BAK XIII was created in 2001 in Geneva Switzerland by DDDmix and Baron Von Smock. After two years of experimentations, the band decides to release it’s first album “In Cauda Venenum” in 2003, on Urgence Disk Records and Garf joins BAK XIII at this occasion. This first album is strongly influenced by industrial and new-wave from the early 80’s.The trio starts to play around and gets some good feedback from the audience.
In 2004 the band releases “Post Lucem Tenebrae” it’s second album, it contains new songs and remixes of older tracks. On this album BAK XIII starts really to define it’s specific sound, still keeping 80’s influences but tending to bring them to something more personal. The production and the mastering is done in collaboration with Naïche Barbaglia at California studio. Still touring around BAK XIII gets more popular.
In 2005, the album “Morituri Te Salutant” is out. The typical BAK XIII’s sound is born, thank to the great work of production done by Drop at The Drone Studio and the still effective mastering by Naïche Barbaglia. The guitar becomes a more important element of the music and leads to a more complex sound. This third album is welcomed and the band gets more fans. BAK XIII tours more and more and through its powerful shows gets more and more audience.
In 2006 the bands releases the album “Vae Victis” and the single “Dead Again”. Keeping it’s collaboration with the same team, BAK XIII follows its own path. During this time BAK XIII also made a lot of remixes for other bands, a parallel activity BAK XIII really enjoys.
After numerous live acts Garf leaves the band and BAK XIII releases “Ultima Ratio Regum” in 2008, still produced by Drop and mastered by Naïche Barbaglia. The artwork is done by Nicolas Joos, who also designed all the other albums. His very specific approach of graphism gives an original identity to the covers of all BAK XIII’s albums. This fifth release brings BAK XIII’s music to another dimension, the sound is more accurate the songs more punchy and the choruses more catchy. The new guitarist Tenebras joins the team. BAK XIII carries on to tour around and to collect fans.
In 2009 the Japanese label Deathwatch Asia releases a Best Of BAK XIII for the Japanese market, regrouping songs from the five albums. On that occasion Lyphilia starts to collaborate as a graphist and video producer with BAK XIII.
End of 2009 the single “We Are Alive” is out, announcing the album “Ibi Deficit Orbis”.
In 2010, the album “Ibi Deficit Orbis” is released, it’s a new step in the history of BAK XIII. The album is acclaimed by a growing number of fans.
In 2011 the band releases the digital single “Tant Mieux” and the best of “X” celebrating the 10 years anniversary of BAK XIII. Fraggle joins the band as light engineer.
In 2013 BAK XIII releases the very limited vinyl 7″ “Ace Of Spades” and a new album “In Omnia Paratus” . The digital single “C’est Noël ” is released for X-mas.
In 2016 BAK XIII releases the album “Aut Caesar Aut Nihil ”. After eight years of service, Tenebras leaves BAK XIII for professional reasons, shortly after Judge Drek joins the team as the new guitarist.
In 2017 the digital single “The Future Was Better Before” is out.
In 2020 the digital single “Worship Satan And video Games” is released. The bands enters in studio to prepare a new album, the pandemic spreads and paralyses all clubs, many concerts are cancelled.
In 2021 the band is 20 years old. The pandemic comes and goes still perturbing plans. The split 7’’ BAK XIII / La Marmite And The split 7’’ BAK XIII / René Binamé are launched. In December the new album “Memento Mori” is out as the pandemic is still threatening tour projects. It’s the 9th album released by the band.
Tandis que nombre de ses contemporains ont implosé en plein vol ou se sont écrasés dans les marais de l’oubli, MXD célèbre son 7e album”Endurance”,après 22 ans de longs et boyaux services.
A moins que l’on ne doive parler ici de délicieux sévices, tant cet “Endurance” se veut tordu, déroutant, surprenant et parfois torturé.Néanmoins doté de cette noire élégance et de cette créativité protéiforme, qui procurent à MXD le statut de groupe totalement inclassable et unique.
Entre les méandres d’un métal indus organique puissant et rouillé par l’envie, des réminiscences électro rétro-futuristes viennent digitaliser une poésie rock et sombre, naviguant à vue dans les limbes fumeux de circonvolutions blues, stoner, punk, pop ou rap. Un vicieux bordel nitroglycériné et apocalyptique, confirmant la devise malicieusement nihiliste de ce vaisseau fantôme: “Nowhere Forever”.
L’endurance est un état d’esprit. Celui d’MXD. Tel un feu de vie éternellement à l’agonie.
