XENOS A.D. was born in the middle of 2019, under the previous name of XENOS, playing a pure form of Thrash Metal, clearly inspired by the giants of the genre from USA and Germany.

The band does not hide its strong love for Slayer, Megadeth, Kreator, Exodus and Testament, but tries to distinguish its music with a strong dose of personality in every single composition.

“FILTHGRINDER”, the lucky first album, comes in January 2020, published by a little Italian label called Club Inferno Ent., is soon considered by several webzines and magazines as one of the best Thrash Metal debuts of the year. The album, raw and clearly inspired by the Thrash Metal debuts of the ‘80s, marks strongly the way for the band but, because of the pandemic, cannot be promoted and played live.

The band decides to start working on the new album and, in June 2021, “THE DAWN OF ARES” is ready and published by the german label Iron Shield.
As for the debut album, this new effort gets praised through amazing reviews, and mentioned in several webzines polls as one of the best Thrash albums of 2021.

In the summer of 2022 XENOS A.D. plays at the prestigious Austrian Festival AREA 53, sharing the stage with titans as Testament, Exodus and Death Angel and in 2023, Into the Grave Fest (NL) and Agglutination Fest (I), Wacken Open Air (DE) in August 2024.

Despite the band’s young age every member has, in the past, shared the stage with many big artist of the scene like Iron Maiden, Slayer, Megadeth, Destruction and many others.
XENOS A.D. has just finished to work on the third studio chapter, a further step ahead, the perfect picture of what the band is today.
