Xashez is a Wicked Fuckin Hardcore band that formed in the High Desert city of Hesperia, CA, during the summer of 2007.  Since then, the group has undergone countless line-up changes, evolving its remaining members into universal musicians in order to temporarily fill in the gaps. 

The official line-up currently consists of Erric Zhade on Vocals, and Justin Mercury on lead guitar. Together, the two write, record, and self-produce on all of the other supporting instruments. Xashez has recently started recording in a professional facility out of Santa Monica, CA, working hard to give their first full length Nightmare Factory (released September 2010) the professional treatment it deserves. Now hailing out of Crestline, CA, armed with great songs, and even cooler hair, Xashez is gearing up to take over all of Southern California, and then the world; in support of their re-released record Xashez: Nightmare Factory, expected March 2013 on their Self Owned Label, Under Lock-N-Key Records.

All material here is original and built from the ground up with the aid of imaginary grapes by Justin Matthew Hoopes.

This is a place of musical expression NOT musical perfection! I wish to say that these songs do not necessarily represent a finished product. My participation here is to shed light on an ongoing learning and developing process. I am by no means a "professional" when it comes to recording, but I give my guarantee everything here is meant to lead to something better: A full album of well mixed and mastered songs. Obviously I am not there yet, but you are welcome aboard this turbulent musical voyage of joy and pain!
