One of hardcore’s newest and youngest exports XCOMM have revealed the details of their debut full-length album.
It’s going to be called ‘Time To Burn’ and will be arriving on May 22 via Blowed Out Records.
Drummer Revel Ian, son of Anthrax legend Scott Ian, had this to say about the record’s process:
“We sat behind our instruments, shared our deepest darkest secrets, and then continued to beat our instruments with each strum and stroke packed with unfiltered emotion. Ross Robinson transformed us into musical weapons that will blow your head off when you play our record.”
Ross Robinson himself had this to say about working with the band:
“Nothing brings me more satisfaction as a producer than sharing that undeniable life force of untainted expression…XCOMM, being the youngest band I’ve ever worked with, I had to nickname the studio sessions as “daycare.” It was so fun and alive throughout the whole process. Made me realize on another level how important the pulse of youth truly is.”

The band have also shared a new taste of the album in the form of ‘Borrowed Happiness’. A riproaring blend of thrash riffs, punk attitude and bile-drenched intent, it showcases how many different strands the band are looking to pull from with this all-encompassing adventure through such a storied genre.
Vocalist Michael Gatto had this to add, stating, “Borrowed Happiness is one of my favorite tracks on the record, shooting the music videos with Darren and all the dudes in the van was super cool and I love when we play this one live.”
