Strange, I noticed Edenbridge not before 2017's "The Great Momentum", which became one of my alltime female fronted metal albums. "Dynamind" is currently on the same way. The selection of songs is varied, they are catchy, powerful, touching and not overburden with symphonic elements. The distinctive vocals remind me sometimes at a metallic version of Karen Carpenter's unique soulful voice. I guess that is a very personal impression. Anyway, "Dynamind" is a must have for fans of the genre! H.L.
A powerful metal opus, blending soaring vocals, intricate melodies, and thunderous riffs for an epic listening experience. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 26, 2023
#3 2023: "XANDRIA reborn", concerning the line-up. In terms of music it is what you expect from one of the leading symphonic metal bands. 75 minutes(!) of bombastic, dramatic, well arranged and varied female fronted metal. Each song on this long player is catchy, full of pathos and a hit, Also the new singer makes a great job and brings soul into the heavy soundscapes. A must have release for fans of this genre. Not original, but better than all Nightwash releases since "Dark Passion Play"! H.L.
