Begrime Exemious

Begrime Exemious is a ferocious black/death metal force hailing from Edmonton, Canada, that’s been conjuring sonic chaos since 2006. Formed by vocalist/guitarist Lee Norland and drummer Derek Orthner, this unrelenting trio (later expanding to a quartet) carves out raw, filth-encrusted anthems blending blistering speed, doom-laden grooves, and lyrics steeped in occult themes and anti-religious venom. With cult-classic releases like *Heretical Serpent Cult* (2013) and *Rotting in the Aftermath* (2020), they’ve cemented their status as underground lifers, collaborating with labels like Dark Descent Records while staying true to their DIY ethos. Known for their primal live shows and unwavering dedication to metal’s darker corners, Begrime Exemious remains a defiant middle finger to polish and pretense.
