Biography

Bielefeld, Germany (1994 – 1997, 1999 – present)

Xandria is a German band that formed in Bielefeld, Germany, in 1994. According to the band, Xandria unifies modern rock with mystic soundscapes into a soundtrack of a different, really characteristic world. In Xandria’s world, everyone is allowed to be as vulnerable as strong, to show feelings and to live all beautiful dreams which seem forbidden in the cold reality. “We want to give our audience courage - on their way back to everyday-life - to manage to also there stand for their feelings and to be strong enough to get through all pains and obstacles.”

1994 - 1997
A predecessor of the band was formed by Marco Heubaum (guitars, keyboards), drawing inspiration from Bands like Tiamat and Paradise Lost. This band was already named Xandria, but due to musical dissension between the members, they parted ways in 1997.

1999 - 2009
In 1999 Marco Heubaum started Xandria again with new musicians. A demo was recorded in 2000, and they presented the five songs on the internet. After great success on different MP3 portals, they released their first album Kill the Sun in 2003, which reached #98 on the German music charts. The sophomore Ravenheart (2004), stayed on the charts for 7 weeks, reaching #36. In 2005 they released their third album India, which is more oriented to the . Their fourth album Salomé - The Seventh Veil, released in 2007, was a step away from the bombastic sound of the two predecessors and at least in Germany not such a big success as “Ravenheart” or “India”.

    "Neverworld's End" was released just a little more than one year ago, but it's already "forever classic" in my heart. Amazing album. I hope next albums of Xandria will be the same and even better.

    "Neverworld's End" is Xandria's best album... Manuela has a strong voice & that's what makes their latest album the best... [5]

    Hey all you guys, is it really just the voice for you? You don´t see any difference in the music? Well then Xandria could have recorded a reggae album with Manuela and you would still say it´s their best because of her voice? *lol*
