Arma X

Arma X is a hardcore band from Madrid, Spain that really ramps up the intensity with their heavy, straight edge sound. The group came together in 2018 thanks to guitarist Yoshi and vocalist Leo, who decided to break away from Madrid’s beatdown scene and push for something faster and rawer. Drummer Tania, bassist Íker, and second guitarist Rodri joined soon after, solidifying a lineup of longtime friends united by their vision for a harder, heavier band with clear straight edge values. Their music—showcased on releases like *Violento Ritual* and *Barras X Volumen 01*—is packed with crushing riffs and relentless energy, delivering compact, high-impact tracks that leave a mark on listeners.

Arma X’s style draws inspiration from classic New York and Cleveland hardcore scenes but with a distinctly Madrid flavor. Since forming, they’ve built a strong local following and attracted attention from labels like Quality Control HQ, which is set to release their debut album. With an uncompromising approach to their music and message, Arma X is a band not to be missed for fans of heavy, fast, and meaningful hardcore.
