Speaking about the new song, Vinnie La Bella says, ““My Time” was the first song I submitted to the band. It instantly brought out the best in all of us and was the initial spark which served as fuel for the rest of the record. I wrote the music for this song in 2010, and I always felt this one could be the opener. In my mind, it is the bridge that connects our past to our future.”
The New Orleans natives made their long-awaited return last year with a string of reunion shows and festival appearances, and now are launching a full-on comeback with the impending release of Mourn The Southern Skies. Recorded by Duane Simoneaux at OCD Recording and Production and working with producer Jens Bogren (AMON AMARTH, OPETH, SEPULTURA) at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden for mixing and mastering, EXHORDER is armed with more fury and vigor than bands half their age, concocting an intoxicating amalgam of old school thrashers and groovers blended with a modern, mature approach.
