Founded in early 2007, XUBERX consists of Cheetahdave, Liebchen, and Zomboy. XUBERX has a sound not easily compared to other industrial bands.
Both in its recordings and live, XUBERX combines contrasting vocal styles and harsh guitar sounds with its electronic core to create the noise that will destroy the world, two ears at a time. XUBERX has played with a number of major regional, national, and international acts.
The first XUBERX CD, an 8 track EP called "Rogue State," was completed in the summer of 2007 and released in August of that year by Radio-Active-Music (www.radio-active-music.com). Featuring remixes of the title track by Galvanax and Dharmata 101, and the production and mastering skills of Jsun Bruner of the latter band, the EP captures the range and potential of the band.
A full length CD with new material is expected in early 2008.
XUBERX finds influences in a broad spectrum of music and bands, but a consensus seems to be that Stromkern and Angelspit have been among the strongest musical influences.
To describe XUBERX’s sound, however, is more difficult. The broad genre of “industrial†music fits well, but no one subgenre truly encapsulates the band. In performances, the band complements its use of synthesizers with live guitar.
Zomboy – vocals and lyrics
Liebchen – additional vocals, lyrics, additional programming, live synth.
Cheetahdave – programming, guitar, additional lyrics.
XUBERX’s members have a solid background in the Baltimore/Washington goth/industrial music scene. Two XUBERX members are well known DJs.
XUBERX’s Liebchen has been a resident DJ at Syndrome (DC), Schadenfreude (DC), Midnight (DC), and Ascension (Baltimore, MD), she appears with regular frequency at Chronos (DC), and has also DJed for Midian (DC), The Dawning (Charlottesville, VA), and several events at the increasingly legendary industrial music store Strangeland Records. She was featured at R-A-M’s Nuclearfest 2007 near Washington, DC as a DJ. Liebchen secured a collegiate degree in music.
XUBERX’s Cheetahdave has been a resident DJ for the DC retro-punk night "Skortch." Recent DJ engagements have included Ascension (Baltimore), Midnight (DC), Syndrome (DC), Schadenfreude (DC), and Strangeland Records (VA). He, too, appeared as a DJ at Nuclearfest 2007. He has traded his duties as a former frontman in prior bands, and is the principal composer, programmer, and guitarist.
Zomboy brings to the table an explosive cocktail of visceral energy and rage filled lyrics. Taking inspiration from his love of both Death/Black/Thrash metal and the blood pumping sonic vibrations of Industrial/Harsh EBM, his presence on stage can only be stopped by removing the head or destroying the brain...
XUBERX has played with international, national, and regional acts, such as Ego Likeness, Angels on Acid, Synthetic Nightmare, Bajskorv, and Dharmata 101.
XUBERX uses Nord synthesizers and Schecter guitars.
