Fusion metal — a relatively new and unexplored genre in the world of metal. Holland's EXIVIOUS marks a first to truly marry jazz fusion with metal into a coherent new style. Featuring members of legendary U.S. prog band CYNIC and Dutch metallers TEXTURES, EXIVIOUS isn't an over-the-top math metal band and certainly isn't a loungy jazz combo either. But expect everything in between!
With a jazz fusion backbone, EXIVIOUS uses freaky metal riffs to decorate their organic eruption of free improvisations and complex rhythms. Guitarist Tymon comments: "We finally managed to transform a vision I had a long time ago into nine intense and fiery songs. There's an immense amount of information in there that will definitely take more than one spin in your CD player to comprehend!"
The band will release its debut album independently to preserve 100% creative freedom. This is not only evident in their music but also in the artwork. Their self-titled CD will appear in a limited 1,000 numbered copies, each single copy bundled with its own unique artwork.
An mp3 stream of the song "Waves Of Thought" is available on the EXIVIOUS web site.
EXIVIOUS is:
Tymon (CYNIC) - Guitar
Michel Nienhuis (ex-SENGAIA) - Guitar
Robin Zielhorst (CYNIC, ex-BLUE MAN GROUP) - Bass
Stef Broks (TEXTURES) - Drums
Imam dobar osjećaj za ovo - samo da bude manje kao Intronaut i SoP a viÅ¡e kao Yakuza i novi Cynic i Textures i biće to odliÄno.
