Hey fellas, check out my band Exivious, featuring members of Cynic and Textures.
Let me know what you think!

http://www.exivious.net

Biography:

Fusionmetal - A relatively new and unexplored genre in the world of metal. Exivious marks a first to truly marry jazzfusion with metal into a coherent new style. Featuring members of legendary US prog band CYNIC and Dutch metallers TEXTURES.

With a jazzfusion 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 9 intense and fiery songs!"

The band released the album independently to preserve 100% creative freedom. This is not only evident in their music but also in the artwork. Their self titled debut appeared in a limited 1000 numbered copies, each single copy bundled with its own unique artwork.

Exivious is:
Tymon (Cynic) – guitar
Michel Nienhuis (ex-Sengaia) – guitar
Robin Zielhorst (Cynic) – bass
Stef Broks (Textures) – drums

Happy to announce:
Our Exivious' debut album is finally available through digital distribution. It's already up on iTunes and will soon be available through all major online music stores.

Sorry for the shameless promotion but I know there's some people here who like the band. And being an unsigned band we're responsible for all promotion Wink

No Rob, it is really alright. Actually, if you would like to, I bet many people would like to get a copy of the album for reviewing purposes, kind of like myself. EmbarrassedLOL
 
If you make a thread about it, people will eventually appear and ansk for having the album to write a review about it. You should really try it! Thumbs Up

Below text is from The website.
 
Exivious is no more


Dear Exivious community,

For the first time since the release of our debut album back in May of 2009 I'm afraid we have to bring some really sad news. After careful consideration we decided to officially pull the plug on Exivious.

It's not a secret that this band and the album we released last year are very dear to me personally, but also to the rest of the band who put in the best their talent and creativity had to offer to create something really unique. But besides our personal experience, we feel all of you out there who supported us the past year are part of our Exivious community as well and as such you guys deserve a proper explanation of what's happening.

We're in a situation right now where we are simply unable to give Exivious the attention and love we believe it deserves. All four of us are completely consumed by other activities and it doesn't seem like this is going to change anytime soon. So instead of slowly letting our beloved band bleed to death, we rather put it to sleep ourselves.

In retrospect, we were completely blown away by the overwhelmingly positive response from both our listeners but also the press who reviewed our album. Never did we expect to get such a warm and enthusiastic reaction to our crazy music. With this in mind we'd like to thank all of you who supported us by picking up a copy of our album in the past year!

As most of you know we started things off by offering a luxurious limited edition of which we only printed a thousand copies. We're happy to announce we're sold out! The digipack version of our album is still available through our website and a select group of retailers.

Last but not least, we'd like to end this sad message with some good news. For the first time in Exivious history we're offering a t-shirt in our online shop which features the artwork of our debut album! Pre-orders are available in the shop section on this website.

Yours sincerely,
Tymon
Exivious

The best "heavy metal fusion" album I have ever heard!  Maybe they will reform or write more stuff in the future.... until then, maybe their influence will bleed over into future Cynic recordings....  Clap
