Exises

The Dutch band Exises first formed in the late seventies and went through the typical lineup and style changes before landing a record contract with Megaton for their self-titled debut in 1986. It is claimed that the album is the first rock CD released in Holland. Exises is an enjoyable hard rock/metal album, commercially accessible yet still with a heavy edge (fellow Dutchmen Highway Chile is a reasonable comparison), Due to label issues the band went dormant soon after the album's release, and after some time work was started on the followup album Reternity, a space rock concept album no less. For various reasons the album took forever to finish, finally seeing the light of day in 1996.
