Invisible Oranges Presents: Old Wounds and Exalt on Tour

Core crushers Old Wounds and Exalt are hitting the road and we’re happy to help get the word out. They’ve dubbed this run the Death Projection Tour 2014 after Old Wounds’ forthcoming EP. The terrific two-fer will be rolling around the East Coast come September. Check out the full list of dates and locations below.

Old Wounds continue to surprise by pepping up metallic hardcore for this decade. The New Jerseyan quartet is laden with skills the older guard didn’t have at their disposal, jamming with a practiced precision while cutting away the fat. What’s left is tight and explosive, a memory of yesteryear made lean and mean by hindsight. And, best of all, Old Wounds keep growing, now amplifying their attack under the wing of Good Fight Music. New EP Death Projection is set for release via Good Fight on September 16. Preorders are now available.

Old Wounds picked a perfect partner with Kitchener, Ontario’s Exalt. The quintet rages, re-energizing hardcore and metalcore stand-bys and making them shine again. Exalt excavate a tradition that has its share of neat riffs, finding the neatest ones to reconstruct to their liking. But what’s really impressive is the outfit’s knack for flow. Some core lags, like a DJ that doesn’t know how to beatmatch. Exalt’s sections — be they thrashy rippers or big breakdowns — coalesce into a greater whole. In the end, you don’t get a bullet list of riffs, you get damn good songs. Really, really angry songs.

Live? Well, as you can see, the stage is Old Wounds and Exalt’s natural habitat. They bring it. This one is going to be fun.
