ALIVE IN 2026

XerpentoR is a death metal band from the Netherlands. 

Formed in 1998 in Benschop as the 5-piece thrash/death metal band SerpentoR, the band was rebranded as XerpentoR in 2001 when they evolved into a 3-piece death metal force. 

XerpentoR plays straightforward old-school death metal built on heavy riffs and a raw approach in the style of Massacre. After releasing the full-length "Birth-Suffering-Death", XerpentoR went on hiatus in 2016.

XerpentoR returned in 2025 with "new" material, in the form of the in 2015 recorded EP "Excrement of the Deformed". The core lineup consists of Leon van Midden (vocals/bass) and Phil Nugteren (guitar) completed with drummer Dennis Esbach.
