In the end of year 2000 a band was formed, by previous guitarist Nomaed Dominus and current vocalist Ilia. At that time they were called "Dark Suicide". Later in the end of 2001 summer the name was changed to "Excessum".
In the begining, Nesly (guitarist) played with the band, but later he was replaced by Nomaed's brother - Arie. At that time the band started taking the issue of playing and advancing seriously, and started to look for a drummer and a bassist.
After posting many "Wanted" notes over famour metal forums, and sticking posts on walls and trees in places where the metal people hang around, eventually Maor (Bass) and Itamar (Drums) joined the band.

At the middle of 2002, Nomaed, one of the founders of the band had to quit due to lack of time. The replacement came fast and it had good quallity, for it was Leon, the former Vocalist/Guitarist of the Blackmetal band Arafel!
Due to lack of interest in playing drums, Itamar left the band half year afterwards. The replacement for his was Nadav, but he left the band after few months of playing. The next replacement for the drummer was Dor, and he played with the band for 2 month. In that time the band recorded a song ("Fake Shadow") in the "Chaos" studio in Tel-Aviv, which will be released in Israeli Metal Compilation, sometime in the close future. Unfortunatly, Dor had to leave too, and currently, Nadav is playing with Excessum again for the gigs.

The first gig came at the 23rd June 2003, in the Asylum club in Tel-Aviv. The band played with another 4 bands (Nightshit, Nature's Elements, Dagor Dagorath, Deadlock), and received the best feedbacks about that night!
