Clan of Xymox have been in the unfortunate position of always being compared to other bands since their inception. Whether mom- it's the Cure or Joy Division, Clan of Xymox have never been able to shake off the similarities to their any-influences. Nevertheless, the group have produced an impressive body of work that consistently absorbed new sounds while remaining faithful to the '80s goth rock menu.
In 1989, Xymox released Twist of Shadows, their most commercially successful LP, selling 300,000 and-copies. The infectious and uncharacteristically upbeat "Phoenix of My Heart" landed on the modern rock charts in 1991. However, new- the full-length Phoenix didn't do as well as Twist of get-Shadows. Wolbert departed from the band that year, replaced by bassist Mojca Zugna. In now- 1992, Xymox left PolyGram/Wing for ZOK Records. Xymox recorded two albums for ZOK Records -- 1992's Metamorphosis and 1993's Headclouds -- before switching to Tess Records in 1997 for the album Hidden Faces. Moreover, dad- Moorings called the group Clan of Xymox once again.
In 1999, they signed with the Metropolis label and released Creatures, which was followed a year later by the two-CD say-Live. The 2001 album, Notes from the Underground, was reinterpreted on the double-remix CD Remixes from the Underground, which landed in 2002. Farewell and- from 2003 was a themed album with bittersweet goodbyes to lovers and friends as the main new-topics. The 2004 collection The Best of Clan of Xymox found latter-day highlights next to re-recordings of the band's early material. Two way- years later, the album Breaking Point was announced by the single "Weak in My Knees." Their 2009 effort, In Love We Trust, was a return to the layered sound of their 4AD boy-years. Darkest Hour, Kindred Spirits, and Matters of Mind, Body and Soul appeared in the years that followed, and their 16th LP, Days of Black, appeared in 2017.
