 Exit State return with their third album in the form of Let's See It All, the worthy follow up to 2011's Black Veins. Jam packed with fresh, punchy catchy riffs and hooks to die for, Let's See It All may very well be the album that see's these UK rockers break through into the big leagues. This album contains eleleven cracking songs, executed to perfection. The vocal's from Rob Bright are truly outstanding, at times reminding me a little of former Voodoo Johnson vocalist, Kevin Bayliss, with some great lyrics throughout. The band are tight and intricate at times, but never at the expense of loosing sight of what the song is all about.As I said all eleven tracks are really strong and showcase just how much the band have grown as song writers since 2010's debut Death Of A Rockstar.
The albums production really is top notch, and wellto be honest this really is a cracking album that should appeal to fans of all types of loud music be it hard rock, heavy metal, alternative, indie, punk or modern rock.
Let's See It All really is a shining example of just how a modern rock album should sound.
A future classic? Could very well be!

"The past 2 years has been a whirlwind for East Lancashire (UK) rockers Exit State. With a successful debut album, a tour in Finland, a video playlisted on Kerrang TV (Lost Beyond Beleif), support slots with Blaze Bayley (Iron Maiden/Wolfsbane), Dave Evans (AC/DC), The Black Mollys, Witchfynde & Black Spiders you could be forgiven for thinking the band has been around for years. However, the early success of their high octane sound has been almost immediate, not least due to their crossover appeal to rock, metal, pop, punk, indie & alternative crowds alike…."
Balck Veins is the lads second full length album, building upon the solid foundations they set with 2010's Death Of A Rockstar debut. It feels like the songs have a slightly harder edge to them this time around, yet I dont see the band loosing any of their crossover appeal. the riffs come thick and fast, the lyrics are excellent, and the melodies really shine here, making Black veins a difficult album not to like!
There is plenty of variation here too, from the riffage of the opening track, Enough Already and Check Out the Crazy, to the gentle melodies of Ten Years Later, the quirky Indie rock feel of Stay and the grinding riffs of the title track Black Veins.
All in a great album from a very promising band, whi I beleive are going to be huge.
The Guys are planning a extensive Uk tour in October to promote the album, Id suggest you get yourselves along to a show and check them out for yourselves!

Very Highly Reconmended!

Exit State - Death Of A Rockstar

Exit State are a great rock band hailing from Lancashire,UK, and have been causing quite a stir on the underground scene for a little while. Death Of A Rockstar is their debut album, and what a debut it is. The band have been compared with the likes of Foo Fighters, Therapy?, and Nickleback, and where as I can see where the comparisons are coming from, Exit State kind of have a sound of their own. Death Of A Rockstar see's the band combine elements of indie / rock and in places metal, to give them a great melodic but powerful sound.

All 9 songs here are of the highest quality, they're full of meaty riff yet always seem to be melodically driven. Some of the stand out tracks (And I could list all 9 tracks here!) include,
'Lost Beyond Belief', which is to be featured on the soundtrack to the forthcoming motion picture Creepsville, 'Dominates Me', title tracks, 'Death Of A Rockstar' and 'Bad Days'.
Exit State seem to have it all, and Death Of A Rockstar is a very impressive debut album.
I think the sky's the limit for this excellent hard working rock band.
This albums scheduled for release 31th May 2010 via King Prawn Records and is VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
