German symphonic metal icons Xandria announced they will release a nine-track EP, Universal Tales, on 22 November via Napalm Records. This EP follows the success of their latest top 10 charting album (German charts), The Wonders Still Awaiting (2023), which introduced an impressive new line-up featuring the fantastic Ambre Vourvahis, who stuns audiences with her vocal talent that blends elements of rock grit, operatic highs and even growls.
This fresh-sounding masterpiece highlights Xandria's reinvention by elevating their trademarks to a new level. It sets the bar for modern symphonic metal while presenting four new majestic songs that showcase the band's refined versatility and impressive intensity.
Xandria just recently unveiled a new offering of the upcoming EP, "No Time To Live Forever", together with a visually stunning official music video. Driving drums and fast-paced riffs underscore the dramatic lyrics of the apparent loss of reason in the world and the rise of chaos, while the five-piece aligns with their signature sound of impressive orchestral interludes and the majestic operatic highs of vocalist Ambre.
Xandria comments about "No Time To Live Forever": "You already know 'Universal' from our upcoming EP, and after receiving such overwhelmingly positive feedback from you, it is now time for 'No Time To Live Forever'. If you loved the bombastic choirs and operatic vocals in 'Universal', you are in for a treat with this one... prepare for a ride!"
