Vitamin X

Vitamin X is a hardcore punk band from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, known for their explosive energy, politically charged lyrics, and furious blend of thrash, punk, and hardcore. Since forming in the late 1990s, they've built a global following with their high-octane performances and relentless touring across Europe, North America, Asia, and South America. Their sound fuses old-school hardcore intensity with fast, riff-driven punk and a touch of classic rock swagger.

With albums like About to Crack, produced by Steve Albini, and Age of Paranoia, released on Southern Lord Records, Vitamin X have remained a staple in the DIY hardcore scene while earning praise from fans of more mainstream punk and metal as well. Their lyrical themes often tackle social injustice, personal empowerment, and anti-authoritarianism, staying true to the roots of hardcore while keeping their sound fresh and engaging.
