Xenofaction is a massive, new Technical Death Metal band on the rise from the frontier of space (aka Perugia, Italy). It features very notable artist collaborations from the extreme metal realm including the likes of Flavio Marun Cardozo (ex-Hideous Divinity, Desource), Marco “Cinghio” Mastrobuono (Hour of Penance, Buffalo Grillz), Maurizio Montagna (ex-Hideous Divinity, Buffalo Grillz) Edoardo Casini (Desource), and Stefano Borciani (Demiurgon). Even the artwork for this project was crafted by Fabio Listrani (guitar player for Otus, illustrator for Marvel, Titan Comics).
All the names aside, this makes for some excellent music and a very professional project fully worth experiencing. 10 years in development has led to a first step with the Promo / EP release of “The Empyrean Vanquishment”! Believe it or not, this is currently available for a “name your price” download over on Bandcamp! It’s highly recommended that you go show these artists some love and support for their expansive efforts.
As such, we’ve teamed up directly with Xenofaction to bring the music directly to you good people! The entirety of “The Empyrean Vanquishment” is now live and streaming over on The Circle Pit YouTube channel for your entertainment. Enjoy!
