Xandria have revealed the third visual track from their forthcoming record, Eclipse, set to rise on 7 August through Napalm Records. "Northstar" stands as a guiding light within their discography, carrying uplifting dynamics shaped by Celtic tin and low whistles. These elements intertwine with heavy guitars, cinematic grandeur, and folk‑infused textures to form a journey rich in discovery. With a career spanning more than three decades and several chart placements, Xandria are aiming higher than ever — something they will further demonstrate on their upcoming European tour, commencing in September.
Band mastermind Marco Heubaum comments on "Northstar": "'Northstar' is a very special song to me. The melody came to me in a dream, and when I woke up, I immediately recorded it. I soon realised that I had never written anything quite like it before - it really felt like something magical coming from a dreamworld. The song has the wondrous atmosphere of a magical Disney movie, and I think you can feel that all the way through. It takes you on a little journey, with a bright light waiting beyond the darkness. Once again, it shows just how many different facets this album has - and we are far from done. Just wait until you hear what's still to come..."
