Curiosity about Xion began to emerge during the summer of 2022 when local rumors circulated about a group of young guys playing with tightness and energy on par with the big established metal bands. The Swedish metal scene was astonished by the band's skill, especially considering the band had members who were under 18 at the time.

Throughout 2023, they released singles "Derailed," "Men Who Play God," "Vision of the Blind," and "Death Cap." In january 2024 the thrash quintet released their debut album “Between Shadows and Gods” and took the metal world by storm. Within a week of the release the album reached top 3 most sales in several Swedish toplists.

Xion was invited to open for In Flames at the iconic Dalhalla arena 2023, played at Gefle Metal, the year after they played at Sweden Rock Festival and later that summer went back to Dalhalla and opened for Gene Simmons band together with Nestor. Sweden Rock Magazine awarded their live show a 9/10 rating, and their performance at the Sweden Rock Festival received a 4/5 rating. Another testament to their professionalism came in spring 2023, when they won Imagine Sweden.

The combination of the members' young age and their extremely well-played and tight music has made Xion one of the most interesting and promising new acts in Swedish metal.
