1994 - 1997
A predecessor of the band was formed by Marco Heubaum (guitars, keyboards), drawing inspiration from Bands like Tiamat and Paradise Lost. This band was already named Xandria, but due to musical dissension between the members, they parted ways in 1997.
1999 - 2009
In 1999 Marco Heubaum started Xandria again with new musicians. A demo was recorded in 2000, and they presented the five songs on the internet. After great success on different MP3 portals, they released their first album Kill the Sun in 2003, which reached #98 on the German music charts. The sophomore Ravenheart (2004), stayed on the charts for 7 weeks, reaching #36. In 2005 they released their third album India, which is more oriented to the symphonic metal. Their fourth album Salomé - The Seventh Veil, released in 2007, was a step away from the bombastic sound of the two predecessors and at least in Germany not such a big success as "Ravenheart" or "India".
2009
As of April 30th, 2008 the band announced that vocalist Lisa Middelhauve left the band due to personal reasons and that the band is searching for a new singer. On February 8th, 2009 an announcement on their website introduced the new singer, 28-year old Kerstin Bischof, but on February 18th 2010 the band announced that Kerstin will no longer be the bands vocalist because she decided to pursue her career outside the music business.
2010
In December 2010 it was announced on Xandrias web site that Manuela Kraller will be the new singer for the band.
The new album "Neverworld´s End" was released on February 24th 2012 (Europe) / March 6th 2012 (USA).
2013 - present
On the 25th of October 2013 the band announced Manuela's departure, who regrettably decided to continue a different musical path. Dutch singer Dianne van Giersbergen (also known from Ex Libris) was announced to become the new lead singer. In January 2014 the band announced the title for their upcoming album with Dianne called 'Sacrificium', which is set to be released on May the 2nd, 2014.
On 24 May 2022, the band posted a music video of their new song "Reborn", where []Ambre Vourvahis[] was announced as the new vocalist. Furthermore, Tim Schwarz was announced as the new bassist, and drummer Dimitros Gatsios and guitarist Rob Klawonn replacing departing longtime members Gerit Lamm and Philip Restemeier, respectively. On 7 September 2022, the band released another song, "You Will Never Be Our God"

Xandria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm drowning in my tears
It's pain I'm learning
My Heart is aching
Got poison in my veins
In hell I'm burning
Save my life
Let these tears be our secret
My You and I
You and I
Once we were so close
Save my life
It's all or nothing
I'm asking you to give
Let live or die
Everything is better
Than this silent lie
Say that it's no lie!
Save my life
Save my life
Let these tears be our secret
You and I
You and I
Once we were so close
Save my life
I need you to save my life
Save my life
Save my life
Let these tears be our secret
You and I
You and I
Once we were so close
Save my life
Save my life
Let me feel you breathing
In your hands
In your hands
Is the heart of mine
Save my life

Mi alma esta vacía
me estoy ahogando en mis propias lágrimas
eso es el dolor, lo estoy aprendiendo
mi corazón está golpeando
el veneno corre por mis venas
en el infierno me estoy quemando
salva mi vida
salva mi vida
deja que estas lágrimas sean nuestro secreto
tu y yo
tu y yo
ahora que estamos tan cerca
salva mi vida
eso es todo o nada
estoy pidiéndote entregar
deja vivir o morir
cualquier cosa es mejor
este silencio es mentira
di eso, eso no es mentira

salva mi vida
deja que estas lágrimas sean nuestro secreto
tu y yo
tu y yo
ahora que estamos tan cerca
salva mi vida

Minha alma sente-se vazia
Eu estou me afogando nas minhas lágrimas
Isso é dor, eu estou aprendendo.
Meu coração está batendo
Veneno corre em minhas veias
No inferno, eu queimo
Salve minha vida
Salve minha vida
Deixe essas lágrimas ser nosso segredo
Você e eu
Você e eu
Uma vez estávamos tão perto
Salve minha vida
Isso é tudo ou nada
Eu estou pedindo para você dar
Deixe viver ou morrer
Qualquer coisa é melhor
Que esta mentira silenciosa
Diga isso, isso não é mentira!
Eu preciso que você salve minha vida
Salve minha vida

Deixe me sentir sua respiração
Em suas mãos
Em suas mãos
Está o meu coração

Si por alguna lamentable razón nunca habías escuchado a Xandria en tu vida, y esta fuera la primera canción que escucharas del grupo, de seguro te enamorarás de él. Yo lo estoy desde hace mucho, mucho tiempo, tal vez veinte años, quizá más. El equilibrio y armonía entre voz, música, lyrics es sublime, es pura poesía en metal. Xandria, fronted ya sea por Lisa o Manuela es un grupo entrañable para todos aquellos que dentro de nosotros tenemos un Reavenheart.

Que espetáculo sonoro.. Xandria
