About Me



XICON are no newcomers! Formed of five talents who have all been active for over a decade in various genres of music, including rock, funk, metal, and even classical music, XICON has arisen from their previous project, The Nightshade. Since 1998, that band had reached an international reputation within the underground scene, thanks to dozens of gigs, reviews in top metal magazines, and a showcase broadcast several times on the Swiss National Television (TSR). The Nightshade was recast into XICON to underline the strong will to bring its creativity to a brand new level.
