XION's fresh blend of speed and thrash metal sounds unique, and you can clearly sense the power, dedication, boundless energy and ambition of this young band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe quintet was formed in 2022, when some of the members were still under 18, yet they were already playing with the same precision and energy as more established metal bands. Since then, the band from Falun - the hometown of acts such as SABATON, BROTHERS OF METAL, TWILIGHT FORCE and others - has taken the world by storm. The combination of the members' young age and their extremely precise and virtuosic musical skills has made XION one of the most interesting and promising newcomers on the Swedish metal scene in many years. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn January 2024, XION released their debut album \"Between Shadows and Gods\", produced by Johan Reivén (RAM, HOSTILIA, among others). They performed as the support act for IN FLAMES and the GENE SIMMONS BAND at the legendary \"Dalhalla Arena\" and played at several festivals, including \"Gefle Metal\", \"Sweden Rock Festival\" and the \"Sabaton Cruise\". Their concerts have been highly praised. Sweden Rock Magazine rated one of their live performances 9\/10, and their performance at the \"Sweden Rock Festival\" itself received a rating of 4\/5. In 2023, the band also won the \"Imagine Sweden\" music competition. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn June 2025, XION released the single \"Wasteland of Time\", produced by Jonas Arnberg (METHANE, DEMONICAL, among others), who is also producing the band's upcoming studio album, \"When Stars Collide\". This track also convinced Fireflash Records to offer them a record deal. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe upcoming new album \"When Stars Collide\" takes things a step further and showcases the band at their very best. The first single \"Zero Lights\" is already available. \"The song is fast, chaotic and hits you right in the heart,\" says the band. The entire new album is packed with surprises and metal anthems that stick in your memory. \"This upcoming album consists of tracks we've worked on for a very long time and put a lot of effort into,\" reveals the band - and every serious metalhead should definitely check out these young, up-and-coming stars.
