Roy Zappia is the new guitarist for XENOS A.D. and will have the challenging task of replacing Giuseppe “Tiyris” Taormina, who, for personal reasons, has decided to leave the band.

Ignazio Nicastro: “After five years, several shows, and the release of three fantastic and widely acclaimed albums, XENOS A.D. and Giuseppe Taormina have parted ways. Now is the time to celebrate and welcome Roy Zappia as the new guitarist for XENOS A.D. Roy will have the challenging task of replacing Giuseppe, but due to his experience and his technical and songwriting skills, we are more than sure he will do an excellent job. You will have the chance to see him in action on August 15th on stage at Frantic Fest. Stay Thrash.”
