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 all time XANDRIA favorites “Ravenheart” (Ravenheart, 2004) and “Now & Forever” (India, 2005) showcase 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.
