Entertainment in 2011, the group consists of twelve members separated into two subgroups, EXO-K and EXO-M, performing music in Korean and Mandarin, respectively. EXO rose to fame with the release of their best-selling first album XOXO (2013), which contained the breakthrough hit "으르렁 (Growl)". XOXO was a critical and commercial success, winning both Disk Daesang at the 28th Golden Disk Awards and Album of the Year at the 15th Mnet Asian Music Awards. It eventually went to sell over one million copies, putting EXO as the fastest-selling Korean artist in twelve years. Their EP Overdose (2014) made EXO the highest-charting Korean male act on the Billboard 200.

Please update your music library tags.
5. A Russian Metal Band from Saint-Petersburg
6. Helsinki based three-piece EXO play a hybrid of riff based doom, post hardcore and pseudoscientific space rock, the last being a non-audible element. EXO strips off all of rock music's unnecessary elements, thus displaying the steady foundation of bass and drums. Their trademark sound is economic yet massive.
7. Behind the codename EXo (mind the capital X) we find Gheorghi Penkov -a person known for his numerous activities, both in art and science. 27 years old, he already has a definite musical experience -as a DJ, producer, promoter, music journalist and beatbox/darbuka performer. Jorro, as his friends call him, is open to every genre as long as it brings experiment and new ideas. EXo’s interest in music production and mixing dates back to 1995 when he initially got interested in interactive multimedia demos. Together with friend Martin Hristov, Gheorghi starts the demo group Ancient Media, that in consequently released the two demos – Idleness (’96) and Water Illusions (‘97). Demos are highly technological short video productions (10 mins) that render audio and video in realtime. This early interest in multimedia triggers EXo’s passion for electronic music. Between 19982001 he produces ambient and downtemp tracks under the SentagriS moniker. Unfortunately most of these never get released, since in 90s there is no label or company interested in such sound in Bulgaria,... net-labels are yet to come. Years later, two of these tracks are included in the digital releases Wamoxyn (2003, Z-dimension) and Acnod Tucmod Tipo (2007, Contone Records). With his typical perfectionism and endless energy, EXo continues his search for new sound experimenting with electronics, beat-boxing and darbuka/djembe drums. Soon after he finds the drum and bass that and it takes over his focus. EXo joins H.M.S.U. by appointment with Dimitar “Targy” Dimitrov, and is with the organization since it’s very first days. By that time he's a junior drum and bass DJ, one that in the course of time gets totally devoted to the classic drum and bass (it's what we nowadays call oldskool). After H.M.S.U’s third openair festival EXo’s focus starts to slowly shift towards jungle, and eventually dub music. During his sporadic 2003-2005 appearances on H.M.S.U. events he selects mostly roots and tech dub. Then suddenly, in 2005, he finds a new sound that fundamentally changes his view on bass music, and puts his musical roaming to an end. In 2006, EXo becomes the first DJ to pioneer the fresh dubstep genre in Bulgaria -the audience is schoked, yet fascinated by the unexpected beat. But that’s enough of a reason for dubstep to become EXo’s primary focus in the years to come. Consequently he proves himself as the leading dubstep DJ in the country – always with up to date selection of uncompromised sound quality. Up to date EXo has presented dubstep on more than 50 venues, and for the listening pleasure of Bulgarian, Romanian and Greek audiences. He has performed on one stage with artists like Luke Envoy and Mary Anne Hobbs /BBC Radio1/. In 2007, on two big venues, HMSU’s Summer Open-air Festival 2007 and at Drum and Jazz 2007, EXo presented his experimental live dupstep project together with popoular drummer Victor Alexandrov. Nowdays, EXo is also responsible for the logistics and coordination of number of H.M.S.U. activities. He and Martin Popov are the leading promoters for more than 50 events. Since mid 2005, EXo is involved in every single H.M.S.U. event. EXo also drives the Mirizma events – a musical platform for experimental and downtemp performances.
8. Ukrainian group EXO is made by ex-members of Skryabin band Rostislav "Roy" Domishevsky and Sergij "Shura" Gera (also member of "Dazzle Dreams" and "Druga Rika"). By this time they have made only one album in 2004. Guyz are following the style of old Skryabin.
