Video premiere: Xandria - Dreamkeeper

Xandria have released a lyric video for their track Dreamkeeper – view the premiere now.

It’s taken from the German symphonic metal outfit’s sixth album Sacrificium, due on May 5 via Napalm Records.

They say of the follow-up to 2012’s Neverworld’s End: “Sacrificium will continue the musical journey and direction of the last CD – but it will bring in even more of everything people liked about the last one.”

Xandria kick off a European tour on May 1, which includes a show at London’s Underworld on May 9, followed by a set at the Dames Of Darkness festival in Bilston on May 10.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
