Leivar Moland and Tom kalstad both worked at Elektrostat festival 2010 and started talking about different projects, and thought that it was time to join forces. They both have played in other bands and projects and their influences are X-fusion ,Hocico, Pendulum, Depeche Mode, Celldweller, Front Line Assembly and more. Tom and Christer Eriksen had played in Skin Disease and In Vein together so Christer was asked to do vocals on one song called Blackened Heart. After making two songs Tom and Leivar decided that they wanted screaming vocal on the new songs. Leivar knew Leif-Johan from some past projects and asked him to lay on some vocals. After a quick audition, Leivar and Tom decided to offer him the job. Christer then joined on keys and lyrics. After a few month Leif decided to leave the band due to lack of time. The band then talked to Sebastian, the singer in Teardrown, (http://www.myspace.com/teardrown) X-ploding Head Syndrome performed on Elektrostat festival 2011 and got good reviews from audience and press. Currently working on Christmas song and hoping to get signed soon! :D - XHS
