XANDRIA: Symphonic 'Eclipse' Drops in August — Mera Luna Festival Premiere

Xandria return with new album 'Eclipse' — release August 7, 2026 via Napalm Records, with eleven tracks of "the band's most varied material to date". The German symphonic metal institution times the release perfectly for their big festival appearance — they play Mera Luna Festival in Hildesheim just days later.

First Single 'The Shannon's Home': Folk Meets Symphonic Metal

Frontwoman Ambre Vourvahis dominates lead single 'The Shannon's Home' with her atmospheric vocals. Low-tuned contemporary metal guitars meet classic '80s-inspired riffs, orchestral drama blends with Celtic folk and dark electronic elements — plus a guitar solo that breathes more Pink Floyd than metal.

Eclipse Europe Tour in Fall

The big Eclipse tour through UK and Europe kicks off September 16, 2026, stopping in Belgium, France, Spain, Germany, Croatia, Italy, Austria, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Support: Seven Spires, Tulip, and Secret Rule. German dates are TBA — to catch Xandria live before that, head to Mera Luna in Hildesheim on August 8–9.
