Born during the initial worldwide lockdown and incubated as the seasons passed, doom metal supergroup MMXX began as the sound of global isolation. Not unlike the pandemic itself, MMXX has long harboured an unseen chapter: The Next Wave. The full three song EP includes the metallic and driving 'Isolation' featuring Mikko Kotamäki (Swallow the Sun), and the melancholic and ethereal 'Echoes' featuring Alicia Nurho. The Next Wave EP will be released on vinyl by Candlelight Records and like its 2022 full-length predecessor Sacred Cargo, contains stunning artwork from Portuguese fine-art photographer Henri Prestes.

Comments the band: "The spirit of MMXX is a profound expression of sonder, realising that each passerby on the street has a complex life and story just as rich and intricate as your own. The pandemic is the chapter of this story we've told, through the voices and words of collaborators across the globe. The Next Wave contains three songs, unique from one another but together forming a powerful epilogue for this entire endeavor greater than their parts. Huge thanks to Mikko Kotamäki (Swallow the Sun), Mick Moss (Antimatter), and Alicia Nurho for contributing your talents." 

At the core of MMXX is Andrea Chiodetti (ex-The Foreshadowing) on guitars and keys, Jesse Haff on drums (Daylight Dies and Gökböri) and Egan O’Rourke on bass (Daylight Dies). Together they channelled inspiration for composition after composition to collaborate with a geographically, culturally, and stylistically diverse collection of celebrated vocalists and musicians from around the world. 

MMXX’s debut offering, Sacred Cargo (2022), displayed the project’s signature multifarious approach to doom metal with new EP, The New Wave, building upon the foundations laid by its predecessor with a newfound conviction.

MMXX are:
Andrea Chiodetti - Guitar/Keys
Jesse Haff - Drums
Egan O’Rourke - Bass
