Xysma was Finnish Grindcore/Goregrind/Death Metal/Death 'n' Roll/Retro Rock band found in 1988, at Naantali. The band has been openly granted as the FIRST EVER Grindcore band from Finland. Originally named as Repulse, the band recorded their first demo "On a Cartrip to Sweden" in 1987. The Band was later named Xysma and under their new name, they released their legendary second demo "Swarming of the Maggots" in 1989. In 1990 they got signed to Comeback record company and they released their first EP "Above the Mind of Morbidity" in the same year. By then, Xysma had had more Death Metal influences to their music and the grindcore blasts decreased and the speed slowed down. Later that year they released a 7-inch "Fata Morgana" through American Seraphic Decay label. 1991 ,Xysma recorded their first full-length "Yeah", which was released by the old ComeBack label and recorded in the famous Swedish Sunlight Studios in Stockholm. This album introduced a original mix of Heavy/Death metal/psychedelic rock riffs in the vein of Black Sabbath and occasional Grindcore blasting. Therefore, Xysma can be considered the ACTUAL PIONEER OF DEATH 'N' ROLL, a style , which was later familiarized by Entombed in their 1993 "Wolverine Blues" album. Their second album "The First and Magical"'93 continued loosely the same musical paths as their former album, but now with less Grindcore and Death Metal influences. The name of their second album was sort of a sign of their major changes to be come. the third full-length, 1994's "Deluxe",showed the last signs of Grindcore blasts and Death 'n' Roll. "Lotto" of 1996 presented Xysma's whole new style, Retro-rock. The old days had been left behind for good. After their last album "Girl on the Beach" of 1998 the band split-up.
When the ex-guitarist Toni Stranius ( who also played in Disgrace before his carreer in Xysma ) died in 2006, Xysma did a final reunion gig for the memory of their late guitarist.

Lyrics :
Towards the horizon
From under the sea
Firmament
Is laughing at me
Greenish visions
From the past
Millions of coffins
Of the future
The waves sing death
I'm listening to their message
The sky melts and the star fries
I'm a cell in your veins
Ears turn into birds
Flesh starts to shrink
My tearduct evacuates shapes and rain
Slugs are crawling on the sun
Your mental health is weakening
The planet surrounds you
You're only a reflection
Look at me - I'm your scenery
Paint me and you'll see
Close your eyes and you'll be free
