The latest from San Jose gore-metallers Exhumed isn’t their usual blood-and-guts orgy but what’s being billed as a concept album—string interludes and all. Chronicling a reported case of serial grave robbery in 19th century Scotland over 12 taut tracks, Death Revenge features rhythm guitarist and co-singer Matt Harvey’s most melodic riffing yet, wide-ranging solos from lead guitarist Bud Burke, and some gruesomely theatrical sound effects, like on “Dead End.” Death Revenge may occasionally leave you longing for the sloppy-nasty groove they perfected on 2013’s Necrocracy, but these guys have pumped serious brains and brawn into the grind-core template.
