Reviews For "The Blueprint Dives"
Heavy and crazy

First of all, Extol is really hard to categorize as far as music style. They have a touch of black metal, hardcore and thrash. Each album they put out seems to reach in a new direction. This album is no different. Although it is full of odd time changes, tight musicianship and unique sounds, it's different than their previous stuff. Personally, I love it. I think they are very unique and I highly recommend it to any Extol fan.
