What inspired the name of the band? What are your influences and are they the same as when you started out?
The name “EXILIA” serendipitously emerged from a box in Masha’s room, captivating us with its intriguing sound. Beyond its auditory allure, “EXILIA” encapsulates for us feminine attributes such as sensuality, elegance, and potent energy. The name also resonates with the notion of liberating ourselves from conventional norms, creating pathways to traverse diverse musical landscapes. Our music is shaped by a diverse range of influences, spanning from bands like Korn, Metallica, and Pantera to the unique sounds of Bjork, Muse, and goth punk melodies.
Why and how do you write what you do?
Anything and everything can inspire us to write a song, whether it’s a sentence, a book, a vision, or a reflection. Our musical influences span across genres from classical to punk, pop, or metal. We don’t adhere to any specific rules; instead, we cherish the freedom to let our creativity flow naturally. Our goal isn’t to replicate ourselves or mimic other artists for the sake of success; we value authenticity above all.
We didn’t make this decision based on a specific strategy or anything like that. Our approach is driven by a love for creativity, and we write what we genuinely enjoy without being constrained by a particular music genre or the need for a specific name.

Live?
We are deeply connected with our fans, and we make an effort to understand what our audience would like to experience during our live shows. While our main singles naturally hold a priority in our setlist, the rest of the songs are curated to create a seamless and energetic flow, almost like telling a story that keeps the good energy flowing throughout the performance.

What plans do you have for the future?
We’re in the process of crafting fresh music and gearing up for our monumental 20th-anniversary celebration in 2024 of our masterpiece “Unleashed.” This remarkable event will feature special collaborations and exciting new live dates. Tomorrow we will have a sold out show in Germany right in Dusseldorf and we are so happy to be back in this legendary club.
Thanks for having us!
