Extol, the pioneering death metal band from Oslo, Norway, formed in 1993, gained rapid recognition in the extreme metal scene for their innovative fusion of intricate technicality, melodic sensibilities, and faith-based lyrics.
Over the years, Extol's distinctive style evolved, incorporating elements of progressive metal, black metal, thrash, and avant-garde influences. Undeceived (2000) and Synergy (2003) explored complex song structures, while The Blueprint Dives (2005) took a more avant-garde and progressive rock direction, yet still retaining their metal roots, earning them their first Norwegian Grammy nomination.
Despite lineup changes, Extol remained committed to defying genre conventions. In 2013, they returned with a self-titled album, receiving critical acclaim for its technical prowess and progressive approach, earning global respect for their musicianship. Their enduring legacy continues to inspire new generations of metal musicians, as they now release two freshly composed songs; LABYRINTH OF ILL and EXIGENCY, featuring Christer's return alongside David, Ole, and Peter.
