Xandria was formed back in 1994 in Germany and since then the band’s music has been through some clear evolutionary phases. As the quintet basks in a newfound popularity, I spoke with guitarist Philip Restemeier about, amongst other things, Xandria’s music, life on the road, phonetics (!) and Xandria’a forthcoming album. The interview is divided into two parts.
(Note: apologies for having mis-named Xandria’s EP at the beginning of the interview!)
Current line-up:
Dianne van Giersbergen – vocals
