Power, anger, and aggression! These words best describe the 4 piece heavy metal band from Mobile, Alabama; Excessum. These young men are on a mission and refuse to let anything get in their way. This is something that Mobile figured out very quickly. Rather than focusing on a trend, Excessum strives to be unique and dominate each city they play in, which has allowed them to turn their local music scene upside down.

Since hitting the scene three years ago, Excessum has been disgusted with the lack of metal enthusiasm in Mobile. So, they decided to show the rest of the country their music and have played in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, North & South Carolina, Virginia, Delaware and New York. The aggravation also fueled their determination to record two CDs, which both offer something different to listeners. While both albums have their own unique style, they both share a combination of thrash metal acts such as Slayer, Exodus, and Dark Angel; the power and groove of bands like Pantera and Exhorder; and even some of the technicality heard in bands such as Death. Lyrically, the songs cover many different topics but it musically shows listeners one thing, this band is a force to be reckoned with. These two releases have allowed Excessum to become an established band in their local scene, and every city they have played in.

Excessum is not looking to become the next Pantera or Metallica. They are more focused on proving to the world that they can write and perform heavy metal music. Although the band has many characteristics that make them original, it is their passion and determination that has allowed them to accomplish all that they have in such a short period of time, with plenty more to come.
