Background notes
Archive material and source history
Xyphos was an avant-garde metal band that released four albums between 2003 and 2012. Their debut, 'A Casual Stroll Through The Lunatic Asylum,' came out in 2003 and set the tone for their work, which often dealt with themes of madness and psychological unease. The band's lineup included Orpheus on vocals and keyboard, Hades on guitar, Thanatos on bass, and Nemesis on drums.
Their music was known for its dissonant guitar work and unsettling atmosphere, heard on tracks like 'Abusement' and 'Obsessive Compulsive Decapitation.' They followed their debut with 'The Dance of the Damned' in 2005 and 'The Bleeding Heart' in 2008, before releasing their final album, 'The Shadow of Death,' in 2012.
They maintained it was intended as provocative performance art. After their last album in 2012, the band appears to have stopped releasing new music.
