Seeing a band live who are renowned for their epic live performances is always incredible, and although I love listening to their recordings, this was the main reason that I was hyped to go and see Xandria perform live. The lights were out and three blue spot lights began to cover the stage, as the smoke machine erupted its dry ice across the stage. When the lights finial came up, the drummer was stood behind his kit with his arms in the air, as the rest of the band made their way on stage.
The symphonic metal band opened with their track Nightfall, and immediately everyone in the audience was captivated and singing and dancing along totally full out. Although the band have had several line up changes, in my opinion, these have only made the band stronger and have allowed them to keep creating new and exciting music without the restrictions of what they’ve always done. Their new vocalist has the most incredible voice, and hearing her sing opera styled music over the top of metal guitar and drums was the perfect juxtaposition of sounds.
