Clan of Xymox, also known simply as Xymox, is an enduring figure in the alternative, goth, and darkwave music scenes, their origins tracing back to the early 1980s in the Netherlands. Founded by Ronny Moorings, the group made a significant impact with their eponymous 1985 debut on the 4AD label, known for its brooding soundscapes, melancholic melodies, and blend of electronic and post-punk influences. Over the years, Clan of Xymox became celebrated for their innovation and staying power, consistently releasing music that resonates with their dedicated fan base while attracting new listeners.

Despite undergoing various line-up changes and evolving sounds, the band has maintained its distinctive identity, with Moorings serving as the constant driving creative force. Showcasing a prolific work ethic, Clan of Xymox has put out numerous albums and remixes, their recent releases including tracks like "Spider on the Wall" and "Brave New World." These offerings reinforce their mastery of atmosphere and mood, blending classic darkwave textures with contemporary production. Their remixes, such as "Orphee (Corrosion Version) [Clan of Xymox Mix]" and "Big Brother," indicate a willingness to revisit and reimagine their works, ensuring their music continues to adapt and thrive in the present day. The band's enduring appeal is a testament to their ability to explore the darker corners of the human experience through a unique blend of synthesizers, guitar-laden undertones, and evocative lyrics.
