Just in time for the release of their epic nine-track EP, “Universal Tales”, German symphonic metallers XANDRIA have unleashed the Celtic-inspired track “200 Years” together with a cinematic official music video. “Universal Tales” drops this Friday, November 22 via Napalm Records.

Watch “200 Years”  below.

On “200 Years”XANDRIA fully embraces their Celtic roots like never before and explores the realms of the well-known book and TV series “Outlander”. Accented by renowned violinist Ally Storch (SUBWAY TO SALLY),mesmerizing violin merges with resolute drums and with the blockbuster-like atmosphere, immediately transporting fans to distant realms, fighting for a free and fair world. “200 Years” is now available on all streaming services worldwide.

XANDRIA on the new single “200 Years”: “We hope you enjoy our new song and video! It’s inspired by our deep love for Scotland and its rich history. The many stories of this land have sunk deep into our collective consciousness, becoming the roots of the fantasy worlds we all share — worlds filled with epic tales, like those of Middle-earth and beyond. Stories of people fighting for freedom, love, and the survival of their culture. This one’s for you. Slàinte mhath!”

XANDRIA on the new single “No Time To Live Forever”:
“You already know ‘Universal’ from our upcoming EP, and after receiving such overwhelmingly positive feedback from you, it is now time for ‘No Time To Live Forever’. If you loved the bombastic choirs and operatic vocals in ‘Universal’, you are in for a treat with this one… prepare for a ride!”

XANDRIA on the new EP:
“This EP is a big ‘Thank you!!’ to all our fans who welcomed us back in such an amazing and heartwarming way last year. The energy and connection we felt during our live shows with you inspired us to quickly write new songs, and we couldn’t wait to share them with you.
 
Each of the new songs shows a different side of us, so there’s a lot to discover on this EP – and we can’t wait to play these new songs live for you! We’ll see you all at our shows in Europe this November and in North America next March!”
