Biography
Oslo, Norway (1993 – 2007, 2012 – present)
The band was formed by drummer David Husvik and guitarist Christer Espevoll, who had been playing together and wanted to start a band. Peter Espevoll became their vocalist. In 1994, bassist Eystein Holm joined the band just before their first gig. Emil Nikolaisen joined as a second guitarist in 1995.
In 1996, they recorded for Norwegian metal compilation, “Northern Lights”. Later that year they recorded “Embraced”, a short demo. Ole Børud, formerly known for his death/doom project Schaliach, soon replaced Nikolaisen, who wanted to give more attention to his other projects. Extol’s debut album, “Burial”, was released in 1997 on Endtime Productions and showcased a death metal sound. It was licenced to the US through Solid State Records and to Japan through Avalon Records. The next year, they released the EP, “Mesmerized”, which featured three industrial remixes of songs from “Burial” by the bands raison d’être and Sanctum. Eystein was replaced by Tor Magne Glidje on bass. “Undeceived” was released two years after “Burial”, and featured a heavier and darker sound. Then Ole left the band, so Tor Glidje switched over to guitar, and John Robert Mjåland joined as bassist.

Hey tell more, is it similar to Blueprint, Synergy or Undeceived/Burial? Or is it yet another style change?
