CROSSFAITH UNVEIL ‘XENO’ COMIC

‘XENO’ OUT NOW VIA UNFD

To celebrate the release of their highly anticipated new album ‘Xeno’, Crossfaith have revealed the existence of a complex comic detailing the story of ‘Xeno’.

The first page has just gone live and can be viewed here www.xenocomic.com

Over the course of this week, a page will be revealed every day at 3pm GMT on the above link for five days culminating in the fifth and final page revealed on Friday. The comic was drawn by Liam Kelleher.

Crossfaith’s Kenta Koie comments:

"Before we started writing, we made a blueprint for this album. Teru told us his working concepts were 'Life And Death' and ‘Metempsychosis', but when we started working with Josh [Wilbur, producer], Teru brought the idea of XENO to us. It means ‘unknown' or 'alien’ – which I thought is the perfect name to describe us!"

"One night, Teru and Kazu were working together at a motel and they showed me the title track Xeno. It blew my mind, so I started writing a story to match the fact there were so many different types of songs on the album. I created two characters – one guy who wants to destroy world, and a female cyberbrain both called Xeno. He can't stand to live in this world because he thinks humans have ruined it, and she wants to learn what it is to be human. She dives into his mind, and the story starts from there…”

CROSSFAITH STREAM NEW ALBUM ‘XENO’

‘XENO’ SET FOR RELEASE SEPTEMBER 18 ON UNFD

Crossfaith have today unveiled their forthcoming album ‘Xeno’ in full. The Josh Wilbur (A7X, Lamb Of God, Hatebreed) produced album is now streaming in full online ahead of the official Sept 18th release on UNFD.

"After releasing our last album Apocalyze, we toured the world and had so many great experiences, but something awful happened. 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!”  - Kenta Koie

This record has a story of hope, failure, love, betrayal and death woven into its fabric so skillfully it's impossible to tell where truth ends and fiction begins. It's both an escape from and examination of reality that reveals more and more truths the further it delves.

Xeno is a character, two to be exact.  This is an intricate story of artificial intelligence meets human desperation.  The two combine to see the human Xeno, so distraught with the state of the world that he endeavours to bring creation through devastation.

An artistic endeavour like few others, with roots in manga, anime and the furthest reaches of its creators' minds, ‘Xeno’ catapults Frontman Kenta 'Ken' Koie, guitarist Kazuki Takemura, bassist Hiroki ‘Hiro’ Ikegawa, keyboardist Terufumi 'Teru' Tamano and drummer Tatsuya Amano to another level.
