BIOGRAPHY
XUL is a five piece group based out of Vernon, British Columbia, Canada, following in the footsteps of bands such as: Behemoth, Dissection, and Immortal, XUL have left the beaten path and set out to forge their own brand of Blackened Death Metal.
An energetic and interactive live performance – with crushing rhythms seamlessly coalescing into atmospheric passages, accompanied by punishing percussion waves and subtle vocal harmonies – expands upon the previously established essence of the sub-genre. With songs reminiscent of war-torn landscapes, destructive human nature and evil intention, XUL has captivated audiences and garnered positive reviews, and on June 16th 2012, released their first full length album, entitled “Malignance”.
Driven by determination and a diverse accumulation of musical comprehension, XUL has toured Western Canada, as well as proven themselves worthy to share the stage with bands such as: Obscura, Exhumed, ABSU, Vreid, Kampfar, Woods of Ypres, Macabre, Withered, Cephalic Carnage, Archspire, Skeleton Witch, Beyond Creation, 3 Inches of Blood, Origin, Cryptopsy, Gorguts and Pallbearer.
A whirlwind of extremity, ferocity, and mind altering textural insanity, British Columbia's Xul return to pummel and defile any and all in its path. Dark melodies converge with old school flavors and signature Canadian technical prowess in a beautifully chaotic sonic assault. Consider the bar raised.
Formed in 2008, XUL look to capitalize on the critical acclaim of their 2015 EP, "Extinction Necromance", with their signature blend of intense technical blackened death metal reminiscent of seminal.
In anticipation of XUL's 2nd full length album to come in 2016, REDEFINING DARKNESS RECORDS reissued XUL's debut album, "Malignance" (previously self-released in 2012), with new artwork from Remy Cuveillier (Headsplit Design), remaster by Ken Sorceron (Abigail Williams), and an unreleased bonus track.
XUL is actively seeking shows to support the release of EP 'Extinction Necromance' at this time, and has plans to record their next album, in the winter of 2016.
