This week sees the release of XANDRIA’s fifth studio album Neverworld’s End, released worldwide via Napalm Records. The band’s new longplayer is a phenomenal return upon the introduction of new singer Manuela Kraller! Throughout the years the band had attracted an ever-increasing fan base, as well as successful tours, all this secured Xandria's top position within the music scene. The new album also continues the impressive trajectory. Both the opening number, "A Prophecy of Worlds to Fall", and "Valentine" confirm that the band has stayed true to its original sound, while tipping the scales in favor of more metal. The new album was recorded in the noted Principal Studios and its impressive production delivers both heaviness and clarity. "Neverworld's End" delivers the perfect union between metal and magnificence: a symphonic metal album full of sensual and breathtaking moments.
The videoclip for the single “Valentine” can be checked here. A first listen into the album (Preview). In the week of its new studioalbum’s release, Germany’s symphonic metal jewel XANDRIA is thrilled to announce European tour dates in support of EPICA.
