Voor de shows van 09.10.09 + 10.10.09 zal XMH het voorprogramma verzorgen.
Industrial/EBM band XMH was founded in 2005 by singer/songwriter
Benjamin Samson when he left the band Active Disorder. To put on a good
live show Benjamin recruited DSD singer Pieter Sperling
(keyboards/programming) and Psy'Aviah singer/keyboardplayer Emélie
Nicolaï.
XMH released their debut ep cd 'Life' in 2005 which managed to stay in the
Dutch Underground Charts (DUC) for more than 6 months. The song 'Rape
Your God' also stayed in the DUC for a very long time and has become a club
favorite in the dutch dark underground scene. In 2005 and 2006 XMH built up a
strong fan following by playing in clubs/venues all over Holland/Belgium.
In Summer 2007 XMH presented their debut album Time To Play at a packed
and sold-out venue at the Summer Darkness festival. The debut cd got very
good responses from press, fans, DJs and other bands. In short time the cd
Time To Play reached nr. 2 and the song 'Rape Your God V.2 went to nr. 1 in
the Dutch Underground Charts! Tracks like 'Rape Your God V2, Loser, Wet and
Private Cowboy' from the album were picked up by DJ's immediately and have
become real dancefloorkillers. Many tracks from Time To Play are also
featured on several compilation cds. The energetic live shows have been
received very well by audience and media. XMH has an in-your-face attitude
with main-focus singer Benjamin Samson, who takes control of the stage and is
viciously shouting like theres no tomorrow. XMH has only one aim; to get the
people dancing and partying.
In short time XMH have worked themselves up to become one of the best new
hot acts from Holland (without a record contract!). XMH have already played
with the likes of Combichrist, Funker Vogt, Angels & Agony, Clan Of Xymox,
Amduscia, Agonoize, Grendel, The Birthday Massacre, The Crüxshadows, Das
Ich and many others, showing them that XMH are some tough competition, and
that there is a new generation of bands ready to take over.
XMH will record a new cd during summer and winter of 2008 at the Implant
Studio in Belgium and will be produced by Len Lemeire (Implant, 32Crash,
Anne Clark). Working title for the moment is WasteD. The WasteD cd will also
contain several remixes by several wellknown electro/industrial acts. At the
Summer Darkness 2008 festival XMH played lots of the new material which was
very well received. The release date for the new XMH album is set for early
2009.
