XANDRIA - Valentine | Napalm Records

[@danielpiresgallotti9421]

Her voice is amazing ! This is the real symphonic metal

[@gdrlss1535]

Manuela has a distinctive "Power" in her style, like a queen giving orders at the battlefront. Diane, in contrast, reminds me more of a playful princess, or faerie guiding a troop of warriors.

[@waleedsmz]

+Gabe Lopez What an expressive comment :D

[@esuna6352]

+Gabe Lopez wow.. indeed!!

[@imscheck]

+Gabe Lopez so sad Manuela retired. She kinda fits better into Xandria's style of music than Dianne i think, though i like her too

[@arkiuskindfire]

Gabe Lopez Love that description both are fantastic singers with their own take on the same style.

[@gabrielb.3630]

Yeah, hey, that was an interesting compariossion fits perfectly to what I myself see on the singers too. Good one

[@gothicknight5538]

Xandria needs more music videos, they're f**king amazing!!

[@DamnationDesire]

I hate that people keep comparing this to Nightwish, as well as the two vocalists. It's not fair that everyone has to be a "Nightwish wannabe" or "copycat." Yes, Nightwish created something great, but that doesn't mean that nobody else can have a similar style. In that case 98% of all musicians would be "copycats." Everyone gets inspiration from SOMEONE, and I don't see why being like Nightwish would be a bad thing anyways. Besides, there are several bands with this style, it's just that only a few have been recognized. It's a great sound, so please act like adults and enjoy it. They're both good, no, great. Quit comparing the two.

[@richardkruspe9383]

For sure,besides that,therion came in 88.And the whole thing began with Queen and the album A night at the opera.Some nightwish fans are crazy.Imagine if any band of heavy metal starts right now,they would say "bad copy" of Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden.Cheers

[@lorenasanches8082]

You know how I feel

[@tuckercoffin2164]

Who gives a damn really? I mean having two bands like Nightwish is already great enough. :D The more the merrier!

[@richardkruspe9383]

Tucker Coffin Xandria is not like NW.If you listen to their last album(Sacrificium),with the new singer Dianne,you can realize that guitars and drums are faster.They resemble power metal at some songs. Take a look at Stardust and Betrayer)both from Xandria) :)

[@tuckercoffin2164]

I know, I didn't mean they were exactly similar. I honestly don't even care. I love them both! The last album rocks, btw!

[@melonie42O]

I love Manuela's voice so wonderful. Diane is also absolutely amazing and I love her work with the band too. I know everyone wants to compare them to Nightwish. Both bands are amazing, there is no need to compare them. I do prefer Floor with Nightwish, and I love Tarja's work since she went solo. Still all four of those women have amazing voices.

[@begumbulbul1287]

Well said 👏🏻😊💐

[@geordiejohnston9815]

In short music is in the ear of the beholder. It would be a boring old world if everyone loved the same thing.

[@UbiMortus]

Stop comparing Xandria with Nightwish. Xandria are more aggressive while Nightwish has a certain elegance to their songs, especially the ones with Tarja. But in the end they are both great bands and it only comes down to everyone's personal preference.

[@redeyecat]

+Alexandru Ionescu You didn't listened to Slaying the Dreamer or Wish I Had An Angel right? I mean, c'mon...

[@UbiMortus]

DanteDiangello buddy, i listen to Nightwish since before they were a thing.

[@redeyecat]

Alexandru Ionescu yeah, sure "buddy"

[@mewtje3095]

+Alexandru Ionescu I personally think they DO share similiarities. Nightwish kinda shaped this sort of Metal, so pretty much every Band with an Operavoice as Lead gets compared to "old" Nightwish. I do agree that people could finally get over it though.

[@UbiMortus]

Mew Tje I didn't say that Xandria shares nothing of their style with Nightwish, I just made an observation that they are not yet at their level. But they have time, I enjoy their music and especially this new lead is great. So, keep up the good work.

