Biography

 

“𝙓𝙚𝙣𝙤 𝙞𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙧, 𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙧, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙧𝙚. 𝘼𝙙𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙮𝙢𝙥𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙘 𝙈𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙅𝙖𝙯𝙯 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙭 𝙞𝙨 𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚; 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙨 𝙨𝙤 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜”. – Metal Zenith

Xeno is a progressive metal band from Middelburg / Amsterdam, The Netherlands, that mixes extreme-sounding ingredients with genre-defying passages. Combined with inspirational lyrics drawn from an array of philosophical and personal subjects, Xeno creates a unique storytelling atmosphere to engulf and immerse the listener. The music itself is influenced by bands like Periphery, Tesseract, Opeth, Plini, Persefone and Porcupine Tree but also Haken, Leprous and Lamb of God.

‘Sojourn’ came out in October 2020 during the pandemic. The album was released by Spanish label ‘Art Gates Records’, and was received very well. Critics and listeners agreed, this was one of the best progressive metal albums of the year:
“If you are looking for something fresh in the genre of Progressive Metal, give XENO your time, because you will not be disappointed!” – Metal Temple

Anyone who has seen Xeno live will agree that the band gives one hell of a show. With powerful vocals, riffs, instrumental mastery and the stage energy to match, there is no denying the sheer force of Xeno on stage. This is only one of the many reasons that led to sharing the stage with bands like Voivod, Carach Angren and Spoil Engine, to name a few.

Their latest EP, ‘Reconstruction’, was released in November 2022 through Art Gates Records. On this EP Xeno revisited their first album, ‘Atlas Construct’ (2016), and rewrote three songs in their new style as a tribute to their past. ‘A clean slate, to create: the Perdition purges all’.
“With ‘Reconstruction’, Xeno sets the bar for prog metal very high. This is not an EP you play while having lunch, it requires some attention to appreciate and absorb its many ingredients” – Rock Portaal

Xeno is eager, ambitious and ready to show their musical muscles to the world!
