By reflex action, you could award Xandria a label like "Germany’s answer to Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, After Forever and Within Temptation", but these comparisons don’t do justice to the material’s diversity.
Xandria know how do deal with influences in our age of post-modernism: in precisely the same measure that band names become synonymous with certain atmospheres and emotions that due to their complexity would otherwise be difficult to put into adequate words, quotation becomes a legitimate medium for musicians that refuse to be held back by the stylistic catalogue of the contemporary gothic scene, but consciously orientate themselves to its sound range. Xandria quote easily and without any inhibition, at the same time they submit all references to other artists to their own creative process. This album is one of the most delightful debuts in ages – because it catches the essence of modern gothic metal: elegant, emotional and moving. Released on Artoffact and available December 8th, 2009.
