News: Exoneration Unleashes New Single and Lyric Video – ‘Basilisk’
There’s something slithering underground… and it’s armed with brutality. Exoneration has just dropped a crushing new single and lyric video for “Basilisk” (feat. Candlebearer), and it’s a whole vibe. Venomous, brutal, and razor-focused. Released through Rottweiler Records, “Basilisk” is the latest taste of their upcoming debut full-length Monuments To Nothing, and it’s clear these guys didn’t come to play nice.
Blending deathcore, metalcore, and djent with the precision of a seasoned hit squad, Exoneration crafts metal that hits hard—but thinks harder. Their sound isn’t just heavy for heavy’s sake. There’s intent behind every riff, and lyrical depth for those willing to go below the surface.
The new lyric video, designed by Heaven’s Metal’s own Seth Metoyer, brings that lyrical punch to life with grit and atmosphere, matching the band’s raw intensity. It’s a visual feast layered with apocalyptic flair and aggressive typographic rhythm, punctuating the track’s spiritual and existential tension.
And let’s not sleep on the guest feature, Candlebearer brings an extra dimension of menace that pairs perfectly with the serpentine ferocity of the track. “Basilisk” feels like an exorcism and a war cry all at once.
If you’re a fan of bands who take sonic risks while still honoring the foundations of extreme music, Exoneration is one to watch.
Stream “Basilisk (feat. Candlebearer)” on all platforms now, and get ready for the full album Monuments To Nothing, coming soon to test the limits of your speakers… and your soul.
