A metal/rock band from Turku, Finland.

Xysma was founded in 1988 (originally as Repulse) and is often considered as the first Finnish grindcore band. They however moved away from extreme metal rather quickly and first evolved into a stylistic mix of 70's heavy rock and death metal and then progressed into pure retro rock, and finally, pop-rock. Xysma disbanded in 1998, but has reunited occasionally throughout the years for live performances.
