Album Review:

"Left in Shards" is a ten track album, basically thrash but with many modern elements that give it a unique identity. Worked in a thrash rhythm, which does not remind us of the old-fashioned thrash that we are used hearing so far. EXA in a unique way have managed to maintain their identity as a thrash band but frame their music with a modern style so masterfully that they evolve it taking it to the next level as a new generation. Amazing album that will not leave any metal fan unmoved.

Excellent! 9.5/10
