I'm very excited for new XE, like always! I like how unpredictable XE can be, despite hearing some others say it all sounds the same. I remember the split with Reek Of The Unzen Gas Fumes, which is quite great! XE side was like Mannerheim's meeting with Hitler under some distorted noise, which is vastly different than say Purity Through Fire, my own personal favorite, which felt like a showcase version of XE as a whole and what XE can bring! That would be my XE recommendation to those not so familiar with the project, that one seems to be the magnum opus in my opinion and enough varied material, enough feedback and enough vocal screaming command to get the full scope of whether this is for you or not. The more recent collaboration work with Zyklon SS takes on a whole new kind of beast, a good proper mix of old school PE and Industrial, so in my opinion the project is absolutely essential and easily one of the best things out there today and so therefore, I cannot wait to hear the new XE album!
