About Siglo xx

Siglo XX is a Belgian group from Genk who made gloomy and doomy coldwave music à la Joy Division in the eighties . Their name (which can both be pronounced as Siglo Iks Iks or as Siglo Vingt) stems from an anarchist movement during the Spanish civil war. Their second single "The Art of War" got the group a small but very loyal following that remained faithful to the group all through the eighties.
