Exhorder's second effort, The Law, pushed the boundaries of their aggressive sound as far as they could, the band managed to radically broaden their dynamic and melodic range -- without losing touch with their core elements. Prime examples include "Soul Search Me," "Unforgiven," and the title track, all of which employ a dizzying array of neck-snapping starts and stops with unprecedented success. Taking things even further, the highly unusual "Un-Born Again" introduces funky guitar licks and slap bass reminiscent of both death-jazz experts Atheist, and funk/metal pioneers Mordred.
