Bielefeld, Germany (1994 – 1997, 1999 – present)
Xandria is a German symphonic metal 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 symphonic metal. 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”.

I'm also ordering it when I get a chance, but I'm crossing my fingers for an 'early listen' as well ;). Xandria isn't that big, I remember when I first heard about them I had to dig through pages and pages to find their music, so it's possible it won't be available online for awhile.

Gave "Neverworld's End" a few spins this morning and I found it awesome. It's nothing new, but the common recipe seems to be worked out pretty good so far. Personally, I don't know its predecessors so I can't draw a comparision.

vv "Another wishy-washy weak album like Salome would have killed the band for me..." - same here, except for 1-2 tracks Salome was a big disappointment for me. So I'm all in for "a change" and they really nailed it with Neverworld's End.

Below someone says they "lose their specific Xandria sound" - did anybody realize that this band always has been changing? I cannot tell a "specific Xandria sound". The second album sounded totally different from the first, the fourth totally different from the third. So it´s just another change, but this time really for the better. Another wishy-washy weak album like Salome would have killed the band for me... then it would be dead... I so hoped for a real symphonic album, and now it´s coming and I´m happy!!!
