Since forming in 1997, XEX carved a distinct path in the Northwest music scene by providing a supercharged live show, plus a unique combination of style and attitude.  XEX has released four CDs: three full length CDs, plus a tribute EP that offers five covers and two originals.  Characterized by the precise and immediate sound of a three piece, XEX's music defies generic description, while displaying only the originality of an uncompromised musical vision.  The result is an eclectic blend of harmonic, melodic, and percussive characteristics which are forged into a fusion of progressive rock and aggressive metal.

          As a three piece, XEX functions as a multifaceted musical ensemble, with all three members routinely trading lead vocals, often within the same song.  Guitar and Bass also trade “traditional” roles at times, while extended percussion, keyboards, and digital effects are also contributed by all three band members. 

          XEX received a Jagermeister sponsorship in September of 2004, and have shared the stage with such national acts as Prong, Powerman 5000, Brides Of Destruction, The Accused, Floater, 3 Inches of Blood, and Hyrax. 

          XEX's most recent offering, "Triad" (2006) is an offering to the spirit of metal.  It maintains a strong technical approach, while offering traditional song structures and themes.  In June of 2005 XEX released a strong tribute to metal - the self-produced "Not For Resale EP", which includes five of their most popular cover songs (re-interpretations) and two originals which have only been released for this CD, but are available for free download.  XEX’s first two full-length CDs, "Mixed Signals" (2003), and "Anything Goes" (2002), showcase the evolution of the band’s unique sound.   "Mixed Signals" boasted 17 tracks from  XEX's progressive arsenal and "Anything Goes" was a demo style project featuring 11 tracks of XEX's earliest material.
