XIUS is the evolution of a drummer who refused to stay behind the kit. After his run with death‑metal outfit LACRIMAL, he rebuilt himself as a full multi‑instrumentalist force, shaping a sound that hits with thrash speed, death‑metal weight, and sharp melodic hooks.
Based in Barcelona, XIUS writes, records, and produces everything solo, pulling in NEVA for femme vocal contrast that cuts through the chaos.
The 2024 EP Nos Manejan pushes political tension, groove, and aggression into one focused strike — the kind of underground metal that feels handcrafted, not manufactured.
With releases hitting Bandcamp and spreading through the scene, XIUS stands as a one‑man band that plays like a full unit.
What I dig about XIUS is the craft — every riff, every drum hit, every shift in energy is intentional. It’s heavy, melodic, and built by someone who actually lives this music, not just imitates it.
