EXTERIOR PALNET

EXTERIOR PALNET was founded in December 2015. After a few months of rehearsals, the skeleton for the first album was ready, and it became clear that the release would take the form of a single song. The debut album, Dorsia, was released in December 2017, representing a 32-minute journey from an atmospheric and raw beginning to more detailed and layered parts in the latter half. Shortly after the release of Dorsia, the band began further developing their sound and working on a second album, Haragma II.

Seven years in the making, Haragma II is a journey through the cosmic and mythological, blending the vastness of space with the timeless weight of ancient lore. Building upon the foundation set by Dorsia, the album pushes Exterior’s sound to new heights—uniting dissonant hooks, powerful ‘wall of sound’ textures, and interconnected song structures into a cohesive whole.

From the apocalyptic visions of Haragma to the cryptic revelations of Zaphnath-Paaneah, the album traverses a spectrum of themes: the fragility of humanity, the alien and the divine, and the eternal struggle to uncover what lies beyond. Behind the Veil and Exoskeletons explore worlds both haunting and surreal, while the epic conclusion, Heracleidae, draws upon the mythic power of Heracles, intertwining cosmic grandeur with the resonance of ancient heroism.
