Xyris is a modern metal band who aren't afraid to delve into various genres but are terrified of generating music that sounds like it's been done before. Xyris was formed in Savannah, Georgia in 2007. The lineup consists of Phil Bielata, Carlos Velasco, Ben and Jerome Tave.

Xyris sounds like a fusion of Metalcore and Alternative Rock with a Progressive twist. Songs were carefully written and recorded a year before they were played live. Musicality was always the focus as elements from modern and progressive rock were taken to make music interesting to metal fans. The multi-cultural lineup provides an endless amount of fuel for fresh new songs.
