Ahead of its release via UNFD on the 18th September 2015, Japanese metalcore outfit Crossfaith are streaming new album ‘Xeno’ in full.
“After releasing our last album Apocalyze, we toured the world and had so many great experiences, but something awful happened,” Kenta Koie explains. “Our guitarist Kazu had a brain haemorrhage which affected his left arm – I couldn’t imagine how scared he was about it, he’s not just a band member, more like family. We spent a long time to discussing what would happen next, but Kazu told us simply ‘I will never give up’.”
“His words pushed us to the next level, so we started writing for ‘Xeno’. When we listened to the title track ‘Xeno’ at producer Josh Wilbur’s studio, we all cried as we celebrated the birth of ‘Xeno’. I just can’t wait to share this experience with everyone!”
The record is available to pre-order now, but Crossfaith touring alongside Skindred in November.
