EXTOL Announce New Members

September 8, 2004

Norwegian progressive thrash/death metallers EXTOL have announced the addition of guitarists Tor Glidje and Ole Halvard Sveen to the group's ranks.

"After our two guitarists (Ole and Christer) left the band in February this year, we pretty much found ourselves standing on bare ground in the search for new, dedicated members, but also in the direction to take musically," the band write on their web site. "The vision of the band burned stronger than ever, and so we needed guitarists and songwriters who were willing to give their all for EXTOL and that would fit into the band on a more personal level as well.

"Tor already contributed in EXTOL on bass and guitar throughout the 'Undeceived' era, and both he and Ole Halvard are considered the masterminds behind the black metal cult act LENGSEL and the super-energic rock-band GANGLIÓN," the band write on their web site. "We are deeply honored to have them in our unit and hereby we welcome them into the EXTOL family."

"The new lineup has proven very successful so far, as we have been working closely together the last five months on EXTOL's fourth full-length album [tentatively titled 'Gloriana']. We are currently finding ourselves in Antfarm Studio in Denmark, where we are mixing the new material and adding the final touch to the album."
