Biography
1) A hardcore punk band from Louisville Kentucky
2) A pseudonym of a Norwegian producer
3) A Prog Metal band from Switzerland
1) A hardcore punk band from Louisville, Kentucky, formed in 2009, consisting of: Calvin Philley (vocals), Will Allard (bass), Evan Peak (drums), James Moore (guitar) and Dillon Hough (guitar). So far they have released one and album and two EPs, called “Twins” and “Homeward Carries No Direction”, and a split with Midnight Souls. Their new full length, “Our Home Is a Deathbed” was released 13 March 2012 through No Sleep Records. Xerxes took shape in early 2009 in Louisville, KY. What was once may soon again be the hub of some of the most ferocious and original music coming out of the country’s punk and hardcore underbelly. Xerxes’ sound channels the energy and passion of mid-90’s originators You and I and Saetia, while adding the more upbeat and brutal thrash mentality of contemporaries such as Trash Talk and Ampere, making for a sound that runs the gamut of blast-beat aggression and emotional rumination.

The Norwegian Xerxes has released a new EP, "First Ray of Light", streamable here > http://gwendalperrin.net/blog/2013/05/21/album-xerxes-phoenix-first-ray-of-light/ And, one day, Last.fm will create separate pages for all different Xerxes-named acts, because everything does not sound like Scandinavian chillout right here

New 7" EP and a new song! It sounds pretty good to me. Quite melancholy, not as aggressive as their debut.
