Xandria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Xandria is a band, founded in Bielefeld, Germany, in 1997. The band's music combines elements of symphonic metal with light electronic elements. Exact classification is difficult.
After various demos and great success on different MP3 portals, they released their first album in 2003, entitled Kill the Sun, which reached #98 on the German music charts. The follow-up album, 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.
Starting December 14th, 2006 Xandria began recording their fourth album, Salomé - The Seventh Veil, which was released on May 25th, 2007.
As of April 30th, 2008, Lisa Middelhauve is no longer Xandria's singer. She has left the band citing personal reasons and discomfort at being the band's leader. The band has found a new singer and will announce it soon.
