Even if the band exists from 2001, Exile after four years decided to record their first self financed work. Definitely this thing depicts to us that this band had worked a lot and hard in order to be satisfied from the result that's why they needed four years in order to give something to us.

"Hours Passed in Exile" is the title of their work and they included ten tracks which are more than forty five minutes in duration. After a small intro, the band gives us a clear picture of what we will hear in the next minutes. 'Blood red ink' starts with a simple but interesting keyboard theme and then the voice of Christoph including all the other instruments fills the room.

So while the band gives us some well written compositions with some very impressive ideas, the still need improvement. They have reached a level that you can understand. They aren't new comers but they did their best in this album. Personally I was impressed by Florian who is the responsible for the keyboards.

Last but not least, the band had a flirt with progressive music, so they added some touches from progressive metal. Generally, the stuff from In Exile isn't only from one kind of metal. They are open minded musicians and you can hear it through their latest work.
