X Marks The Spot With DAN MARAZITA From XCALIBRE

Melbourne’s high energy rockers, XCalibre release their brand new album, X, today! Born from grit, fire, and raw emotion, XCalibre are a powerhouse rock trio from Melbourne, Australia, blending hard-hitting riffs with cinematic energy and heartfelt storytelling.
XCalibre channel life’s chaos, resilience, and redemption into every note, crafting songs that hit as hard emotionally as they do sonically. Their music fuses modern hard rock intensity with classic influences, creating a sound that’s both anthemic and deeply personal.
To celebrate the release of X, the band have released their most touching yet enormous song to date. Lights and Sound. With a feeling evoking the epic melodies of Lanterns by Birds of Tokyo, Lights and Sound is, as frontman Dan Marazita explains, "inspired by a big chapter from earlier in life and the need for closure. The song explores what it feels like to stand at the edge of change. Looking back on a meaningful connection, recognising that people grow in different directions and stepping forward without bitterness.
It’s reflective, emotional and grounded in respect. Sonically, it strips back the big riffs but holds onto Xcalibre’s emotional core and melody. Even without the heaviness, it still feels massive.”
HEAVY's Angela Croudace spoke with Marazita to find out more.
X also features the unstoppable House Of Pain and Gravity (Through It All), which features DJ Lethal (Limp Bizkit) and Marcos Curiel (P.O.D.), and was recorded at Matt Sorum’s studio in Los Angeles. X is out now via XMusic: https://lnk.to/HHI9cx
