Clan of Xymox in Rome

Clan of Xymox is a Dutch darkwave band formed in Nijmegen in 1981 by Ronny Moorings, Anka Wolbert and Pieter Nooten. Its early albums Clan of Xymox and Medusa were released by 4AD and included songs such as “A Day,” “Louise” and “Muscoviet Mosquito.” Recording for a period as Xymox, the group later released Twist of Shadows, featuring “Imagination” and “Obsession.” In 1985, Clan of Xymox toured Europe and North America supporting Dead Can Dance. In later decades, the band returned to both regions for club and theatre concerts and performed at goth and alternative festivals, including Wave-Gotik-Treffen in Leipzig and M’era Luna in Hildesheim.
