Founded in early 2007, XUBERX was originally intended to be a harsh electro/powernoise project for Baltimore/Washington industrial DJ Cheetahdave. Early in the project, however, those parameters became limiting, both in the need for additional influences in the direction of the project and in the sonic direction it would take. Within a few weeks, ZØMßØY and Liebchen were added as full members of the band.

XUBERX finds influences in a broad spectrum of music and bands, but a consensus seems to be that Stromkern and Angelspit have been among the strongest musical influences.

To describe XUBERX’s sound, however, is more difficult. The broad genre of “industrial” music fits well, but no one subgenre truly encapsulates the band. In performances, the band complements its use of synthesizers with live guitar.
