Xyris

About Me

Phil and Carlos have been composing music since early 2006. Both came from previous metal influenced bands. In time, the songs were recorded and new members came to the band. Xyris has enjoyed playing in Savannah on several occasions.

Sounds Like: Xyris sounds like a fusion of Metalcore and Alternative Rock with a Progressive twist. Most of the first songs were carefully written and recorded before they were played live. For this reason musicality has and will remain the focus. The wide variety of influences provides an endless amount of fuel for fresh new songs. Limitations have also forced the trio to do more with less such as including bass lines in the guitar.
