XERPENTOR was founded back in May 1998 by bassplayer/vocalist Leon van Midden as the five-piece thrash/death metal band SerpentoR. Driven by the diabolical forces of metal, XerpentoR is conquering the scene to infect the masses with their music.
Nowadays Leon and drummer Maarten "TRIGS" Kooymans are the only members left from the original line-up. The coming of Ex-Eternal Solstice guitarist Philip "PHILTY" Nugteren in the year 2001 ushers in the end of the thrash/death period. This was the reason for the leadsinger and leadguitarist to leave the band. Before the style, line-up and bandname would be changed, it was clear that it should not happen unnoticed. The product of that thought was the mini-cd "Incarnation of Evil".
Containing an affective mixture of old school death metal and the last thrash influences. This mini-cd recieved extremely good reviews in the dutch metalmagazine Aardschok, several underground magazines and local radioshows.

Leaving XerpentoR as a trio, they start writing a whole new set of songs influenced by bands as Bolt Thrower, Deicide , Massacre and Malevolent Creation. This means raw riff power and killer grunt/scream vocals.

At the end of 2004 Maarten left the band so the recording of the debut album was skipped again. XerpentoR is still looking for a drummer.
