Exumer Death Mask Messiah CD (Jewel Case, 2026, Metal Blade Records)

Exumer’s Death Mask Messiah is the hard-hitting sixth studio album from the legendary German thrash metal band, released through Metal Blade Records. Marking the band’s first new studio album in seven years, the record delivers a more aggressive and direct approach while maintaining the raw spirit and musical heritage of classic 1980s Teutonic thrash metal.

Across 11 tracks, Exumer unleash razor-sharp guitar riffs, scorching leads, pounding drums, driving rhythms, and Mem V. Stein’s unmistakable vocal attack. Songs including “Death Mask Messiah,” “Blinding Skies,” “Sin Bleeder,” “Eradication,” “Allocated Savagery,” “Serpent,” and “Scorcher” showcase the band's combination of speed, aggression, memorable riffing, and old-school thrash intensity. The album also closes with “Unchained Angel,” a cover of Nasty Savage.

Produced by Dominic Paraskevopoulos and mixed and mastered by Arthur Rizk, Death Mask Messiah combines a powerful modern production with Exumer’s classic thrash-metal identity. Lyrically, the album explores manipulation, false prophets, political division, and social unrest, giving its furious musical attack an equally confrontational edge. Presented as a Metal Blade Records digipak CD, this 2026 release is an excellent addition for collectors and fans of German thrash metal, old-school speed metal, and aggressive 1980s-inspired extreme metal.
