''The TSO collective is proud to unveil SEALED INTO NONE, the debut album by the Dark Power Doom band EXXÛL. Blending the slow crushing tempos & theatrics of Epic Doom Metal, the faster tempos, soaring vocals and shredding guitars of US Style Power Metal as well as the darker aspects of Black metal, EXXÛL's atypical sound is completely their own.
Originally founded in 2020 under the name of ''Crestfallen'', it took EXXÛL 4 years to find a heavy metal vocalist from their home province of Québec that matched the vision & sound of the album they had written but shelved away for equally long. Upon completing their line-up after a fateful meeting, the word began to spread in the scene. EXXÛL was soon asked to perform a series of shows in Canada including a show with Eternal Champion, to showcase the material from their cassette-only rehearsal demos and their anticipated debut album. These shows made it clear that EXXÛL is not a side project and that the band is eager to showcase their unique sound across the road and abroad.
According to the Perpetual Planes lore and mythology that ties in the lyrics of the bands CHTHE'ILIST, ATRAMENTUS and ZEICRYDEUS to the same lyrical universe as this band, EXXÛL is the name of a tower on the 2nd highest peak of the world, whose bells would be heard across the world to announce the impending end times. The name itself originates from a lyrical excerpt written for ETERNITY’S END in 2018 in which EXXÛL's founder, Defender, originally played in.
Fans of HEXENHAUS, VENI DOMINE, THORNS (NOR), MEMENTO MORI, FATES WARNING, MANOWAR, CRIMSON GLORY, MORGANA LEFAY, SOLITUDE AETURNUS, SCALD and much more would likely be interested in hearing EXXÛL.
