There\u2019s something slithering underground\u2026 and it\u2019s armed with brutality. Exoneration<\/a><\/strong> has just dropped a crushing new single and lyric video for \u201cBasilisk\u201d (feat. Candlebearer), and it’s a whole vibe. Venomous, brutal, and razor-focused. Released through Rottweiler Records, \u201cBasilisk\u201d is the latest taste of their upcoming debut full-length Monuments To Nothing<\/em>, and it\u2019s clear these guys didn\u2019t come to play nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blending deathcore, metalcore, and djent with the precision of a seasoned hit squad, Exoneration crafts metal that hits hard\u2014but thinks harder. Their sound isn\u2019t just heavy for heavy\u2019s sake. There\u2019s intent behind every riff, and lyrical depth for those willing to go below the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new lyric video, designed by Heaven\u2019s Metal\u2019s own Seth Metoyer<\/a>, brings that lyrical punch to life with grit and atmosphere, matching the band\u2019s raw intensity. It\u2019s a visual feast layered with apocalyptic flair and aggressive typographic rhythm, punctuating the track\u2019s spiritual and existential tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And let\u2019s not sleep on the guest feature, Candlebearer brings an extra dimension of menace that pairs perfectly with the serpentine ferocity of the track. \u201cBasilisk\u201d feels like an exorcism and a war cry all at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a fan of bands who take sonic risks while still honoring the foundations of extreme music, Exoneration is one to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stream \u201cBasilisk (feat. Candlebearer)\u201d on all platforms now, and get ready for the full album Monuments To Nothing<\/em>, coming soon to test the limits of your speakers\u2026 and your soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