[@Jarvis87378]

Out of the many opera-style metal vocalists that I know only two are really special: Tarja and Manuella. I don't get what is the secret maybe it's a mix of things like a very rich timbre, great range and skills or personal style but they have a kind of "luxury" or "splendour" in their voices.

[@finallywoken13]

There are a lot of years that i listened and watched this music video, but I realized that my feeling is still the same, love Xandria and Manuella. ♥

I keep coming back to this video since I love Xandria, and Everytime I can't get over how much of a presence Manuela commands in this video, those eyes and her voice, she is the living definition of a siren and I love it all.

I interviewed Xandria in 2015 and they said they take being compared to Nightwish as a big compliment as they're such a great band. I find that both bands have their own vibe and sound.

[@trevorh8671]

I have watched this clip and listened to this song hundreds of times - to me it is the greatest Symphonic Metal song ever released - especially with Manuela as the vocalist - absolutely fantastic!

The best album of Xandria. Manuela pushed the whole thing to a new dimension. Reminds to old Nightwish. Just Silent Elegy now left as a new hope.

Looked them up based on this comment. Unfortunately they only released one album.

[@Unit-ro6km]

Manuela Kraller - what a voice! and beautiful beyond belief!

[@duncanbuchanan3269]

This is a high quality symphonic metal band. Yes she sounds closer to Tarja than Floor, but her sound is genuine and unique. I would happily go and see them. They are VERY VERY GOOD. I can say this as Nightwish fan.

[@RammmFan]

exactly my thoughts... as an hardcore Tarja's Nightwish fan, i do realy admire Xandria with Manuela, as piece of gold to my ears... temporary fix for heartbroken Nightwish fan... and considering that Xandria replaced Manuela (SACRILEGE AND SIN!!!!!!), and then Dianne too (FREAKING BLASPHEMY), 2 tragedies which can compete with tragedy of Nightwish and Tarja... for me less painful, but still tragedies... how could this happen. after reaching Olympus with those women, they freaking discard them, instead of going on and progressing, evolving, transcending... i can't understarnd... was the level too high to follow, and they are stepping down from Olympus to mediocrity... are they afraid to follow their own success, with making not better, but at least the same level stuff? I DON'T believe it... they create good stuff afterwards too... but why did they need to procede with those freaking blasphemy of replacing those singers... imagine all that amazing stuff composers, particularly Tuomas created after throwing Tarja away, imagine that good stuff but also with Tarja in them, that would be out of the world,high class stuff

[@gregbeeks4825]

I liked this woman the best what ever happed to her and were is she now is she still making music because i realy dont care about the band im honestly souly her fan

[@leonleenaarts6000]

The most intrueging song ever !!! Fabulous lyrics, magic chords !!!! Tribute

[@LB-ne4zq]

I found this band by accident while searching for a different one and I clicked it out of curiosity. I am glad I did because she has a stunningly beautiful voice and I love the way she dresses. I'm not usually into metal (it is metal, right? sorry, I'm not always sure what genre a band fits into) but I like them. Maybe the lead vocals being female has something to do with it, I don't know. But I always enjoy finding new music that I end up liking.

[@TheEternalDammed]

Shame she left, i really like her voice, shes an amazing singer by far the best Xandria have had, even better than the one that replaced her.

[@Juos10kustu]

this song is the best from xandria. and this vocalist is the best!!!

[@munteanucatalin9833]

I've listened a little bit of this new band (or older according to wikipedia) and IT SOUNDS SURPRISINGLY GOOD. A Gothic band with symphonic metal and rock metal. I like this and I will certainly follow them more closely.

[@大久保喜博]

It's a song that exposes the contradictions in the world. While embracing endless despair in my heart.

[@Creativinity7]

I hope the new album is similar. Things are not looking so great right now with the new lyric video for Dreamkeeper. "Neverworld's End" remains one of my favorite albums of all time.

