X Metal Birth

[Arron1980]

Hi everyone. What year were the first X Metals released? I would be 17 I think in 1997 when I was in a surf shop in Devon, England and I shot straight over to the Oakley Vault and saw a pair of Romeos. I had seen nothing like them in my life. I was blown away. To think its nearly 20 years

Romeo - 1997, Mars - 1998, Juliet and XX - 1999, and so on. Here is a link for O-Review which gives the dates for the X-Metal releases:
