Rock band Xdinary Heroes (XH) released their seventh mini-album, "LXVE to DEATH," and its title track, 'ICU,' on October 24.
Since their official debut in December 2021, Xdinary Heroes have been expressing their story through music, creating an exciting worldview and a wide musical spectrum. Following the release of their mini-album "Beautiful Mind" in March and the digital single "FiRE (My Sweet Misery)" in July, they will return with their new album, "LXVE to DEATH," this October, emphasizing the theme of love.
The new mini-album, "LXVE to DEATH," explores the multifaceted nature of love through moments of yearning, yearning, and falling in love. The album's visual concept captures a raw, rough mood and a sense of imperfection, precarious yet unyielding. From sweet melodies to dynamic sounds, the rich tracks whisper the sweet yet powerful love of Xdinary Heroes.
The new album includes seven tracks: the title track 'ICU,' the digital single "FiRE (My Sweet Misery)" released in July, and new tracks 'Lost and Found,' 'Ashes to Ashes,' 'Spoiler!!!,' 'Love Tug of War,' and 'LOVE ME 2 DEATH.' Having established their unique group identity by directly participating in the composition of each project, Xdinary Heroes once again boasts full credits on every track, demonstrating their "melting pot" status.
The title track 'ICU' features explosive beats and guitar riffs that evoke the raw energy of '80s hard rock. The unpredictable flow, refreshingly explosive chorus and high notes deliver a thrilling experience, while a dazzling, sweeping guitar solo marks the song's highlight. The "ICU" music video captures the story of the six members racing towards love with unique storytelling and direction, piqueing the interest.
Xdinary Heroes proved their potential as a "global K-pop super band" on major stages both domestically and internationally this year. The group showcased their exciting rock spirit at various events, including their world tour, "Xdinary Heroes World Tour," which kicked off in May at the Olympic Hall in Seoul's Olympic Park. The group also held a solo concert, "Xdinary Heroes Summer Special," at the Olympic Park Handball Stadium in July. They also made their debut at the world-renowned music festival, "Lollapalooza Chicago," performed at the "2025 Busan International Rock Festival," and opened for British rock band MUSE in Korea.
From November 21st to 23rd, the group will hold the three-day "Xdinary Heroes World Tour FINALE in SEOUL" at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul. Xdinary Heroes, who are rapidly growing into a "performance powerhouse," will be the first group to enter the Jamsil Indoor Stadium solo, marking the grand opening of their 18-show world tour spanning 14 domestic and international destinations.
