About this item

• Description • Pressing Info • • XIAO is a hardcore band from Stockholm, Sweden, formed in 2019. Their sound combines the ferocity of powerviolence with the urgency of modern hardcore, creating a chaotic yet deliberate style.

XIAO has toured Europe extensively, playing festivals like Ieper Fest and Alive & Well, and building a reputation for relentless live performances. XIAO’s debut full-length, CONTROL, is set for release on Twelve Gauge Records on May 2nd, 2025. Recorded by Jörgen “Jugglo” Wall and mixed by Ben Jones (Pest Control), the album features guest appearances from Lifecrusher, Entry, Blood Sermon, and others, adding new dimensions to their sound.
