Xandria

Xandria is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Sonata Arctica and Delain. Those roots explain a lot about how Xandria arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Delain, Sirenia, Visions of Atlantis, Leaves' Eyes and Epica, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Orden Ogan, Once Human and Kamelot, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 24 connections around Xandria, reaching back through Sonata Arctica and forward to Orden Ogan. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.

Background

Xandria is a German symphonic metal band founded by Marco Heubaum in 1994. Originally a project, Heubaum later restarted the project as a band in 1999, and has gone through various lineup changes. The German vocalist Lisa Middelhauve joined for the debut album, co-writing both music and lyrics for the band until her departure in 2008. Middelhauve reunited briefly with the band in 2010 following the departure of the band's second vocalist Kerstin Bischof, but left again shortly after. Manuela Kraller joined the band as the new vocalist in 2010.
