Exiled From Agartha

Exiled From Agartha is the vision of Michael Low (ex-Thy Art Is Murder), a solitary architect of technical death metal, forging uncompromising sound from the depths of the abyss. Written and produced entirely by Low, the project brings together a rotating cast of accomplished vocalists and musicians, each contributing their own intensity to compositions conceived and constructed in isolation. The first strike came in November 2023 with “Bleeding the Leech,” featuring Yasmine Liverneux — a declaration of intent built on precision, aggression and technical mastery. Collaborations with Taylor Barber and Johnny Ciardullo followed, each release pushing further into the extremes of modern death metal. The name draws inspiration from Agartha, the mythical civilisation hidden beneath the Earth's surface. From this imagined exile emerges music sharpened like obsidian: intricate, relentless and unflinching in its pursuit of transformation through extremity. The latest album, The Cost of Humanity, marks the next chapter in that evolution, delivering crushing riffs, intricate arrangements and an uncompromising vision of modern extreme metal. Every note and every strike carries Low's singular creative identity — music that honours the underground while pushing beyond its boundaries. Exiled From Agartha is not a band. It is a descent.
