Whereas many contemporary groups have by now imploded or crashed into the swamps of oblivion, Swiss MXD is celebrating their 7th album Endurance, after 22 years of good and loyal service. The band consists of Drop (Samael, ex-Sybreed), Duja, Solex and Steph (ex-Sybreed, Furia, Science of Disorder). The track Eraser,
