Exes For Eyes - Tongues Like Figure Eights (2014)

Formed by ex-Annihilator bassist Dave Sheldon and Endast vocalist James Arsenian, Toronto/Montreal’s Exes For Eyes has recently gained attention for the innovative marketing technique that has surrounded the release of Tongues Like Figure Eights, its second record.Artistically, Tongues Like Figure Eights is less of an innovator than its marketing campaign would suggest. Though competently written and performed, the album is at too many moments reliant on Soilwork’s mid-career moments, and it’s no surprise that Soilwork vocalist Bjorn “Speed” Strid makes an appearance on “Done For Good”. That said, Tongues Like Figure Eights remains a professional and invigorating record that prominently showcases the vast experience that both Sheldon and Arsenian posses in the underground metal industry.
