Following the release of the universally praised studio album Sacrificium and the successful debut of charismatic vocalist Dianne van Giersbergen, the new EP Fire & Ashes rises like a phoenix. With full symphonic force, three brand new songs and two special remakes of Xandria favorites “Ravenheart” and “Now & Forever,” it showcases the band at their very best. On top of that the band recorded two exclusive cover songs including “Don`t Say A Word” (Sonata Arctica) and “I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That)” (Meat Loaf). Both are recorded perfectly with emotional sweeping arrangements, crowned by the breathtaking voice of Dianne.
