french thech death boys from exocrine are back with their newest output "maelstrom". while the predecessor "molten giant" dealt with a lava born entity, "maelstrom" is about hostile creatures from the depths of the sea. musically the begins to grow on me. at first i thought it was weaker than "molten giant", now it's on eye-level at least. we'll see where it will lead... unique leader records did a splendid job with this "ocean depths" vinyl edition.
