CYNIC, TEXTURES Members Unite In EXIVIOUS www.BraveWords.com has received the following press release:
"
EXIVIOUS marks a first to truly marry jazz-fusion with metal into a coherent new style. Featuring members of legendary US 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 jazzfusion backbone Exivious uses freaky metal riffs to decorate their organic eruption of free improvisations and complex rhythms. 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."
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 album will be released in May 2009. Check out the new track, 'Waves Of Thought' on their official
MySpace page.
Exivious is:
Tymon (Cynic) – guitar
Michel Nienhuis (ex-SENGAIA) – guitar
Robin Zielhorst (Cynic, ex-BLUE MAN GROUP) – bass
Stef Broks (Textures) – drums
