Xandria is best known for their famous video for the track, "Ravenheart", off their second album of the same name, released in 2004. The video and song are considered to be a classic of the female lead metal genre. This Bielefeld, German band is made up of Manuela Kraller, on vocals; Philip Restmeier and Marco Heubaum, on guitar; Nils Middlehauve, on bass; and Gerit Lamm, on drums.
This band deserves to join the Napalm Records Pantheon of female lead symphonic metal bands. Napalm has created an unmatched stable of bands in this genre including, Edenbridge, Stream of Passion, Nemesea, and Visions of Atlantis. Thankfully there are no controls on the monopoly of talent in the recording industry, because Napalm has got a lock on the female lead symphonic metal genre. The label's talent recruiter/developer should win an award for the vast talent he/she has assembled.
But enough about Napalm…on to Xandria!
Why do they belong in the Pantheon? Well, let's start with Manuela Kraller. She possesses distinct vocals with plenty of range that do not make you want to turn down the volume or the treble nob. Kraller's vocals give Xandria that extra edge that others in this genre do not possess. But that is only the glorious beginning. The match of innovative lead guitar licks and perfect keyboard interludes helps define their sound and provide the distinctive moments which separates them from the rest of the bands in the genre.
This is the album to shoot for this year, in this genre. The engineering, production, orchestration, and mixing is all set at elite levels.
The gauntlet has been laid down. Right now Xandria's hand is full of aces!
Now, let's get into the album…!
