Xaiphodius were first born sometime in spring 2002, when guitarist Jonte Björkborg and drummer Jens Vestergren decided to split their old band and start something new. During the summer they hooked up with bass player Björn Johansson and guitarist Max Karell as well. From the first moment on, the ambition of the band was to play heavy metal the way themselves loved it. With influences as Iron Maiden, Stratovarius, Edguy and also heavier acts, the band began rehearsing in October 2002. Even though a singer was missing in the line-up, it didn't stop the band from rehearsing frequently.
