Formed in Hickory, NC in the late ‘90s, the Geminus Sect is an industrial/alternative metal duo that consists of two twin brothers who go by Xevin Geminus and Xayne Geminus. Their metal/industrial work--which draws on influences that range from Ministry, Godflesh and the Electric Hellfire Club to the seminal Alice Cooper--can be noisy and blistering. But the North Carolina natives are also relatively melodic and bring a strong sense of groove to the table; for all their aggression, intensity and forcefulness, their work can be undeniably hooky. The identical twins both play a variety of instruments; Xevin contributes guitar, vocals, synthesizers and keyboards, while Xayne provides bass, vocals, drums and additional synthesizer programming. And they brought that do-it-all ethic to the studio in 1999, when they recorded their first demo. In 2000, that demo caught the attention of Sin Klub Entertainment--a small, metal-friendly indie label based in Toledo, OH--and the Geminus Sect was signed to a contract. Sin Klub released Gemination, the duo's first official full-length album, in 2002. The following year, Xevin and Xayne moved to New York City. It was also in 2003 that they recorded a cover of Kiss' "Two Sides of the Coin" for a Kiss tribute compilation. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
