"Extol means to exalt, to lift up what you give glory to, and that's what's we're all about. We want to give God all the glory with our lives and with our music." - Peter Espevoll (vocals).
Extol is a Christian progressive extreme metal band from Bekkestua, Norway that formed in 1993.
Paralysis is the band's second EP, released only in Sweden in 2001 by Endtime Productions.Paralysis was the band's last record on that label as they were signed to Century Media afterwards. It was also the band's last album to feature their technical and melodic death metal style.
The track, "Shadow of Death" is a cover of the pioneering Christian technical thrash metal group Believer's song from the 1989 album Extraction from Mortality. The song indicated Extol's stylistical change that followed on the 2003 album Synergy.
The songs on this EP were added as bonus tracks for Century Media's re-release of Undeceived.
In 2007, the band announced they were splitting up to work on separate projects. They are known for playing a variety of different styles of metal which include progressive death metal, melodic death metal and thrash metal. They are mainly described as a progressive / melodic death metal band since they gained their popularity primarily through their earlier works in that genre.
