A journey that began in 2007, CHRONIC XORN travelled a long path, overcoming numerous obstacles on the way. Chronic Xorn’s sound is ingrained in Heavy Metal with a blend of melodic elements, unique in its own earnest. Several listeners and music lovers unaware of the our music recognized us in October 2009 with our feature in the 'Headbangers' India. The first English metal band from Eastern India, we gradually made a mark in the global metal circuit. It began with Six Inch Nails Records signing CHRONIC XORN in 2010 for releasing a debut EP 'DEATH DESTRUCTION SERMON' in May 14, 2010, making them the first band to receive a record label from Eastern India . Since then there's no looking back!

The band's first full length album 'FROM MERCY' released in October 2, 2012. The album was tagged the highest selling heavy metal albums in India, selling across various parts of Europe and USA. We took on a nationwide tour in October 2012, promoting another album 'FROM MERCY'

in cities like Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Guwahati, Delhi, Shillong. The tour gave Chronic Xorn a podium to play alongside supporting International acts like Children of Bodom (Finland), Dawn of Demise (Denmark), Cypher 16 (United Kingdom) & Gone In April (USA) + Indian metal giants like Bhayanak Maut, Demonic Resurrection + mainstream artistes like Raghu Dixit, Shaa’ir & Func and Indian Ocean to Bollywood sensations like Sunidhi Chauhan and Javed Ali. We took a higher-road ever since! 

In 2015, Chronic Xorn played at The Festival alongside progressive rock giants Karnivool (Australia) and at BIG69 Festival in Bombay, supporting legendary acts like Sikth, Carcass (UK) and Hacktivist (UK) and Fleshgod Apocalypse (Italy) along with several Indian metal giants.

On November 18, 2017, we released our second EP 'FOR THESE SINS WHO MUST DIE', receiving commendable ratings from the European and Indian music magazines and webzines. CHRONIC XORN's greatest accomplishment in the Indian Metal community came with Travis Montgomery (THREAT SIGNAL) playing a guest solo in our title track.  

Chronic Xorn had many firsts! The first metal band in India to release an album from a commercial record label and the first band to have the physical body circulation in the music stores throughout India. In 2014,the band has been endorsed by the legendary ESP Guitars & Basses and Sabian Cymbals making them the first endorsees for a metal band from Eastern part of India.
