Xandria drops new single official music video “Ghosts”

With a renewed line-up, symphonic metallers Xandria are back with a new single and a new official video clip, from the upcoming album “The Wonders Still Awaiting”, to be released in February 2023 via Napalm Records. The single, entitled “Ghosts“, continues along the group’s attempts to change their impact, paraphrasing the famous colleagues Epica and Nightwish.

In spite of everything, it is still an excellent proof of sound and direction. The group stated:

Ghosts actually started as a reminiscence to good old Swedish meldodic death metal and with that archetypical guitar riff that you hear right in the beginning. And then we integrated it into our Xandria soundscape with lots of film score atmosphere and big choirs, because it was exciting to mix these elements and do our own thing with it (still we kept the working title “Swedish Fire” for a long time…). It is a good example for how diverse the new album will be and how many different influences we were putting into it. We had a lot of things – little musical dreams – in our minds and hearts that we wanted to realize, and along with what you already heard in the first two new songs this is just one of them. There will be quite some more surprises coming…
