XDINARY HEROES are the winners of the 2025 Rock Sound 'Fan Power' Award

Mixing hard rock and emo influences with a dark and layered visual aesthetic, this South Korean collective have amassed an array of international fans over the past twelve months, performing on stadium stages with their heroes and at world renowned festivals. With the epic ‘Beautiful Mind’ mini album released back in March, swiftly followed by new EP ‘LXVE To DEATH’, the six-piece talk us through their creative journey and celebrate the fan community at the heart of it all.
