Xerosun have released a brand new video for 'Anatomy Of A Lie', a new song from the forthcoming second album. Big thanks and appreciation to the director/editor Kamil Krolak of KamilFilms for all his work on the video and to Michal Banach for recording and mixing the audio on the track.
It is with regret that we must announce that the "In This Moment" Gig has been called off due to unforeseen circumstances. We at Xerosun hope to make a live appearance with our new line-up very soon.
Xerosun will be supporting In This Moment on the 15th June in Whelans bar on Wexford St., Dublin. Tickets are available on Ticketmaster and more information on the gig is available on MCD's website.
Xerosun have completed a video for a brand new, previously unreleased song called 'Anatomy Of A Lie'. The filming took place on Saturday 30th of March 2013 over on the northside of Dublin and was aided by some very talented cast and crew members.
2013 sees Xerosun revealing their new lineup and a change of musical direction. Fiachra Kelly (Guitars) and Gareth Jeffs (Guitars) are joined by Paul Cassidy (Bass) Damien Dziennik (Drums) and Martyna Halas (Vocals). The new trio bring with them a wealth of experience that has helped to mould the new sound and look of Xerosun. The band plan to release a new single called "Anatomy of a Lie" which will be accompanied by a video in the near future.
Xerosun will unveil its new members this week. More to follow soon.
It is with great sadness that Xerosun announce that our close friends and collegues Ives and Darrin have decided to call it a day with us. We would like to extend our thanks to these two guys for all their hard work, efforts and sacrifices over the years with the band and they will be sorely missed.
In the heat of more recent success, XEROSUN
has decided to release their 3rd video from their
critically acclaimed debut album Absence of Light for the extremely popular song,
“Transparent Fantasy."The idea of producing this song came by way of request. “Transparent
Fantasy has become more popular than ever imagined says Fiachra (lead guitarist) People latched
onto it, so we decided that would be the next video.”
Thumping Solemnity from across the Irish sea. Although perennially scuppered by geography and the lazinesss of other nations, the Irish metal scene has long been a breeding ground for great bands and killer records like this one.
Darkly industrial debut from Dublin metal newcomers. A curious combination of atmospherically intense, at times droning, industrial metal and more traditionally melodic hard rock sensibilities, this brooding, spring heeled debut from Dublin's Xerosun manages to straddle some disparate (though rarely uncommercial) influences to come off as a compelling whole. It's a clever - if not entirely original combination; one that replicates an almost Rammstein-esque sense of claustrophobic portent but rails against it with defiant vocals not a million miles away from Metallica frontman James Hetfield's insolent twang. Indeed, with tracks as hookily brilliant as opener Cut Me Down its difficult not to look past this debut to bigger prospects looming promisingly on the horizon but for now, this'll do just fine. KKK.
Originating from Dublin, Ireland, this quartet mix up a head-pounding cocktail of thumping industrial beats, hard rock and melody. The end result can be heard on Absence Of Light their debut album for UK label Rising Records. Offering more than your average underground metal band, Xerosun are certainly turning heads with their powerful, brooding sound and, with songs like Cut Me Down and the stomping Long Way Down, it is no surprise the quartet are being given time on Irish TV. Hopefully, with the album receiving favourable press all over Europe, the backing of Rising Records will give this impressive outfit the chance to really spread their wings and develop their glorious towering sound into something quite magnificent. New material is being written as we speak so it looks like 2012 could be a good year for these Irish lads.
Xerosun - Absence Of Light CD (Rising Records) - Rising Records have found yet another great U.K. band that we need to hear more of. ‘Absence Of Light’ is the Dublin rockers debut full length (and pretty damn fine I hasten to add) with a heavy but melodic style of metal. Having supported Avenged Sevenfold on the Irish leg of their world tour…
