XT was a metal band from Sweden. It was formed by Bjorn Stiggson and Sonny Larson in 1991, following the breakup of Stiggson's earlier band Leviticus.[1] The band, whose name means "Christ" released three albums before their breakup in 1995. They became better known in Japan than either Europe or the United States.[2] Prior to forming XT, Sonny Larson had been involved in a few other Swedish metal bands as lead vocalist. While in Motherlode (1983–1987) he worked with Mark Stanway, who was later in the British melodic rock band Magnum.[3] Motherlode released one album, Sanctuary, in 1986.[4] Following Motherlode, he joined Charizma and stayed with them until 1988.[5] Beyond Leviticus and XT, Stigsson also released a solo project in 1986 called Together With Friends.
