Xandria

Xandria is a German symphonic metal band founded in 1994 by Marco Heubaum. Initially started as a project, it was reformed as a full band in 1999 after a brief disbandment. Heubaum remained the main composer throughout its history, while the band underwent numerous lineup changes, particularly in the role of lead vocalist. The band’s debut album, "Kill the Sun" (2003), featured vocalist Lisa Middelhauve (née Schaphaus), who also contributed to songwriting.
