Xmas Lights torrent

Xmas Lights were formed in Oxfordshire, UK in early 2004 featuring ex-members of other Oxford bands Near Life Experience, Outofinto, Suffer The Fall & Vena Cava.

Taking in elements of metal, hardcore, electronica, and ambience Xmas Lights took their music to a whole new level through the sheer intensity of their live show, with band members often finding themselves scattered throughout the room or on the floor, while continuing to thrust their uncompromising musical salvo down people’s throats.

Their debut recording in mid-2004 "Enron Ate My Baby” draws the listener in just six tracks and 29 minutes into a fascinating journey, beginning with an acoustic introduction before being dragged into a crushing bombardment of devastating riffs, complex beats & intense delivery from the band’s dual vocal attack, interspersed with occasional melody & diverse dynamics.

Xmas Lights showed their more subtle side with tracks from the “Threat Level EP”, exposing an even darker, more industrial yet still heavy side to their arsenal. The EP contained 3 tracks of up to 15 minutes in length, and was largely hailed by the Oxford music press.

Following "Threat Level" was their most uncompromising outing to date, the "All The Good Titles Were Taken By Bad Songs" EP, which featured 4 songs further exploring the extremes of calculated, crushing heaviness and sublime ambience.

After a successful tour in 2007 the band recorded but never released 4 original songs and a remixed track on the working title EP only know as "Treading The Fine Line Between Clever And Genius".

All of the music contained within this package has been released previously but retracted from sale after line up changes in 2008, with the exception of "Treading The Fine Line Between Clever And Genius" which has never been released.
