Exhorder Goes Independent | Rock Music News

Exhorder, the metal pioneers who birthed the power-groove sound, are label-free and thriving — frontman Kyle Thomas calls modern labels “distribution services,” not creative partners. Reunited nine years ago fueled by demand and chemistry, the current lineup of Thomas, bassist Jason VieBrooks, and guitarist Pat O’Brien (who replaced Marzi Montazeri) is united in vision. Their new album “Defectum Omnium” marks their first with O’Brien, while drummer Sasha Horn stepped away for personal reasons — a replacement remains unannounced. Despite lineup changes and industry shifts, Exhorder’s momentum is undeniable, proving independence can fuel their legacy.
