Austrian Metal / Death core. Great single! I look forward to hearing a full album from these talented guys soon! Thanks KuKP! Recommended.
Favorite track: Hope for Peace.
Hope for Peace and its poignant prelude War mark the inaugural single releases from the full-length debut album by Xenocracy. Released under the banner of Kvlt und Kaos Productions, these potent pieces of music bring the stark reality of war and human-induced devastation to the forefront. However, amid the unflinching portrayals of destruction, a thread of hope weaves through the compositions, yearning for brighter days and tranquility.
These singles serve as a powerful preview to their forthcoming album Impermanence, set to drop as the year concludes. Each track within this masterpiece delves into raw, existential themes - war, mortality, and the fleeting nature of life, encapsulating the duality of existence.
Musically, Impermanence firmly establishes its footing in Melodic Death Metal. Yet, the sonic landscape it crafts is far from monolithic. The record integrates robust influences from various metal sub-genres, most notably Black and Thrash Metal. This results in a distinctive amalgamation that presents an evocative journey through the spectrum of human emotions and experiences.
Experience the intense symphony of Hope for Peace, and embark on a journey through the darkness, only to emerge into the light. Are you ready for Xenocracy's audacious exploration of the impermanent nature of our world? Their saga awaits your discerning ears.

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this. Luke

This reminds me of a more modern & blackened version of Slayer. It is certainly relentless & pummeling with every song! Thanks Satanath! Recommended! bmurator
These California up-and-comers don't merely pay tribute to ’90s death metal; they make it their own by taking charge and letting it rip. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 21, 2024
