Xanthium was formed in September 2011 when 6 metal heads decided to pursue their common passion for music. The band’s style is heavy, hard hitting and extreme but at the same time melodic. Xanthium is not confined to any particular form or sub-genre of metal and hence play what they like and can relate to. Xanthium finds their influences from Heavy Metal artists like Lamb of God, Slipknot, Pantera etc. and also from Progressive acts like Tool. High energy and spirit is what you can expect from the band’s Live Acts.
