Exivious

Exivious is an unsigned Dutch progressive metal/jazz fusion band, featuring and current members of Dutch bands Songaia, Textures, and former members of American band Cynic. So far, they released one self-titled album independently. Exivious incorporate heavy metal riffs with a jazz fusion approach to phrasing and time signatures, complex rhythms and free improvisation. In May 2010, after selling out of their limited edition box, Kruidenier, the band's guitarist, announced that Exivious had disbanded. This came due to differing schedules and commitments that the members were facing individually.
In December 2010, Krudenier and Zielhorst departed from Cynic due to logistical problem with the band that is based half in the US, and half in the Netherlands, reforming Exivious in the process. A new album is set to be recorded in early 2012.
