The debut album from this band from Norway.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, synths and vocals.
This band, as so many other Norwegian metal/prog/fusion/jazz bands, comes from Trondheim in the middle of Norway. A couple of the members has been active in some other local bands.... before they formed Excessive.
This album was released through Bandcamp exactly one month ago, on the 25th of December.
The music here is progressive metal.
The band's sound and music is very influenced by Threshold, the band from Great Britain. There are also some extreme metal, symphonic prog, eclectic prog and power metal influences here. Influences heard loud and clear throughout this three quarters of an hour long album.
The vocals are very good and the band does a very good job on the very complex music here.
The music is indeed very complex and dense. It is not easy to grasp the twists and turns of the music here. It is indeed one of the most eclectic, complex pieces of music I have ever encountered in the progressive metal genre.
The music is good though and that makes this an album the progressive metal fans, and indeed those into eclectic prog, should check out. It is a pretty impressive album and I hope we will hear more from this band in the future.
