“Nil” is the first 0XÍST release to feature Mikael Ahlstén (ex-SAATTUE) on drums.

0XÍST recently announced the addition of bassist Sameli Köykkä, formerly of COLOSSEUM.

0XÍST, which stands for “zero exist,” “performs metal that is slow, heavy, menacing and stands truthfully for what it is being described to be — dark metal,” according to a press release.

0XÍST‘s first CDEP, “Unveiling The Shadow World”, was released in April 2010 via Ostra Records. In August and September 2010, the band recorded a demo containing two new tracks: “Old World Vanished” and “…Of Wood, Stone And Bone”. A limited demo-CD-R edition (100 copies) was released to prepare for 0XÍST‘s first full-length album.