9. A British Grime Rapper.
10. A Latin Freestyle Group who had the hit "Why Did You Do It".

당황한 너의 시선 너머 끝내 무너지는 성벽
차츰 밝아 오는 새벽 yeah uh
끝없이 이어지고 있어
무딘 칼날 끝에 잘라 내지 못해
계속 반복되는 문제 yeah
미처 풀지 못한 숙제
뒤엉켜 폭풍처럼 몰아치는 소릴 들어 봐
깨고 부딪쳐야 해
우릴 볼 수 있도록
크게 소리쳐야 해
멀리 번져 가도록 oh
여린 빛들이 번져 가 긴 어둠을 다 몰아낸 순간
다시 깨어나야 해 uh
새로워진 아침에 oh
오만한 시선들로 날 봐
이미 다른 출발선 위에 앉아
까마득한 거리 yeah
닿지 않을 듯한 외침
짓밟힌 채로 자라나던 간절한 수많은 꿈들이
보란 듯 담장 너머 피워 낸 풍경을 바라봐
깨고 부딪쳐야 해
우릴 볼 수 있도록
크게 소리쳐야 해
멀리 번져 가도록 ah
여린 빛들이 번져 가 긴 어둠을 다 몰아낸 순간
다시 깨어나야 해 (다시 깨어나야 해)
새로워진 아침에 ah
왜곡되는 진실 가르쳐진 거짓
변화의 목소리 파도가 일어
전부 집어삼킬 바다를 만든 건 it's you
깨고 부딪쳐야 해
우릴 볼 수 있도록
크게 소리쳐야 해 (크게 소리쳐야 해)
멀리 번져 가도록 oh (멀리 번져 가도록)
여린 빛들이 번져 가 긴 어둠을 다 몰아낸 순간
다시 깨어나야 해
새로워진 아침에
The lyrics of Exo's song "전야 前夜 The Eve" speaks about a sense of urgency to push forward and overcome challenges that lie ahead. The first verse sets the tone by urging the listener to see the situation clearly, instead of being caught off guard and watching the walls crumble. The new dawn is slowly brightening and the problem persists endlessly, with the blunt blade unable to cut through. The reference to an unfinished homework also represents a task that remains unachievable.
The pre-chorus uses the metaphor of weak winds that grow into thunderous storms to urge the listener to break through the tall walls and shout out loud to be seen and heard from afar. The chorus then speaks about the moment when the soft lights break through the long darkness, indicating the need to awaken and face the new day with its fresh challenges.
The second verse speaks about the stares of arrogance watching, having already started ahead in the race with a dark distance that seems impossible to bridge. However, the view of the many dreams that grew out of being trampled and struggling excessively can be seen beyond the wall. The bridge adds metaphors of distorted truths versus taught lies and waves that form out of the voice of change, reminding the listener that they too have the power to create and influence the world despite its vastness.
Overall, "전야 前夜 The Eve" encourages the listener to confront and overcome obstacles fearlessly to achieve their dreams with the help of their inner strength, even when progress seems impossible.
Line by Line Meaning
Look straight ahead, assess the situation
The wall collapses under the weight of your bewildered gaze
The dawn gradually approaches, yeah uh
It's endless, continuing on
Unable to cut through with a dull blade
Repeating problems, yeah
Unfinished homework we failed to solve
Listen to the sound of the weak and feeble wind circling the high wall
Hear it roaring like a storm, entangled and violent
Break through and collide, so we can be seen
Scream loudly, so the sound can spread even further, oh
When the delicate light spreads out, chasing away the long darkness
We must awaken again, uh
In the new morning, oh
People stare at me with arrogance
Already sitting on a different starting line
The distant, dark street, yeah
A shout that seems unreachable
Look at the many desperate dreams that were once trampled on while growing
Gaze at the scenery beyond the wall as if to boast
Break through and collide, so we can be seen
Scream loudly, so the sound can spread even further, ah
When the delicate light spreads out, chasing away the long darkness
We must awaken again, we must awaken again
In the new morning, ah
Teaching distorted truth as if it's the real thing
The voice of change creates waves
You created a sea that will swallow everything
Break through and collide, so we can be seen
Scream loudly, we need to shout
So the sound can spread even further, oh
When the delicate light spreads out, chasing away the long darkness
We must awaken again
In the new morning
