With lyrics like, “I kill for straight edge” and “Strong I stand, with no shame,” the band wears their lifestyle on their sleeve, something too many bands abstain from these days in favor of commercial success. This Motor
City metalcore band formed in 2003 from the ashes of xTrephinex, Driven by Fire, Provoke, and King of Clubz and quickly became one of the most brutal and olemical bands in the area. Although not touring extensively, they’ve left their mark locally and promise to bring their heavy breakdowns and confrontational lyrics to any scene they play. A unique six-member line up
ensures not only a crushing wall of guitars, but also a diverse vocal arrangement that delivers the band’s militant straight edge stance with ferocity. After hearing the band’s self-titled demo in 2004, Seventh Dagger Records quickly made plans to release a full-length the following year. The marriage between Seventh Dagger and xTyrantx was consummated by a passion for straight edge and “Welcome to Hell” was the couple’s hate-filled offspring. In an increasingly glamorized and commercialized hardcore scene, where bands would rather parade around on stage like David Bowie instead of confronting the morally bankrupt society that we live in, xTyrantx will be a welcome despot to the angry youth that still remain.

The lyrics to xTyrantx's song "Gone Tomorrow" are dark and aggressive, depicting the singer's hatred towards someone who they deem weak and deserving of death. The opening lines, "you are so fucking weak your hour ends with me, reality strikes inflicting death by my hands of hate," establish the singer's dominance over the subject and their willingness to inflict violence. The chorus, "time grows long, but this death you cannot cheat your life ends here, when I'm in your backseat," suggest that the singer plans on murdering the subject and wants them to know that they cannot escape this fate.
