Xandria成立于2000年，主唱Lisa Schaphaus、吉他手/键盘手Marco Heubaum、吉他手Philip Restemeier、鼓手Gerit Lamm – Schlagzeug，2003年4月发表自行制作的首张专辑《Kill The Sun》，受到关注，之后加盟德国金属名厂Drakkar，于2004年5月发表以探讨情欲为主的第二张专辑《Ravenheart》。
自由吉他手/鼓手 Marco 创立至今两年多一点的时间，Xandria 正以他们的首张大碟"kill thesun"，行进于对公众目光的征服之路。这张由dirk riegrer创制的大碟,值得你付出的绝不仅是匆匆一瞥。若想在其中搜寻或绚丽或夸张的音效，完全是徒劳的。毕竟xandria并不是在拼命地急于给自己的音乐定性，而是在简练紧凑的制作同时，将计划表做了巧妙多样的安排，以便给予主唱最多的表意的空间。乐队的歌者，lisa，通过这张专集表明了，对于那些针对在歌特金属表演中的女性的另人迷惑的标准，她不试图去遵守，她的每一个声音都发自于乐音与自己感情的共鸣中。她那多变而完美的吟唱，即便称不上幽雅，但她与我们分享的是她内心真实的倾诉。时而是精灵般的轻灵美丽，时而又充斥暴躁与尖锐 ，但始终是注满激情的。
乐队的创立者，marco认为，"teearing down of the hard farade"正恰如其分的表达了他从八十年代末期的死亡金属向如今更加复杂的黑色金属的进步，后者为如今乐队制作的核心。因此，除了在舞台表演要求下进行激情的表演，这支五人乐队从不热衷将体力浪费在其他任何形式的音乐活动中。处于最核心地位的是旋律，而有时歌声会比金属音效更使人成沉溺正是这一理论的明证。一旦你承认了流行与商业化间并没有紧密不可分的必要，你将发现跨越这广阔领域的赢家只能有一个：一首好歌。他也许会不自觉的将Xandria与Lacuna Coil,Nightwish,After forever和Within Temptation相提并论，但这种比较对于完全不同的音乐质地来说，是不公平的。
Xandria懂得如何同后现代主义带来得影响和平相处。精确的讲，乐队定义的尺度成为与因为他们复杂音乐产生的特定氛围与感情意义相同。引用成为音乐家们正当的媒体，拒绝在同时期歌特形式的文体目录中停步不前，而是有意识的使自己适应音乐的范围。Aandria没有丝毫压抑的轻松引用，同时又参考于其他艺术家对他们自己音乐的创作过程，在抽象的器乐的鉴赏方面加以利用，正如他们已经做过的一样。在这种最初等级上推定“Kill the sun”的价值恐怕很不准确，毕竟乐队正处于他们音乐前进史的开端，无论如何，还有一件事仍然可以肯定，这张专辑是同期最令人愉快的一张处女碟之一！因为他抓住了现代歌特金属的本质精髓：优雅，富有感情，令人感动。

eversleeping
once i travelled 7 seas to find my love
and once i sang 700 songs
well, maybe i still have to walk 7000 miles
until i find the one that i belong
i will rest my head side by side
to the one that stays in the night
i will lose my breath in my last words of sorrow
and whatever comes will come soon
dying i will pray to the moon
that there once will be a better tomorrow
once i crossed 7 rivers to find my love
and once, for 7 years, i forgot my name
well, if i have to i will die 7 deaths just to lie
in the arms of my eversleeping aim
i will rest my head side by side
to the one that stays in the night
i will lose my breath in my last words of sorrow
and whatever comes will come soon
dying i will pray to the moon
that there once will be a better tomorrow
i will rest my head side by side
to the one that stays in the night
i will lose my breath in my last words of sorrow
and whatever comes will come soon
dying i will pray to the moon
that there once will be a better tomorrow
i dreamt last night that he came to me
he said: "my love, why do you cry?"
for now it won't be along any more
until in my cold grave we will lie
