''All Guts, No Glory'' is the fifth full-length album by death metal band Exhumed, and the first since their 2010 reformation. It was released on July 5, 2011, by Relapse Records. Dane Prokofiev of Popmatters said the album is capable of "reminding you why Exhumed were and will continue to be revered as the gods of gore-themed death metal.".〔 The last album to feature bassist Leon del Muerte and guitarist Wes Caley and the only one to feature drummer Danny Walker. ==Background== In an interview conducted shortly after announcing that Exhumed would reform, founding member Matt Harvey remarked, "After a few years off and away from the death metal scene, I feel rejuvenated and ready to hack, maim and kill once again. I wanted this to be a continuation of what the band was doing and was on its way to doing, not a reunion or some weird nostalgia thing." During Exhumed's five-year hiatus, Harvey had "barely played" death metal or grindcore. As a result, when the band reformed, he had to re-learn his songwriting style. According to Harvey, "I sat down one night, cracked open many a beer and listened to stuff from the entire history of the band." In 2010, the band recorded ''All Guts, No Glory''. The album line-up was Matt Harvey on guitars and high vocals, Leon del Muerte on bass and low vocals, Wes Caley on guitar and Danny Walker on drums. The musical approach taken on ''All Guts, No Glory'' was, according to Harvey, intentionally based on the band members' favoured elements of previous Exhumed records: "We all agreed that the period of Exhumed we liked the best was ''Slaughtercult'' and wanted to mix that with the technicality and melody of ''Anatomy''." However, it was Harvey's desire not to "do anything quite as conceptual or heady as ''Anatomy''."〔 In keeping with the desire to diminish the tightly regimented approach of ''Anatomy Is Destiny'', a more "raw and spontaneous" approach was taken with respect to recording the album. "We let shit slide with the guitars that would have been edited on ''Anatomy''", commented Harvey. "We left vocal takes that might not be quite as on-time as they could be, simply to keep the vibe of the song intact...It wasn't a case of contrived regression, but of not over-thinking things".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「All Guts, No Glory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
