Symphonic metallers Xandria have a great single in Northstar.
The band’s Marco Heubaum said: “‘Northstar’ is a very special song to me. The melody came to me in a dream, and when I woke up, I immediately recorded it. I soon realized that I had never written anything quite like it before — it really felt like something magical coming from a dreamworld.
“The song has the wondrous atmosphere of a magical Disney movie, and I think you can feel that all the way through. It takes you on a little journey, with a bright light waiting beyond the darkness. Once again, it shows just how many different facets this album has – and we are far from done. Just wait until you hear what’s still to come…”
Northstar features on Xandria’s new album Eclipse (August 7, Napalm Records).
