Exumer is a German thrash metal band that was founded in 1985 by vocalist and bass player Mem V. Stein and guitarist Ray Mensh. The band initially made waves in the burgeoning thrash scene with their aggressive debut album "Possessed by Fire" (1986), which became a cult classic among enthusiasts of the genre. Despite their early momentum, Exumer disbanded in 1991 after releasing their second album, "Rising from the Sea" (1987), as the members went on to explore different musical paths and personal endeavors.

Years later, the call of thrash proved too powerful to ignore, and Exumer reunited in 2008. With the return came a renewed vision and fervor for their brand of high-octane thrash metal. The band's third album, "Fire & Damnation" (2012), marked a triumphant comeback, imbued with the raw energy and intensity that had originally put them on the map. Continuing their resurgence, Exumer released "The Raging Tides" (2016), an album that was well-received by fans for its relentless riffs and sharp songwriting. Their latest effort, "Hostile Defiance" (2019), perfectly encapsulates the band's enduring spirit and commitment to the thrash metal genre. Tracks like "King's End" and "Raptor" demonstrate that Exumer has retained their edge and remain as potent as ever, decades into their career.
