Vandal X celebrates 25 years and releases a birthday present: 'XXV', a vinyl with a best of and a CD with rarities. All these years, the band hasn't given a damn about what was or wasn't fashionable. Instead, Vandal X has always done its own thing. Heavy and at the same time sharp guitar riffs supported by sledgehammer blows on drums. The sound is heavy and aggressive. The lyrics are a cynical fillip to the scourges and inanities of our times. Vandal X seems to be an outlet for anger and sometimes frustration. Vandal X's record includes a performance on the main stage of Pukkelpop. Also: a second place in the Limburg rock competition Limbomania and numerous gigs at home and abroad. And the fact that they were the first Belgian band to record with Steve Albini. And played billiards with him. For fans of: Stake, The Guru Guru, HEISA, It It Anita
