CLAN OF XYMOX: Where does the band name come from?
Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.
Clan of Xymox mastermind Ronny Moorings wants to infect people with his music, starting with the band name: “Clan” is a community united by interest or characteristics, while “Xymox” was the name that Ronny originally wanted to use as a pseudonym in the early eighties. “But later I decided to use my real name. I liked ‘Xymox’ though, so it stayed. It’s the bastardized version of the word ‘Zymotic’, an infectious disease that spreads quickly.”
