| Description | EXELOUME are a Thrash Metal outfit from Trondheim in Norway. The band are mostly influenced by American thrash metal from ''85-''89, and old-school death metal from ''89-''92, filling a niche that are scarce in today''s music scene. Founded by Tom ''Welhaven'' Wahl (Anti-Depressive Delivery, Bethzaida, Atrox, Maelström),it took a few false starts to get the members of his choice. But in 2008 Alessandro Elide (Manifest, Griffin) joined together with Andrè Ulriksen and Dag Ole Huseby (bass) and they started rehearsing for their first recording. Late 2008 they started the recording of what would become ''The Longest Shadow''. Tom contacted his good friend from the thrash-combo Imbalance, Harald Eilertsen, to help out with the vocals. Doing most of the recording hither and thither by themselves, the recording finally was completed in September 09. By that time John Wangberg (Griffin, Manifest) had replaced Huseby on bass. Autumn 2009 they found the final piece of the puzzle in Øystein Haltbakk (Pica Fierce) filling in the empty spot as a vocalist. Exeloume now holds a very strong line-up, almost a supergroup of veterans in the Norwegian metal scene. Their first recording ''The longest Shadow'' is four songs of crushing thrash metal that contains lyric themes about terror, serial killers, war and religion. In 2011the band released their crushing full-length debut-album "Fairytale of Perversion" that got high praise for both media and fans. 2012 Exeloume did the very successful Thrash and burn tour in Norway, alongside with Imbalance and Ninth Circle. Voices about Exeloume "...The band, instrumental effort and production are, just like last time, brilliant! Exeloume have taken a quantum leap forward, it''s a whole new groove to this and the three tracks tell their each distinctive musical story... We''re looking forward to the forthcoming album" -- Norway Rock Magazine -- "With their thrashy death, or deathy thrash, incredible technique and cool transitions with great insight, this was extremely fun... They looked good live, and really showed us a terrific performance". -- Icon Music Mag-- "How does this band sound? At times fucking great, if you ask me! (…) Exeloume are tight almost too the absurd, but as the same time I think it''s playful enough so that the technical aspect don''t'' overshadow the music-feel. Exeloume are both catchy and fuzzy and they deserve more attention." -- Scream Magazine -- |
