anXpm

Formed in 1997 under the name Ante Cryst (from the old English language) by original members Wyrm and Hygegeomor, they released one rehearsal/demo tape called "The Gaunt Hill", inspired mainly by bands such as Thorns and Mayhem. After this recording the band was musically silent, for various reasons. However in 2005 Unknown Icon of Emit joined on guitar. After writing new material, a second rehearsal/demo tape was released called "Malicious". Due to some personal differences between themselves, both Wyrm and Hygegeomor decided to leave the band. Unknown Icon recruited new members (namely, Adiatrikon on drums) and continued under a new name - anXpm , abbreviated mediaeval Latin for Before Christ. A four track self-titled EP was recorded during Unknown Icon's visit to Sweden in 2006. Although the band has now formally split up, the EP will still be released at some point in the near future.contact_emit @ hotmail.com
