SOLACE IN EXILE “New Acquaintances … And Absent Friends” /CD/

The debut full-length studio album by Australian Progressive Metal/Rock band.
Solace In Exile show enormous potential, with their stylistic Progressive Metal and intricate musicianship shining through under the direction of bass guitarist and lead songwriter Mike Lambeth. 
"New Acquaintances… And Absent Friends" sounds influenced by Soundgarden, Anthrax, Disturbed, Black Sabbath and more. The songs on "New Acquaintances…" range in style from Ayreon-style [rogressive exploration (“The Jigsaw Conspiracy”) through to Anthrax-inspired riffing (“Justified”) and even a touch of Faith No More’s spiky, bass-led belligerence (“Insinuate”). 
After being number One on the Reverbnation’s Metal Charts, Solace In Exile are currently in the studio recording their new album, described as “Heavier, Faster And Darker”.
CD includes 32-page booklet.
