Lyrics: Amidst the grave of existential plight My faith in rags, uncertain sight The queries loom, unanswered still As I navigate this labyrinth of ill Though misgivings abide My denial reside My heart in pain, a flicker of hope remains Throughout the night, throughout the fire I will not change, I´ll be your silent guide Patience, come to my side Come be patient, come to my side Patience, my guiding light As I wander the uncertain night Throughout the night I will not change I´ll be your guide Fervor lost, my heart bereft In the blustering of doubt and despair I've lost my grasp on what was just Yet a glimmer of deliverance is here Though misgivings abide My denial reside Though my path may waver, and I may stray Love and community, will lead the way In the embrace of compassion, I shall find peace Hope and unity, shall never cease

Exigency 04:31
Lyrics: Crisis, frequent extremes Increased mortality Damage to ancient structures Weakened resilience in the community of interacting organisms Evolving pressure from tainting the natural ways Of the blameless and pure Human infection Viral zoonotic and vector-borne diseases Escalating pressure from tainting the natural ways Of the blameless and pure Evolving pressure, exploitation of old Slowly abandoning truth Tell me that you will draw a line Don't say that you will compromise Altering the distribution and abundance of species Increasement of pest and invasive breeds Severe droughts and toxic waters Tell me that you will draw a line Don't say that you will compromise

about

10 years after their last self-titled album, Extol has returned to unleash to new melodic death metal tracks: Labyrinth of Ill and Exigency.

And they pick up right where they left, bringing forth passionate, energetic and technical metal.

“Labyrinth of Ill has definitely renewed my faith in Extol and our ability to play rock music once again. Who doesn’t wanna go to church when they hear the "Patience" passages play ping pong with Ole's guitar solo? Brutal, but at the same time disturbingly cozy.”
– David Husvik
