Xerath

Xerath is a progressive metallic music group from Basingstoke, Britain, that mixes extreme-sounding substances of thrash and loss of life steel with symphonic orchestrations and high-brow lyrics inspired by scientific, philosophical, and theological topics. Actually, when Xerath was initially conceived in 2007, the purpose of founding associates, guitarist Andy Phillips, bassist/guitarist Owain Williams, and drummer Michael Pitman, was to fuse film credit scoring with syncopated rhythms and brutal electric guitar sounds somewhat comparable to Sweden’s Meshuggah. The causing demos helped Xerath earn Terrorizer Magazine’s “Greatest Unsigned Music group” award that same calendar year (as voted by visitors), and eventually resulted in a cope with Candlelight Information, which includes since released the band’s spartan-named albums, I (2009) and II (2011), to generally positive vital replies. Amid these achievements, founding guitarist Phillips departed and Xerath extended its lineup with vocalist Richard Thomson and bassist Christopher Clark.
