Xandria - Kill the Sun
Drakkar Entertainment  Eline: At the end of 2000, this new band started recording the songs for what would become the "Kill the Sun" EP Demo. They feature Lisa's great voice, along with the great musical talent of the other members of the band. These songs were very successful on sites as mp3.com. Over the year 2001, the number of people downloading Xandria songs was remarkable. The year 2001 also saw some line-up changes for Xandria, but at the same time a lot of positive reviews were written, including "Best Newcomer of the Year" over the demo disk "Kill the Sun". By the end of 2001, the line-up was complete and Xandria started doing live shows all over Germany for 2002. They will also be performing with Tanzwut. Negotiations about a record deal began in the summer of 2002. They were very successful and at the beginning of the year 2003 they released a full-length album, "Kill the Sun", which I am reviewing right now. Some of their songs I already know because I found them on the internet. You can hear these songs are far better recorded and they play a lot better then they used too. Lisa's voice sounds very fresh and smooth in his album, as do the guitars. The drums are more background sound, you don't hear them very well. Too bad this album only contains 10 songs, 40 minutes of music. I think it is rather little compared to the other releases these days. Nevertheless this CD is a good one to spend your money on, because it has it all: power, emotions and aggressive sounds.
Score 72/100
