Share Music Video For Title Track Via Idioteq
Following two EPs, Swiss metallic hardcore five-piece Sxokondo are now ready to release their first full-length “Altered Ego”, which is set for release on October 28th via Division Records.

“Altered Ego” marks a new beginning for Sxokondo (pronounced shock-hondo, from the esperanto word for Shockwave), not only this is their first album, but they’ve also decided for a DIY approach and recruited local technicians to help them with the recordings, namely Kevin Galland from Studio Mécanique for the recording and mixing, and then Christoph Noth for the mastering, both being established in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Pre-orders are now available here.

Inspired by the global pandemic and the deep social disruption it caused, this album sees Sxokondo churning out a brash, noisy, and intense metallic hardcore in the vein of BotchConverge and Breach.

With a decade of existence and featuring members from various Swiss projects like ElenkhosMass ControlChurchillBunkrThe Stand or Desert HoboSxokondo are not exactly newcomers so expect nothing less than a loud, frantic, violent, and explosive sound, especially if you ever get the opportunity to catch them live.

Today, the quintet teamed up Idioteq for the premiere of the music video for the title track “Altered Ego”, check it out at this location.
