About Exitwound Sometimes life events have a way of changing people. In 2002, that is what happened to Paul Underwood, creator of EXITWOUND. Standing at a cross road in his life he realized the gift he was born with and the potential of using it. The changes he made in his life and with the creation of his music brought about many changes for him both personally and professionally. The music of EXITWOUND is filled with raw emotion which evolved during the healing of old wounds for Paul. His music is called âœCool Trance Metalâ which many have compared to Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Robin Trower and Micki Free, yet has set a standard of his own and the world of heavy metal has began taking notice. His first album âœThe Native Axeman Comethâ in 2006 was a huge hit when first released. It was submitted to âœThe Native American Music Awardsâ ( nammys ) For âœDebut Artist of the Yearâ, âœBest Instrumental Recordingâ for The Native Axeman Cometh, âœBest Rock Recordingâ for The Native Axeman Cometh, âœBest Producerâ for The Native Axeman Cometh, âœRecord of the Yearâ for The Native Axeman Cometh, âœSong of the Yearâ for Looking Through the Eagle Eyes, and âœSongwriter of the Yearâ for The Native Axeman Cometh. He was officially nominated for âœDebut Artist of the Yearâ and âœBest Instrumental Recordingâ for 2007. He was also a guest presenter for âœBest Blues category at the 2007 Nammys. Paul was also one of the national advisory members of The Nammys in 2007 and 2008. His most recent album âœAfter the Stormâ like his first has steadily been gaining attention within the music industry, fans and other musicians. He is currently exploring the possibility of recruiting other musicians for a small 2010/2011 tour to coincide with the release of some new music. We expect EXITWOUND will break out within âœmainstreamâ America at any time and it will be a refreshing welcome to the heavy metal world. When not working on his music or performing he works with the elderly and children within his community where he and his wife have taken in some of the children as their own. Paul Underwood is Northern Cheyenne residing in Billings, Montana. 2007 "Debut Artist of the Year" Nominee 2007 "Best Instrumental Recording" of the Year Nominee 2008 "Best Male Artistâ Nominee 2009 " WINNER: 2009 Silver Arrow Award
