I don't know how many people really remember Exciter, Canadian thrash metal pioneers. I still like listening to their 'Violence and Force' (1984) album that has great speed metal stuff all over it. The line-up then was Dan Beehler (Drums and vocals), John Ricci (lead guitar) and Allan James Johnson (bass).



The forthcoming album from Exciter is titled "Thrash Speed Burn".. Blabbermouth says the band has added "Kenny "Metal Mouth" Winter" to the band and was blown away by the "...three-and-a-half-octave range, delivered with tremendous intensity and conviction."

To watch a video clip of their new song, click here.

Exciter currently is Kenny Winter (vocals) John Ricci (guitars), Rob Cohen (bass),
Rick Charron (drums).
