Exciter's Oblivion

I have this habit. A song starts playing in my mind/brain, and on most occasions, I have to listen to it. Oliver Sacks must have an answer.

At this moment, I remember Exciter's song Oblivion from the Violence and Force album.The thing is you must listen to Oblivion and then the first full track, Violence and Force. It is a great combination and it is a great speed/thrash metal album.

I liked Exciter better than Metallica

Exciter's Violence and Force blew away after I came to know that the band was three-piece. Exciter is a thrash metal band from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Sample this video:

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."

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