XANDRIA | Kraków

Leading German symphonic metal band Xandria returns to Poland in autumn, performing on October 13 at Warsaw's Hydrozagadka and the following day at Kraków's Zaścianek. Both concerts will be supported by Seven Spires and Secret Rule.

Xandria has been active for thirty years and began a new chapter three years ago. This new era is marked by vocalist Ambre Vourvahis and the success of their first album with her, "The Wonders Still Awaiting", which is their eighth and arguably best record to date. The numbers speak for themselves - with this album, the German band broke into the top ten best-selling albums in their home country for the first time, and performed even better on the British rock charts. In 2024, they struck again with the EP "Universal Tales", further cementing their position in the symphonic metal world.

Seven Spires is undoubtedly one of the most active bands on the American symphonic metal scene in recent years, distinguished by their distinctive sound that blends elements of melodic death metal, power metal, and even black metal. Their discography was completed two years ago with the Frontiers Music release "A Fortress Called Home".

The concert will open with Italian band Secret Rule, who gained wider recognition in 2017 with the album "The Key to the World". Like the rest of the line-up, symphonic metal forms the foundation of their sound, but the Rome-based quartet increasingly incorporates modern influences, which is evident on their recent release "X". They have performed alongside Scorpions, Amaranthe, and Visions of Atlantis, so you can expect a solid start to the evening!
