The year is 2012. After 5 years full of alcoholic excess, life-despising meat consumption and the permanent contempt of human dignity, we now all have type 2-diabetes and other contagious diseases. We had to draw the line and process the events as long as our synapses were still able to do that. Flashback: The five headed monster with the name "ONLY DEATH DECIDES" - as part of the new discovery of Karl U. Walterbach (former founder of NOISE RECORDS, discoverer of KREATOR, TANKARD, and more.) – released its brutal germ-throwing EP titled "Scars of Revenge" in 2007. Two years later followed the album “Strangled by Distinction”, which was produced, released and distributed entirely in-house. Through many underground shows all over Germany (including Hamburg, Berlin, Lübeck, Flensburg, Balingen, Marne, Bad Oldesloe, Stade and many more) the band gained more and more attention and managed to finance its own mini-tour (See You Again- Tour 2010), which also included multiple sold-out gigs in Malta. But so the inevitable happened: "ONLY DEATH DECIDES" adipose and thirsty, shattered. Like an overweight, fallen angel the band burst asunder on the rock of mercilessness (of course, this crash was accompanied by an explosion of intestines and cerebral matter, thus that even days later a severe blood mist still lingered over the caldera)... but the pieces of torn-apart flesh twitched yet! The two-year-long, forced time-out - which was ordered by the nursing staff - faded memories of many glorious key moments ... but they never completely disappeared! Memories of support shows for FORBIDDEN, JACK SLATER, EISREGEN, SKINLESS, DEATH BY STEREO, MADBALL, RINGWORM, TIME HAS COME, DEMIA, DEMONICAL, TORTURE KILLER, BURST and many others, as well as the participation in the (back then) biggest indoor festival in Northern Germany, the FUCK CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL came back to us in the form of an angry geyser of carcasses and made our manliness and machismo bulge our trouser again, so that the straightjackets, that had kept us so long from meeting our destiny, started to rip from the crotch and unleashed us once more on the world! A swift throat bite into a by standing grazing livestock also immediately gave us the necessary strength to perform the reincarnation ritual. Nothing would stop the Rebellion now - Thrash Metal was about to conquer the scene again! Naturally, out of fear for outstanding alimony payments everybody knew that our mission had to be accomplished under a new name ... EXIT SMASHED! "New Age Bay Area Thrash" that makes you bang until your neck gets a six-pack! Pack your jacket, pick up your axe and follow us .... "Thrashers of the world unite. Crush violent dancers tonight. Because WE ARE AT WAR with your goddamn scene!" Finest Thrash Metal Since Jesus Died
