Exlia is a heavy metal band from Milan, Italy that formed in 1998.
Exilia formed in 1998 in Milan (Italy), when Masha met the guitarist Elio Alien.
In 2000, after nearly two years spent playing in clubs and open air, Exilia released their debut album "Rightside Up". The album was distributed by Universal in Italy and Pangg in Germany. The release of the album was followed by appearances on Music TV programs and more than 120 concerts a year in Italy, Switzerland and Austria.
In October 2001, they played several gigs in Germany & the Netherlands as a supporting act of Mambo Kurt.
In August 2002, they won the “MTV New Comers Award” at the Gun Records Birthday Bash in Koln, Germany. Headliners at the Bash were H-Blockx, Skin-Dredd, Paradise Lost, and Guano Apes.
In May 2003, they took part as special guests in some Festivals and Open Air (such as: "Taubertal Festival", "Forestglade Festival”, "MTV Campus Invasion”) playing with bands such as HIM, Within Temptation, Therapy?, Rollins' band, Underwater Circle, Cardigans, SEEED, and Guano Apes. After the publication of their EP "Underdog", in September 2003 (GUN Records; distributed by BMG in Germany, Switzerland and Austria and by Audioglobe in Italy), they got good reviews from the specialized magazines in Germany (Rock Hard 8/10, M. Hammer 5/7, etc.) and Italy (M. Hammer 6/7, Rock Sound 7/10, Metal Shock 7/10, Flash 75/100).
In October 2003, EXILIA undertook a tour with the German band In Extremo, and they subsequently took part in the Paradise Lost Italian tour.
In March 2004, they appeared on the double CD compilation "Crossing all over Vol.17" together with bands such as: Placebo, Machine Head, Radiohead, Coldplay, HIM, Nickelback, Oomph, POD, Sepultura, Turbonegro, and Clawfinger, which entered in charts in Germany and Austria.
In April 2004, they made their first video-clip, "Stop Playing God", in Koln (D) with director Ercin Filizli's supervision and with the support of the Action-Concept (film and stunt production) broadcast on VIVA, VIVA+ and Onyx TV in Germany.
In May 2004, they released the full-length CD “Unleashed” that entered in the German chart at #38. After the publication of the album (Gun Records/BMG), the band went on tour as a supporting act for Ill Nino, Die Ärzte, and P!NK.
