5.0 out of 5 stars Techno Goth Metal, November 15, 2007

This review is from: Salomé - The Seventh Veil (Audio CD)

I have been a fan of Xandria for some time now and have picked up each of their albums. Each one brought the same fantastic Xandria signature sound and style.

While I am not a huge fan of Techno, I am a lover of the Gothic rock and Metal sound. Xandria manages to to combine all three to create a great style. Many will try to compare this band to other female fronted bands such as Within Temptation, After Forever, Epica, Nightwish and even Evenesence, but Xandria is a bit more unique than those. The only thing that compares them to those other bands is the fact that Xandria is fronted female singer.

Lisa Middelhauve on this new album hits some notes in the lower range and this really sets her apart from all of the Operatic female singers like Simone Simones, and Tarja. While Lisa never does do the opera style vocals, she can hit higher notes. I find her voice to be soft when it needs to be and have enough power when needed. The other good point about Xandria is they pretty much avoid the growls or Cookie monster talk that bands like After Forever and Epica add in and ruin good songs with.

Marco Heubuam is a solid guitar player and while he does not have the blazing spead that some other guitar players have, I find him to be solid and not over the top with his playing. His style adds a great mix to a great band.

Macro and Lisa do the majority of the writing and between the pair, they write some very good songs. On this new album I really enjoy Sisters of the Night which has a very techno sound to it and Vampire which takes Lisa to a very low range while singing.

The rest of the band made up of Nils Middelhauve bass (Lisa's husband), Phillip Restemeier guitar, and Gerit Lamm drums,are all solid and fill the need of the band.

If your looking for a band that is a bit different than all the other female fronted bands, check out Xandria. if your into bands with great looking lead singers, then Xandria is also in your bag. If you want music that is fun yet rocks then Xandria is the answer.

I will add since I started to listen to Xandria 2 years ago, I have gotten many fellow musicians and friends into Xandria.
