Rockin Ryan and I were heading to the main stage to cover a set and we were running by the Ernie Ball stage.

Allow me to introduce you to a band that I just learned about, Exorcism. This international heavy doom metal band recently released a video for their song, Higher and it just kicks ass! These guys are awesome and I just learned of them this morning after checking out a post on our Facebook page. I love their sound which is described as heavy metal but definitely has some straight up hard rock in there for everyone to enjoy. The guitars are fierce, vocals are powerful and searing, and the song is invigorating. Check it out here: The video was directed and produced by Michael Vetter of Menschbilder Photo-Art, this June at Majorca in Spain. The song is off of their album, I am God which was released on in April 2014. Exorcism is Csaba Zvekan on Vocals, Joe Stump on Guitars, Lucio Manca on Bass and Garry King on Drums.
