The band comments:
“The album weaves it’s way through the life’s melancholy, braving the endless sea and the dangers of deep waves and shipwrecks. The cogs of the perpetual motion machine are always moving and unwanted people are on the prowl. The vessel’s purifying flames are fading, but one must sail on.”

BIOGRAPHY:
Exision is a Groove/Alternative metal band founded in 2017, known for their energetic live shows and colourful social media updates.

The band includes Joonas Kataja, the man of thousand voices and also the main lyricist of the band.

Bassist Jere “AV” Ala-Varvi, a song composing machine and the main song writer who brings in so much new material nearly every week that it has to be poured into other projects as well.

The rhythmical foundation, Tapio Haverinen makes sure that the capturing drum beats keep the crowd going.

The groove continues with the rhythm guitarist Nico Välkkilä‘s iron grip and high-flying lifestyle.

The lead guitarist Jarkko Oksman can also be held responsible for the song writing and composing. He stretches chords placing the cherry on top when putting the songs together.

The songs get their final form and polishing with the teamwork from the entire band by getting flavour from politics, movies and games. The band also doesn’t shy away when it comes to breaking the barriers of different music genres.

Finnish groove/alternative metal band Exision released the first single Persona Non Grata from their upcoming second studio album ‘Uhreina Ajassa’. The album is set to be released on February 20th 2025 via Inverse Records. This single is featuring vocalist Jesse Salo from Garden of Stone. 

LISTEN Persona Non Grata on streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/exision-persona

The band comments:
“The black sheep of the group or a cornered mutt, the crown of persona non grata is not easy to bear… But someone must always be crowned. The crown bearer must decide for themselves whether they measure their status in gold or mud.” 

BIOGRAPHY:
Exision is a groove/alternative metal band formed in 2017, known for their energetic live performances and colourful social media updates.

The band’s line-up includes vocal nightingale Joonas Kataja, who has written almost all of Exision’s songs. Bassist Jere Ala-Varvi is the ultimate songwriter, producing so much new material almost weekly that his desk drawer has had to be cleared for other projects.

Tapio Haverinen, the mainstay of the rhythms, keeps the drums pounding and the crowd moving. Nico Välkkilä, who enjoys an iron-fisted attitude and a flighty lifestyle, stands guard on the bass. The lead guitar is carried by Jarkko Oksman, who also does the songwriting and puts the finishing touches on the songs.

The songs are polished to their final form by the band members, and the original music draws its influences from politics, movies, games and other music, regardless of genre.
