Xandria Posts "200 Years" Video Online

Just in time for the release of their epic upcoming nine-track EP, "Universal Tales," German symphonic metal icons Xandria unleash the Celtic-inspired track "200 Years" together with a cinematic official music video. The new EP, "Universal Tales," drops this Friday, November 22, 2024 via Napalm Records!

On "200 Years," Xandria fully embraces their Celtic roots like never before and explores the realms of the well-known book and TV series Outlander. Accented by renowned violinist Ally Storch (Subway To Sally), mesmerizing violin merges with resolute drums and with the blockbuster-like atmosphere, immediately transporting fans to distant realms, fighting for a free and fair world. "200 Years" is now available on all streaming services worldwide.

This EP follows the success of their latest top 10 charting album (German charts), "The Wonders Still Awaiting" (2023), which introduced an impressive new line up featuring the fantastic Ambre Vourvahis, who stuns audiences with her vocal talent that blends elements of rock grit, operatic highs and even growls.

Xandria on the new single “200 Years”:
"We hope you enjoy our new song and video! It’s inspired by our deep love for Scotland and its rich history. The many stories of this land have sunk deep into our collective consciousness, becoming the roots of the fantasy worlds we all share - worlds filled with epic tales, like those of Middle-earth and beyond. Stories of people fighting for freedom, love, and the survival of their culture. This one’s for you. Slàinte mhath!" More...
