Excurses has been a hidden gem in the Christian scene for quite some time. Although they
only delivered one EP, it is quite possibly one of the best efforts for an EP I have
heard. This EP is an onslaught of awesome guitars, great drums, and vocals that
are very unique, and extremely haunting. The band seems to have called it quits,
and therefore this release has become extremely hard to find.
The first song, which is the title track, is very catchy and one of my favorites on the
release. There was a video made for this track as well, which is pretty neat. All
of the tracks on this release caught my attention but the other one that stuck
out the most to me was Aurora, showing off exceptional musical skills. Musically,
just everything about this release grabs me, it is top notch. Its a shame there will
be no more.
I highly suggest that if you ever have an opportunity to get this, that you jump on it,
it is well worth the money you will pay, and is a nice gem in Christian metal history.
If not, then they do have a myspace page, although it is dormant, that you can hear most
of the songs at.
