Xerxes The Dark is my main music project in electronic genre & ambient / experimental / dark ambient styles. The idea for making music backs to early 2005 and it became a real concept on November 2006 with the first releasing of my own album called "DIM" on Amduscias Records(US). 

The basic name for the project was Dead Air Space as D.A.S in 2005 but i've changed it onto Xerxes in early 2006 and finally in 2010 i've changed the name of project from "Xerxes" to "XERXES THE DARK" to not be confused with other artists or projects.
The first album "DIM" also released by Smell The Stench(AUS) Label one year later in 2007.
After "DIM" album, the second album was released on January 2008 by the name "AZOIX: The Kingdom of all the Dark Ambient Moments" or simply the "AZOIX" by Amduscias Records.
After four years of the silence of the XTD and Me (Morego aka Dimmer), the third official album which named "Capricornus Exotica" by Kalpamantra Records(UK). The album was a little tribute to my parents (Father and Mother).
And currently i am waiting to releasing the upcoming EP which have called "Astral.Code.Connection".

In fact the Roger Waters from Pink Floyd and the UMMAGUMMA album. It was really great, and also Pink Floyd live at Pompeii?.
