Nijmegen, the Netherlands (1984 – present)
Clan of Xymox (also known as Xymox) blend an eclectic and vibrant mix of darkwave, electronic pop, and gothic rock… From the Netherlands, Xymox was established in Nijmegen, the Netherlands by frontman Ronny Moorings and then live-in Anke Wolbert in 1984. Their first EP, Subsequent Pleasures added Pieter Nooten afterwards on keyboards and left a mark on an emerging Euro-wave market.
A chance meeting with Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard of Dead Can Dance led to an invitation to support that band on a UK tour, and then a recording contract with their record label, 4AD.
Their first two full length albums, self-titled Clan of Xymox and Medusa, comfortably settled Xymox into their own niche of blooming melodics and smooth grey lyrical originality, with Ronny’s songwriting coming as a fresh and very welcome abstract to the plastic and packaged synthpop of the late 80s. In 1989, Ronny saw a chance to evolve and left 4AD, releasing Twist of Shadows which proved to be their most complete and mature offering thusfar, and was their most successful yet.
With the next two albums, Phoenix and Metamorphosis, fans were left with something of an out of body experience - as Xymox was sounding nothing like themselves. Metamorphosis was truly that however, its failure created a catalyst for Moorings to jump to yet another label, part ways with his bandmates, and pickup Mojca Zugna on bass.

Andrew: you don't see me posting that on each and every page now do you? It is just plain stupid , childish and moronic. Who cares what I do and don't like. I just leave messages (mostly) when I have actually anything to say, not like this psycho who is obviously not quite right in the head, so hence the choice of name

Well they SHOULD have their music in Hollywood more than Reznor ought to. Though obviously probably a big part as to who actually got their song in there was more than likely him paying homage to them. My point is... obviously this band has been slaving away for a long long time and must be credited for influencing LOTS of bands that somehow made it bigger than they did. They've more than paid their dues and they actually ARE one of the best goth bands out there of all time. I hope to see more of their music being used... for good that is. How sort of lame would it be to have your song used in a movie that totally sucks ass. lol.

Kudos for Clan Of Xymox being in a movie at all. Must be a cut throat business getting music into Hollywood. Loved the movie but the original was better. Albeit with Cox in the new one makes it worth while :) BTW :Love Daniel Craig