[@codythinks4749]

When i hear this song or ‘Upon fallen autumn leaves’ by haggard, I can’t help but wonder how Manuela might have fared as lead singer in nightwish I adore floor like a lot loved her way before her nightwish days totally loved after forever and revamp, but I feel that Manuela’s vocals the operatic nature fit more closely to the Tarja era nightwish sound than floors classically influenced vocals, I’m not saying any are the better singer because all three are favourite vocalists of mine but for what I liked about nightwish I think Manuela would’ve been perfect

[@leo73323]

Heads up! I'm one hell of a Nightwish fan and have been for yyeeaarrss, so baring that in mind, don't compare Xandria to Nightwish. It's roughly like comparing Ferrari to Lamborghini. Both are super cars.. but both are totally different. Xandria has qualities LIKE Nightwish of old, but NW is going in a slightly different direction now. Xandria very much has their own sound. Xandria is excellent and I recommend them to anyone who likes this genre. They have a fantastic sound. The symphonic world is happy to have this band. :)

[@DCAkmong]

Just because Tarja is best known than Manuela, doesn't mean she is better. I think that Manuela is one of the best classical singers in metal bands. In other words, I guess that Manuela is better than Tarja. I love both, but Manuela is unique. In fact, Neverworld's End is my favorite album from Symphonic Metal.

[@ГеоргиПеев-й3ы]

100% agreed. Though I love Neverworld's End and Sacrificium equally and Manuela and Dianne equally. Also this: Xandria-defending time. A lot people who have heard the symphonic metal band Xandria say they are simply a "not-bad" or "Hm... It's close as quality" clone of Nightwish. Now, that I learned more about soprano types and thought and analysed even deeper, I can even better argue with this opinion. For me, Xandria is an "upgraded" version of Nightwish. They are way more epic. Now I will explain why. 1/ The vocal harmonies are more intense, bigger, wider, with more voices, more often and more accented. (e.g. especially the 3:41 part of Nightfall, the Pactum Fraudis part in Valentine at 2:31. You can't see that intense, epic, powerful and high-pitched vocal harmonies in any Nightwish song, right? And it’s only one part of one song that has a few more parts like that, while there are around 2 more douzens of songs that are around the levels of Valentine or even MORE intense and epic than Valentine (e.g. nearly the basically whole Nightfall except the guitar solo literally doesn’t let you breathe because of that kind of vocal harmonies)) 2/ There are some occasional choirs and they have a gothic hint in a big part of their songs. (e.g. A Prophecy of Worlds to Fall; We Are Murderers; Cursed; Burn Me; Nightfall; Stardust; Betrayer and more). The gothic hint make them also more variable than the nearly only symphonic power metal-based Nightwish. Before we go to №3, I have to explain the differences between the soprano types. Lyric soprano is a soprano that has enough power to only be heard over the orchestra but doesn't really shine with power, epicness, intensity. They are best at spinning out long, delicate, lyric lines. This is usually calmer, right? A dramatic soprano is usually a soprano with a bit lower/smaller range but has a REALLY powerful voice and sends shivers down the spine and makes you full goosebumps with thoughts like "WOW, this is unbelievably epic, powerful and intense". They are best at punching out very dramatic passages. A spinto soprano is a soprano that is between the 2 and combines the characteristics of the 2. Spintos can both easily hit the high notes of a lyric soprano, yet can be "pushed" on to achieve dramatic climaxes without strain. So here we come to 3: 3/ Tarja is a lyric soprano. Dianne van Giersbergen is a spinto soprano (I thought for a long time she was a dramatic one but this is actually better because it is both Tarja and epicness at the same time). So, in terms of epicness and intensity: Dianne van Giersbergen >>> Tarja Turunen ANY DAY. Manuela Kraller seems as a dramatic soprano to me, so the same can be said about her with even bigger confidence.

But compare Tarja with Manuela live Tarja sounds the same or even better live. But they're both amazing 😊

As far as I'm concerned, Xandria and Nightwish are how symphonic metal SHOULD sound. Both great bands.
