1.) To kick things off: Tell our audience a bit about the origin story of your Band.
It really started through school, the guys got to know each other that way, and the singer joined a bit later after seeing them play.
2.) If you had to describe the sound of your Band to someone who hasn’t heard you yet: What would you say?
It would be a crossover from a heavy, melodi and fast way of playing metal.
3.) How has the songwriting evolved with the band over the years? What does that process look like for you lately?
Erik is the driving force behind the songwriting. His ability to visualize notes and melodies is incredible. He usually writes most of the material, and then the rest of us step in to help, of course.
4.) What was the inspiration for your band name? What meaning does it have behind it?
Haha! We thought “Xion” sounded cool. Erik and Johan were trying to come up with a name that would fit, and eventually they came up with Xion.
5.) What are some of the recurring themes or messages you find yourself exploring in your lyrics?
Oh, I don’t think we’re trying to stick to any specific theme or anything like that. Instead, we’re writing songs based on where we are in life right now—covering everything from emotions to events.
