metal and rap. Todd 'XL' Stevens is the lead guitarist and
the primary songwriter. XL can be seen as a veteran, since
he's been active since the early 1990s in holy hip hop. The
name XL was given to Todd Stevens by the Dynamic Twins in
1990, because of his size. The bandname DBD stands for Death
Before Dishonor.
