History edit
The band started in 2007 in Pomona, California when long time friends Nate, Brian, Jason and Bryan wanted to play dark and heavy music with eccentric influences. The friends previously performed music in hardcore punk bands together prior to forming Xibalba. In 2012, the band went on an Australian tour with Warbrain and Incendiary.[4] In 2013, they traveled with the "No Way Out" U.S. tour with headliners The Acacia Strain, and Within the Ruins, Fit for an Autopsy, and American Me.[6] Xibalba was toured on the "Die Knowing" U.S. tour alongside Comeback Kid, Backtrack, Downpresser, and To the Wind.
