Xeilon was part of Ismen for a short while and produced their album Inget kan bli skönt nog before he went on producing for other artists.
Ismen stands for "I-don’t-give-a-fuck-ismen". Johan and Majk are saying that their first tracks and texts were mostly provoking and pushing the norms. They wanted to take freedom of speech to a whole new level, as they describe it themselves.
