Throughout the song, a large classical choir takes center stage, while cinematic orchestral arrangements collide with modern metal riffing. Meanwhile, singer Ambre Vourvahis showcases her impressive vocal range, switching between multiple styles as effortlessly as she is convincing; a skill rare in symphonic metal as well as elsewhere. From harsh vocals all the way to operatic singing, \u201cColours\u201d creates a sound that is both grand and contemporary\u2014a powerful showcase of what modern symphonic metal can be.<\/p>\n<p>After the latest album (2023) became Xandria\u2019s most successful release to date, entering the Official German Album Charts at #9, the upcoming Eclipse, releasing August 7 via Napalm Records, is taking the band on their most diverse path yet.

Together with the first single, \u2018The Shannon\u2019s Home\u2019, it offers another glimpse into the many different colours of the album\u2014a journey full of discoveries, unexpected turns, and quite a few surprises. Just as diversity makes our world richer, it also shapes this album. Different voices, different perspectives, different emotions\u2014all part of what makes life richer, stronger and more beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watch the official music video for \u201cColours\u201d:<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"XANDRIA - Colours (Official Video) | Napalm Records\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nZ0zHvYSEsQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Xandria will release their new studio album, Eclipse, on August 7 via Napalm Records. The upcoming full-length features eleven tracks that represent the most diverse body of work in the band\u2019s discography so far: every song has its own identity \u2013 a journey full of discoveries \u2013 yet they all belong to the same world. Classic, \u201880s-inspired metal riffs stand alongside low-tuned modern metal guitars, cinematic orchestral sounds meet Celtic folk influences, and dark electronic elements blend with intimate rock moments, even including a guitar solo that owes more to Pink Floyd than to any metal genre.<\/p>\n<p>Eclipse marks Xandria\u2019s most outspoken and cinematic album so far: a dark, colourful, and defiant statement for reason, empathy, and democracy in times when all three are under attack, brought to life by a band fueled with new energy, new ambitions, and a clear artistic direction, aiming higher than ever and not looking back.<\/p>\n<p>While The Wonders Still Awaiting (2023) marked the rebirth of Xandria with a new lineup \u2013 an album that opened the door to a new era \u2013 Eclipse goes further. It is more focused and direct, the lyrics are more outspoken, dealing almost entirely with what is happening to our civilization right now. The contrasts are stronger, and the different musical and vocal colours feel even more naturally integrated into the songs. As Xandria\u2019s sole composer, Marco Heubaum musically draws inspiration from all aspects of his surroundings: music, stories, and emotions that have shaped him since childhood. It is no secret that film scores have always been another major influence, especially composers like Hans Zimmer and John Williams.<\/p>\n<p>As guests, Xandria welcomes Subway To Sally\u2019s violinist Ally Storch, who can be heard on \u201cLore,\u201d while the band\u2019s longtime friend McAlbi is featured on four songs with his Celtic tin and low whistles (\u201cThe Shannon\u2019s Home,\u201d \u201cNorthstar,\u201d \u201cMasquerade,\u201d and \u201cLore\u201d). \u201cThe Last Generation\u201d features a children\u2019s choir and piano performed by Richard Z. Wang, a Hollywood pianist who has worked at Hans Zimmer\u2019s studio. In addition, the band has once again collaborated with the Sofia Session Orchestra &amp; Choir, known for their work on numerous film and television scores, including His Dark Materials. All songs were orchestrated by two film score composers working in Hollywood: Lukas Geppert, who worked on the scores for Nobody 2 and the latest Final Destination, and Ishaan Tyagi, who has contributed to productions such as Wuthering Heights.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-628251 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bravewords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xandriabundle1526-750x592.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bravewords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xandriabundle1526-750x592.jpg 750w, https:\/\/bravewords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xandriabundle1526-768x606.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bravewords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xandriabundle1526-150x118.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bravewords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xandriabundle1526-450x355.jpg 450w, https:\/\/bravewords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xandriabundle1526.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" data-eio=\"l\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-628252 aligncenter lazyload\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/bravewords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xandriabundle2526-750x750.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bravewords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xandriabundle2526-750x750.jpg 750w, https:\/\/bravewords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xandriabundle2526-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bravewords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xandriabundle2526-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bravewords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xandriabundle2526-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bravewords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xandriabundle2526-450x450.jpg 450w, https:\/\/bravewords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xandriabundle2526.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-eio-rwidth=\"750\" data-eio-rheight=\"750\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-628252 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bravewords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xandriabundle2526-750x750.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bravewords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xandriabundle2526-750x750.jpg 750w, https:\/\/bravewords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xandriabundle2526-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bravewords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xandriabundle2526-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bravewords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xandriabundle2526-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bravewords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xandriabundle2526-450x450.jpg 450w, https:\/\/bravewords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xandriabundle2526.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" data-eio=\"l\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Eclipse will be available in the following formats:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 3CD Earbook, 36p, incl.
