Xanima

Xanima is new original music, with beautiful melodies, perfect grooves and excellent sound design. It's all a creative combination of pop, progressive and electronica with elements of symphonic mixes. It's dark, light, fantasy, heaven and hell. Their debut album is entitled Inside Warrior (Lion Music (Finland) LMC263, 2009). Prolific artist Jade Ell's vocals on this album are indeed reminscent of Kate Bush. Inside Warrior has not only new and innovative music but also keenly individual and inspired songs. The lyrics tell stories of mysteries in modern times, such as the mind of a serial killer, the phenomenon of poltergeist, Jonestown, the power of the spirit and mind and the life after death. By uniting a voice which is ranging from an airy sound to rocky--sometimes almost operatic--combined with electronic synthesizers, a mean electric guitar with heavy riffs and ethnic sounds. Xanima has created music, which in their own classification could be called art rock/electronic. X Anima started as a project in February 2007. At first it was created in cyberspace, but later on it turned into a live band with excellent musicians turning the story of X Anima live.
