Exivious From: Noord-Brabant, Netherlands   Discography: “Exivious” (2009)   Exivious is a fusion-metal band featuring members of Cynic and Textures. The band released their first album “Exivious” independently in digipack limited to 1000 numbered copies with their own unique artwork. Exivious is:   Tymon- guitar Michel Niehuis- guitar Robin Zielhorst- bass Stef Broks- drums   I never heard of “fusion-metal” before Exivios- in fact I imagine they made the term up to suit their newfound hybrid baby. Not smoky enough to be jazz, not lazy enough to be lounge, not aggressive enough to call themselves metal, and yet they are all of the above. Exivious isn’t on another level - Exivious is another level. This is for open-minded fans of progressive metal, or those that enjoy the sounds of Animals as Leaders.   Links: www.myspace.com/exivious
