“Universal Tales”: A New Chapter for Xandria

The symphonic metal powerhouses Xandria have unveiled their latest work, Universal Tales, and we are thrilled to welcome their extraordinary frontwoman, Ambre Vourvahis, to today's podcast. Since joining the band in 2022, Ambre has stepped into a legacy spanning back to Xandria’s formation in 1994. Taking on the role of lead vocalist in a symphonic metal band—a genre where vocals serve as a cornerstone of the sound—is no small feat. But Ambre has risen to the challenge, firmly establishing her place in the metal world.

In our conversation, Ambre reflects on her journey over the past two years. From releasing the acclaimed full-length album The Wonders Still Awaiting in 2023 to captivating audiences at global music festivals, her debut with Xandria has been nothing short of remarkable. Now, with the release of the Universal Tales EP in 2024, the band offers a fitting encore to their recent successes while paving the way for what’s to come. It’s safe to say Xandria is in the strongest shape it has ever been.

Beyond the music, Ambre shares her love of cooking—hinting that a future as a chef could one day be on the table. This episode is packed with engaging topics and showcases the multi-faceted talents of one of metal's brightest rising stars.
