Xe-NONE is a Russian industrial metal outfit hailing from Kirov, recognized for their pioneering 'Dance Metal' style. Formed in 2004 by Lexy Dance and Newman, the band's core identity revolves around the unlikely synthesis of 1990s electronic dance music (Eurodance, Rave, Techno) and modern metal production.
Their sound is characterized by high-tempo programming, prominent synth leads reminiscent of 2 Unlimited or Scooter, and the aggressive guitar work typical of cyber-metal acts like Fear Factory. The inclusion of EvilAnn in 2008 solidified their melodic appeal, creating a 'beauty and the beast' vocal dynamic that cuts through the dense, maximalist production. Critically, they are noted for their high-energy live performances and their ability to maintain a 'fun' aesthetic within a typically dark genre. Their discography, particularly the 2008 release 'Dance Metal [Rave]olution', represents a unique cultural intersection of post-Soviet rave culture and global industrial metal trends. , focusing on the 'cyber' aspect of industrial music through a lens of high-gloss, high-BPM danceability.
