Description:

This is the long-awaited eighth album by German symphonic metal band Kissandria, six years since their last album "Theater of Dimensions", released in 2017, and much anticipated by fans. The band was formed in 1994 by Marco Heubaum (G) and Niki Welz (Ds) and disbanded once, but was reunited by Marco in 1999. In May 2022, Marco will send a message to the fans about the departure of the new band and release an advance single "KISSANDRIA" with the new lineup. The preceding single "Reborn," produced with the new lineup, was released on YouTube. The song has now received an astounding 800,000+ views. A five-member lineup has been announced, consisting of Marco Heubaum (G), Amber Wurwei (Vo), Rob Crown (G), Tim Schwartz (B), and Dimitros Gatchios (Ds).The second advance single, "You Will Never Be God," features a guest appearance by Primal Fear's Ralph Shepers . The band says of the song, "This song shows how broad our next album will be. This one song alone shows elements of two genres, classic metal and modern metal, and how fresh it can be when you fuse them together to create something new. At the same time, this song also contains all the elements that are symbolic of Kissandria, such as the epic cinematic orchestration and the heavy choir," he said, indicating the band's high expectations for the new album.
