Additional notes
Extol was originally formed in 1993 when brothers Peter (vocals) and Christer (guitar, backing vocals) Espevoll teamed up with David Husvik (drums) and Ole Børud (guitars). In January 1996, they recorded three songs for a Norwegian metal compilation called Northern Lights.
The band works directly with the "New Life Mission Aid", an organization that cares for orphaned children in Kenya, Africa.
