X-Sinner is a hard rock band from the United States, established in 1988 by guitarist Greg Bishop. Their musical style bears resemblance to acts like Cinderella, Kix, and Def Leppard. Initially emerging from the white metal genre, they eventually broadened their reach into mainstream metal. Fans of HM Magazine voted them the top new band in 1989. Their debut and sophomore albums, both produced by John Elefante—formerly the lead vocalist of Kansas—were released under Pakaderm Records and A&M Records. Following the release of their fifth studio album, A World Covered in Blood, X-Sinner embarked on tours across Europe, the United States, and Canada, supporting artists such as Warrant and Paul Dianno. Additionally, they incorporated songs from Rex Scott’s side project GX into their live performances.
Although initially announced in 2010, the band disclosed plans for a new album titled Goin' Out with a Bang. In 2024, updates on their Facebook page indicated that the album was nearing completion with an expected release in 2025, accompanied by a preview of the track "World On Fire".
