Xynobite is a late 90s Dutch crossover band from South Holland, centered around guitarist Pico and rapper Slow. The band made waves in the Netherlands particularly with fiercely heavy metal-rap tracks.
Biography
[edit]In 1995 Xynobite was formally founded in Delft as a metal-rap band. They played in venues[1] like Speakers[2] in Delft, Het Paard in The Hague, LVC[3][4][5] in Leiden, and festivals in Waalwijk, Utrecht, Haarlem, Rotterdam, Katwijk[6] (Higland Festival[7]) and Delft (Festival Westerpop[citation needed]).
On december 18th, 1999 Xynobite won De Grote Prijs van de Bollenstreek at Scum (Katwijk)[8]. The band also increasingly performed as a supporting act for similar bands in the underground scene, such Backfire![9]. Their debut CD Trust! was self-released in 1999. The band also caught the attention of the independent record label Wot Nxt Records[10]. Through this label, Xynobite's most famous album was released in 2001: the EP Things Go Better With Coke. By 2003, the band was done playing and touring, bringing an end to Xynobite.
After decades of relative radio silence, the Dutch music producer Elo Vesk[11], in collaboration with the band, released three 30th-anniversary remixes of the songs Fight the System, Less than Zero, and Fuckable in 2025 and 2026.
Musical Style
[edit]Xynobite's music is distinctly diverse and characterized by a crossover between raw guitar music and hip-hop. The sound relies heavily on the contrast between analog instruments, such as distorted guitar riffs and heavy drums on the one hand, and electronic samples on the other.
Members
[edit]The lineup of Xynobite consisted of the following musicians:
- Jose Zapico (Pico) – Guitar
- Antoine van der Klaauw/Jan Schoneveld (1997) – Bass guitar
- Remco Cornelissen/Jelle (1997) – Drums
- Nes van Herreveld (Slow) – Vocals
