This is Metal at its finest to some. “Cool Trans Metal” as I perceive it. Exitwound is more than a name; it is a statement of sorts and reflects the scar filled journey one embarks on called life. Forging a path through obstacles thrown on the path of light Exitwound has become a sanctuary as I utilized this medium to tell life's story through music. For my efforts I’ve received two nominations at the Native American Music Awards;
1. Debut Artist
2. Best Instrumental Recordings.
And I was one of the presenters for: Best Blues Recording.
Contemporary Metal inspired from the multidimensional expanse where spirit resides, Exitwound is journey that crosses all boundaries and cultures. The theorem that music heals is all too apparent within the music I produce. I attribute my remarkable talent to the Creator and celibate in song. The music is composed from deep within my soul and inspired by my visions. They tell the story of life from all the quarters I have traveled, some good, some bad. Truly Metal, Exitwound is the rumbling storm from the other side and I am the messenger.
With the 2008 Native American Music Awards in my sights I have a new CD, “After The Storm”. And of course, your support is very welcome indeed. Enjoy my tunes at;

Sounding like a cross between Jimi Hendrix, Micky Free and Robin
Trower, Exit Wound's (a.k.a. Paul Underwood (Northern Cheyenne) latest
effort is an instrumental tour-de-force! A magical mixture stunning guitar
work and studio wizardry, The Axeman Cometh's fifteen fantastic tracks will
leave you breathless. The compositions are as well-crafted as the
production values, and the guitar playing is some of the best this reviewer
has heard since Indigenous' Mato Nanji broke on the scene five years ago.
If you like, 'guitar CD's' and hark rock instrumental music, this, 'cool
trance metal' (I'm quoting Paul) is right up your alley! Best moments on
the CD are the anthem-esque ,"Sacred Smoke", the title cut, "The Native
Axeman Cometh" and a marvelously ethereal, "Delusions of Paradise". Great
Stuff!
Absolutely the best instrumental CD I've heard this year, "The Axeman
Cometh" is, 'NAMMY worthy'!

Exitwound's (a.k.a. Paul Underwood) follow-up to his, "The Axeman
Cometh" is pure listening pleasure. This Northern Cheyenne's marvelous
sense of melody and composition continues to evolve and mature with every
release. A bountiful blend of hard rock guitar, studio effects and potent
production, Underwood's music is without-a-doubt some of the best
instrumental music to come out of, 'Indian Country' in a long time. If you
like instrumental music, and you like great guitar work, you need to give
this guy a listen -'cause he's the, 'real deal'!'
