Excel is a now-defunct punk/metal fusion band from Venice, California. The band formed in 1983 under the name Chaotic Noise. After or when former drummer Evan Warech left the band, they changed their name to Excel in 1985.
Some members of the band were close friends with Suicidal Tendencies, who is from the same hometown as Excel. Guitarist Adam Siegel contributed the singer Mike Muir's projects Cyco Miko and Infectious Grooves.
Excel released two albums, Split Image (1987) and The Joke's on You (1989), before Siegel joined the ranks with Infectious Grooves in 1990. After five years of silence, the band returned to record their third and final album, Seeking Refuge (1995), and then broke up for good.
In 2003, ex-members of Excel considered legal action against the famous heavy metal band Metallica over the song "Enter Sandman", which they claim borrows heavily from the Excel's song "Tapping Into The Emotional Void", originally included on "The Joke's On You" LP, released in 1989, two years before the release of Metallica's Black Album.
In May 2006, singer Dan Clements joined forces with former No Mercy (American band) singer Kevin "The Jerk" Guercio and former Suicidal Tendencies members Grant Estes, Amery Smith and Louiche Mayorga in the band AgainST.

ach ja, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES und das Umfeld der Band.
weiss nicht, aber ich liebe das. hab einige sachen von SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, NO MERCY (Widespread Bloodshed...Love Runs Red), UNCLE SLAM, INFECTIOUS GROOVES, CYCO MIKO.
Hab grad extra ein paar CDs davon rausgekramt. Uncle Slam find ich nachwievor ziemlich grottig, so richtiger 0815 Thrash... RPK wird sich drüber freun. Die No Mercy Platte ist aber geil (will mir da jemand ein Original abtreten? Hab die nur gebrannt). Wenigstens hab ich beim Rauskramen meine Insult CDs wieder gefunden....
