"Whether it's lyrics or riffs or breakdowns, I always make sure that every song has at least one bit that makes you go 'yeeeeah'." It's now 20 years since four teenagers from Melbourne assembled under the name Harlott - chosen largely because it would look good on a black t-shirt. Exsequiis marks the boldest leap forward in their career. Denser, harsher and more confident than ever - a razor-sharp sound picture built on world-class guitar work, relentless momentum and lyrics that cast a jaundiced eye over our bitterly divided world. The death of the gods, delivered by thrash metal artisans in the prime of their lives.
