I'm late to the party with this one and have just finished my 3rd spin of it.

 

If you're a fan of the heavier Nightwish with Tarja then you need to give this a listen. Loving thus cd.

 

Sorry if there's already a thread on the band/album. Nothing came up on my mobile search!

Sorry mate, defo not for me. Seems to be for a very select few listeners, one of those who is not me. Musically not bad, but not into the rest at all. :(

lol, sorry mate, never even heard of either of them. I generally avoid this prog and metal forum but if I have a spare moment I like to cover everything, just in case something interesting pops up. :)

I'm pretty much a sucker for this type of stuff and Xandria are another on the list of pretty good bands. Like any other genre, they can all blend into each other and sound a little on the samey side at times, but this lot are definitely one of the better ones out there. I prefer Nightwish, Within Temptation, Tarja's solo and a few others over this, but it's pretty good and definitely worth a listen

i saw them with Delain & Sonata Arctica when then came to Mesa in october. it was a little club that held maybe a few hundred people at most. totally awesome.

i had never heard of them either, but now i am hooked... and diane, well she is deserving of her own wayne's world code word.

this is only her first album with xandria, but she's also in Ex Libris, which is more progressive than xandria's powermetal

For some reason, I managed to get Xandria mixed up with Amaranthe, so ignored them for a looooong time ... *hangs head in shame*

    • No official release yet so don't know when exactly the album is supposed to come out but I'm assuming it's this year. I'm sure you're all brimming with excitement.
    • I posed him that exact question on his discord page as to what his future plans are.... He said he plans to relax for a bit, do his You Tube thing, keep writing new music and then will decide how to release that music.  He said as of now he's thinking he'll either do a solo thing or form his own band.  He didn't say this but I'd sort of envision a Daughtry type "band" where he kind of puts a band behind his name. So essentially, I think you're right on with his plans.  Ultimately, I think like you say, the control is a big part of it.  I think he wants to be able to operate on his own schedule to maintain his health and family obligations. It'll be interesting to see what sound the new material takes on.  It would seem logical to think it would be rock/melodic rock of some sort since that's really the type of music he's built his following with but he certainly has shown he can dabble anywhere from AOR to metal.
    • Glad I got to see them with Erik in front. All the best to him, definitely looking forward to his future outings when he is fully recovered. Would be cool to see him form his own band, where he could take control, and play around in different genres, from full on metal, to soothing AOR, the guy is so versatile.
    • Remedy - Crying Heart. One I've just seen thanks to the Iridium channel.  From the upcoming album. It's a Killer.     
    • Let's not forget Benny Hill. What a Magnificent show that was.    
    • Yeah... I dunno about that. It would be too cringe. Who knows? If I'm high enough, I might submit a video. 
    • Yep great track and if you fancy being in the video for "The Feeling" nows your chance.  
    • I'm proud to say that I had this single when I was a mere 8 years old. KISS were big down here then. Norman Gunston is Iconic for Aussies of my vintage.  The face ln the bottom left says it all. Hilarious.     
    • All in all, this is a great story. Erik played a brilliant, well received, albeit short cameo with one of our favourite bands.  It was a win, win, win. A win for us, a win for Skid Row (the album certainly put them back on the map) and a win for Erik, adding this to his already impressive resume. The fact that it was so amicable with both parties is also great to see.
    • I really like this album - not every song on it but there are some surprisingly catchy melodies all over. Personally I think the singer adds great energy to the mix. It reminds me of the earlier Bai Bang ("closer to you")
