EXIVIOUS

The only output currently available from Dutch band Exivious is this two track sampler from 2001, which can be downloaded from their website.

With a line up consisting of guitars, drums and vocals, the opportunities for variation are limited, but the band do show instrumental proficiency. The music is progressive metal, straying very much towards the death metal of OPETH and ANATHEMA. The vocals are of the growling variety, which I have to say do not appear to these ears at all. It's a pity, since behind those vocals, the music is enjoyable if unremarkable.

It is difficult to see what the band hoped to achieve with these two brief tracks. They are hardly original, and lack the dynamics required to make an initial impression.

Band leader Tymon Kruidenier has indicated recently that these songs are no longer representative of Exivious, and has posted samples of more recent songs he has been working on with a revised line up.

As mentioned above, these songs are available for free download, unless you are a lover of all things metallic and death metal related, they can safely be passed by.
