal entity whose name is usually shortened to simply Eximperitus, has acquired quite some attention not only for their 51-letter long name, but also for their austere, no shenanigans blend of extreme music. Famously secretive, with their members using pseudonyms like Dave 1 (guitars), Dave 2 (bass), Dave 3 (drums), and potentially Dave 4 (vocals), as they intentionally keep their identities hidden, making it nearly impossible to find personal details and, therefore, essentially making them “the Daves” of Belarusian metal, Eximperitus are unleashing upon humanity their third studio album, titled Meritoriousness of Equanimity, following up on their 2021 sophomore Šahrartu. Containing nine independent compositions united by the idea of searching for inner support in an era of turbulence, the album offers an acid exposure and scourging of social dogmas and morbid tendencies on the ruins of the old world, continuing to pave the band’s dark path which started in the already distant year of 2009.
The album couldn’t have started in a more demented mode than with One Step Long Infinity, an avalanche of vile riffs and blast beats not recommended for the lighthearted; followed by Contemplation of the Plastic Fibers of Perfection at the Second Level of Reality, carrying a beautiful name for a feast of Brutal Death Metal magic while also offering our avid ears razor-edged riffs and those evil guttural vocals we all love so much. Then after the whimsical interlude Twelve Centuries of Triumph of the Third Kingdom… we face Finding Consistency in the Fourth Quadrant of Eternity, where their Blood Incantation side blends with their core brutality and their guitar riffs and solos penetrate deep inside our souls; followed by the absolutely mental The Untimely Fruit of the Unsaid, bringing forward more of the band’s austere, visceral fusion of extreme music sounds, not to mention how heavy and groovy their bass and drums feel.
Golden Chains for the Construction of Individual Greatness is another ruthless explosion of their Technical and Brutal Death Metal madness, offering those demented blast beats perfect for some good slamming inside the pit; and after another ethereal, cosmic interlude entitled Molecular Disintegration of an Unattainable Solitary Will in a Vessel of Wisdom…, we’re treated to the venomous Chalkionic Wandering Among the Wreckage of the Future, where their crying guitars clash with their deep guttural in a striking metallic paradox. And before all is said and done, those uncanny Belarusian metallers bring forth Standing at the Skirt of the Ruins of Human Nature (…on the Other Side of Man and Time), an extensive outro that could have been a bit shorter, and maybe even less experimental, but that still puts an otherworldly ending to the album.
“In times when despair overflows human hearts… when the chasm of strife between civilizations widens… when loyalty to ideologies tears blood ties apart… when the world stands still, poised for the final leap of prolonged self-destruction… We can draw strength solely from internal sources, which are filled only by the multifaceted power of Death Metal…,” commented the band, as cryptic as their own members, and you can be part of their unique metal cosmos by following them on Facebook and on Instagram, by subscribing to their YouTube channel, by streaming their sick creations on Spotify, and of course by ordering their demented new album from BandCamp or from Willowtip Records. Because it doesn’t matter if you have no idea how to pronounce Eximperituserqethhzebibšiptugakkathšulweliarzaxułum – those Belarusian death dealers are among us to crush our damned souls with their music, and their newborn spawn Meritoriousness of Equanimity will surely keep their insanity burning for many years to come, darkly reverberating through the fours corners of the earth.
