Xantossa formed in Berlin around 2015 with three members: Lilian Hermsen on vocals, Bastian Bark on guitar and production, and Jakob Hahn on drums. Their debut album 'Ephemeral' came out in 2017 and included the song 'Blind Me.' They followed it with 'Echoes' in 2019 and 'Ascension' in 2022.
Their music mixes electronic textures with rock elements. Songs like 'Final Deathrow' and 'Godforsaken' show their tendency toward darker, atmospheric sounds. The band has described working through some early lineup instability with bass players.
They've built a following with their particular blend of synthesizers, guitar work, and Hermsen's vocals. Tracks such as 'Deny' and 'Redemption (The Downfall)' continue in that vein, exploring themes that lean toward the introspective and somber.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
