Siege & Exile deliver the soundtrack of a war underway: the battle between Heaven and Hell fought on Earth.The five band members hail from Gold Country, California, from big farms to trailer parks, all small-town raised. They’re shaped by faith, a hard work ethic, and love of music. Siege & Exile wear masks because pride is a sin, and they’d rather fans focus on the message, not the messenger.Isaiah (vocals), Rafael (bass), Gabriel (lead guitar), Michael (rhythm guitar), and Joshua (drums) grew up listening to their older brothers albums and still play old, burned CDs in beat up pickup trucks on the way to Mass every Sunday.Their debut album, Thus Begins the Eclipse, moves across hard rock and metal styles without losing its center. Each track confronts themes of judgment, mercy, reason, endurance, and what remains when certainty fails.Some might call Siege & Exile scribes of the battle. Pray they’re not the heralds.
