Xilla presents: "Endless."

UK band Xilla specializes in creating music that fuses different styles and genres, such as heavy metal, progressive, hard rock, alternative, and more.

The group comprises Leigh Oates on vocals, Chris Flanagan and Greg Pullin on guitars, Rich Pullin on bass, and drummer Hugo Riberio, also known for his work with Moonspell.

Each musician brings something unique to the table, allowing a broad range of influences to converge and add a distinct character to the overall sound.

Xilla's latest single, "Endless," is a perfect example of the band's chemistry. The song is ambitious and elaborate, with incredible dynamics and diversity.

The introduction is mellow and laid-back, featuring a beautifully effected electric guitar with a lush, modulated tone. The drum crescendo welcomes the full band into the arrangement, leading to a massive wall of sound. The guitar tones are spot-on, with creamy, overdriven leads and crunchy chords that cut through the mix without being harsh or overpowering. The drums have a modern sound, holding the groove down but also adding many nuances, especially due to the articulate cymbal accents and tom patterns. The bass has a huge low end, with a deep thump that helps drive the song.

The vocals are melodic yet edgy, with singer Leigh Oates channelling rock grit and melodic sophistication in equal parts. He has a huge vocal range, matching the dynamic ebb and flow of the song, from soft-spoken segments to belting out high notes.

The progressive nature of the track enables the band to push the arrangement to the next level, playing with texture changes and time feel differences to create a sense of openness and variety in the mix.

The chorus sections, in particular, are uplifting and dynamic, hitting the audience in a big, cinematic way.

Guitarist Greg Pullin performs an awesome guitar solo on the song, highlighting his ability to retain expressiveness and melody while setting the bar higher and matching the song's spirit. Chris Flanagan also does an excellent job with the melodies in the intro and outro of the song, adding more detail and depth to the arrangement as a whole.

Lastly, the song is incredibly well-produced, with a balanced and crisp mix that highlights the fine details of each member's musicianship.

Ultimately, "Endless" is a huge milestone for the band, demonstrating an amazing balance of melody, energy, visceral rock impact, and technical musicianship in equal parts. While the song falls under the metal umbrella, the varied arrangement makes it hard to pin down, as the band explores many different styles on this song alone, from classic old-school metal vibes to progressive and even alternative.

Xilla's music is highly recommended to fans of artists such as Soundgarden, Iron Maiden, Alice In Chains, Metallica, Jane's Addiction, and Alter Bridge, among others.

"Endless" is going to be available very soon, so stay tuned! Meanwhile, take a deep dive into Xilla's excellent discography, now available on Spotify and other streaming services.

Xilla presents: “Like Vultures”

Xilla is a band with a punchy sound, which could be described as a dynamic blend of metal, alternative rock, and grunge. The Birmingham group’s music is impactful and in-your-face, with the band’s new release, “Like Vultures,” being an outstanding example of what the band is all all about.

The track is characterized by visceral guitar riffs and fantastic leads (with even cooler harmonies at key points in the song), driving rhythms, and emotionally charged lyrics, which stand out due to the personality of the singing, which add depth to the mix. At times melody, at times fiery, the vocals by singer Leigh Oates convey raw intensity, but also showcase a more thoughtful side, especially through the lyrics. “Like Vultures” combines the edge of a great rock mix, with the perks of a crisp, modern production. All the vocal parts stand out, as well as the intricacies of the guitar and the depth of the drums and bass, anchoring the song down with a solid twist.

Chris Flanagan, the guitarist, is a true master at articulating solos that are melodic, yet strong and intense enough to cut through the thick wall of sound of the track. Hugo Riberio on drums ensures a consistent yet highly dynamic performance, where every hit is there with a purpose. In other words, the drums work for the song, and the overall performance is well-calibrated. Rhythm guitarist Greg Pullin and bass player Rich Pullin also do a fantastic job when it comes to heightening the massive wall of sound that makes the song as big as it is, locking in perfectly with the other elements in the track.

She’s falling. Every nerve in her body screams that’s a bad thing—every instinct insists it will end badly. Above her, the sky is an empty wound, pierced by a too-bright sun. Behind her, wind tears at her body—or maybe the ground is chasing her. She can’t tell.

She twists, trying to see where it is she’s going to die, but the gusts batter her head. Hair lashes across her face, stinging and blinding, turning the world into a blur of light and shadow. She spins, stomach lurching, and the earth slides closer, impossibly fast. She flails once more, fingers scraping the empty air.

Xilla has an unorthodox style for the modern era. Hailing from Albuquerque, New Mexico, he mixes multisyllabic bars with catchy hooks that bring bar heavy creations to the forefront. When contemporary music focuses on vibe above all else, simplistic rhyme schemes and no attention to depth Xilla emerges as a different monster which. One that can flex cadence, flow, patterns with detailed wordplay…
