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 will release 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 will appear in a limited 1000 numbered copies, each single copy bundled with its own unique artwork.



Press

"Fusion, jazz, rock, metal, those labels are rather obsolete in the case of Exivious. The music tells a story of its own with mesmerizing beauty and intense depth."

"It is an incredible album which emanates class and skill. I would recommend this to any open-minded music fan, regardless of genre tastes and I hope it will shoot to an important place in your collection and your heart as did with mine."

"They layer, they inspire, they blew my mind and leave me wanting more. Let's hope these guys don't fade away into obscurity like so many great technical metal bands of their ilk, although Exivious is obviously on another level all together in comparison to the majority of so-called techmetal of today."

"The band tells its story through a mix of jazzy guitar parts, fretless bass licks, complex rhythms, progressive metal en free improvisation. Amazingly skillful composed and performed with great virtuosity, without making it needlessly difficult for the listener to grasp."

"This is something new, something unique, it pushes the envelope of the music scene in general."

"When listening to this album, one should be expecting a wild ride through a plethora of experimental heavy metal songs, with many mind-numbingly complex riffs, and beautiful and surreal solos played elegantly by Tymon of Cynic and Michel Nienhuis, of Sengaia fame."

"Guys, let me say, that shit is HOT! Especially the band name Exivious. More like SEXivious oh yeah."

Thanks for accepting our friend request. First of all I didn't Jaco Pastorious had come back to the living and is know playing in a progressive metal band in the Netherlands. In other words, Nice bass playing. It is so nice when a metal band has a great bass player and a drummer. I like the music. I definitely hear the Cynic influence, but you guys are orginial no doubt about it. Looking forward to listening more! If you get a chance check-out our music and page. We are a progressive metal/ hard-core band with influences such as Meshuggah, The Dillenger Escape Plan, and Animals As Leaders. Keep up the good work! Let us know if you ever tour the USA.

Thanks Sean

Tymon, zorg er nou a.u.b. eens voor dat jullie weer wat optredens doen met Cynic in NL, kun je mooi wat tijd proberen te vinden om shows met Exivious te doen, want het zou doodzonde zijn naar mijn mening om dit niet (meer) live te zien. Ik wacht nog steeds met spanning af! Groeten vanuit jullie straatje in Tilburg :>
