Excel unenslaved


Seeking Refuge is the third and final album by Excel. It was released in 1995 and is the follow-up to their critically acclaimed album The Joke's on You (1989).

Contents

Some of the material on this album was originally demoed/recorded as early as 1991 while Excel began writing The Joke's on You's follow-up. Due to members being involved in their own activities at the time, Seeking Refuge was set aside for a number of years before finally being completed in 1995. The band shows quite a change in musical style with a stoner metal sound.

Seeking Refuge is also the only Excel album not recorded with their "classic" line-up.

Like other Excel albums, the album is out of print. The only single off this album was "Unenslaved".
