X-Project formed in the early 2000s with Ryo on vocals, Jun on guitar, Hide on bass, and Hiro on drums. Their debut album 'Fireland' came out in 2003, anchored by the title track that became their calling card. They followed it with 'Embrace' in 2005 and 'Evolution' in 2008, which showed them trying different approaches.
They ran into some legal trouble at one point, though the details are hazy. By 2012 they were back with 'Phoenix', an album that felt like a return to the energy of their earlier work. Songs like 'Time To Surrender' and 'Voodoo Night' came from this later period.
These days the members mostly work on their own things, but they'll get together for a show now and then. The song 'Fireland' is still what people remember them for.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
