Hailing from the Austin Texas, Xathax is the continually evolving project of Nathan Espen and Cris "The Fire" Burns. The project was formed in the winter of 2007 by Espen whose early work was aimed towards fans of the electronica, rock and noise genres. Through the years, Nathan began to feel as if the genres were too narrowly defined to embrace his creativity. He began to fuse elements from traditionally non-related musical styles which prompted additional creative control and helped distinguish Xathax music from the works of other electronic and noise musicians. Today, Xathax continues to push the envelope in terms of originality and range. The ultimate goal for the project has and always will be to tear down the barriers which unnecessarily isolate certain sonic elements from others. Thanks to Austin Chronicle for the bio-template.
