Earlier today, German Symphonic metallers Xandria have unveiled their new singer and frontwoman, Manuela Kraller.

She started singing at the lately age of 23, took classical lessons and sang in church and gospel choirs. As her interest towards rock and metal music grew up on her, she found herself performing in a Swiss metal band called Nagor Mar. She also became a singer in the famous act Haggard as a tour musician. You can watch her personal introduction video below.

The band stated earlier: "The search has been long, but it has been worth it! She is the one we have been looking for! We already have begun working on the finalization of the music for the new album with her, so we hope to enter the studio for recording the new album in the new year as soon as possible."

And Manuela commented as follows: "Finally the waiting has come to an end and I am very happy to tell you that I am the new front woman of Xandria! At the moment we are working on the preproduction of the new album to present the new material as soon as possible to you. I am very excited about rocking the stages with the guys in future and I am looking forward to see you all live at the concerts!"

German metallers Xandria have issued the following update on their MySpace blog:

"Unfortunately we have to cancel the planned Xandria Tour in Mexico due to circumstances beyond our control. The Mexican promoter that booked these concerts has not fullfilled any contractual obligations, therefore making it impossible to make the trip. All tickets can be refunded where you bought them.

Xandria will be working on new dates in Mexico and once everything is clear we will announce these dates.

We feel sorry for all of you who wanted to come to our shows, we would really have loved to be with you and play them! Hope to see you all as soon as possible!

Big sorry, amigos!"

Event:	Xandria: Mexican Tour [CANCELLED]

German Symphonic metal act Xandria wants to share the following good and bad news with you:

"First the bad ones: it now appears that Kerstin Bischof (guest for Axxis) - who joined the band about a year ago - unfortunately can't be the permanent new singer of Xandria. Due to occupational and private reasons she wants to concentrate on her non-musical career in the future and cannot support Xandria the way it would be necessary. We wish her all the best for the future!

So here and now we are searching for a new singer again, details for applications follow in a few days. We know that you are waiting for a new album, and we are very sorry for keeping you waiting even longer for the new songs, with which we actually wanted to enter the recording studio now.

The good news is that we will play the coming concerts nevertheless, cause our old singer Lisa Middelhauve (guest for Celtic Frost) has agreed to step in for them. But she will not enter the band again, so this will be an unexpected last opportunity for many fans to experience her on stage with Xandria once more!"

Tour dates:

19.03.2010 - Mexico City (MX) - Multiforo Tlalpan (Showtime: 19:00)
19.03.2010 - Teotihuacan (MX) - Rockstk Festival (Showtime: 00:30)
20.03.2010 - Puebla (MX) - Estudio 803
21.03.2010 - Tabasco (MX) - El Rock Nos Une Festival
07.05.2010 - Thessaloniki (GR) - 8Ball Club
08.05.2010 - Athens (GR) - AN Club
10.07.2010 - Rockmaraton Festival - Pécs (HU)

On February 8th 2009, Xandria finally announced their new singer with the following message: "We all have waited long for this moment, and without putting you on the rack anymore we just introduce her to you now. The new Xandria singer's name is Kerstin Bischof, and here you get further infos on here."

Kerstin Bischof herself commented: "Finally I can come out with it! I'm so excited about being Xandria's woman at the mic in the future! The guys and I are busy writing new songs and I love it! I can hardly wait entering the stage with them for the first time! In the first audition rehearsal I already felt that it just fit perfectly together - the songs rocked! Of course the guys were kind of held back at that time but when they told me a few weeks later they felt the same...

So here we are in the midst of tour preparations for the gigs in the Czech Republic and I'm so excited about rocking the set live! You had to wait a long time for the official announcement and I want to thank you all for your patience - there was some "stuff" to get rid of. But finally it's official and time to rock! I'm looking forward to seeing you all on tour!"

German metallers Xandria have issued the following update:

"Lisa Middelhauve is not the singer of Xandria anymore. After almost eight years of successful work together she decided to leave the band due to personal reasons. For some time now Lisa didn´t feel comfortable with her role as Xandria´s front woman anymore and wants to step aside to make it possible for the band to find someone who can stand behind Xandria completely. A step that we all regret, but is highly respected.
We want to thank her for the great, successful and unforgettable time we had together and wish her only the best for the future! Thank you - your contribution to Xandria and everything you did for the band we will never forget!"

The band adds:
"The musical journey of Xandria will go on of course, and also in the future there will be great things to expect - be surprised! At the moment we are searching for a new female singer and will be back on stage with new songs and live dates. Information for candidates for the singer position will be posted here in the next days."
