"Germany’s most exciting upstarts LEAGUE OF DISTORTION are breaking in with their hefty first single ever, “Wolf or Lamb” – a crushing modern nu-metal monster set to redefine the genre. Fronted by fiery vocalist Anna Brunner (EXIT EDEN) and fueled by gripping riffs presented by Jim Müller (KISSIN’ DYNAMITE), this crushing offering is one not to miss and acts as a first harbinger consisting of modern, melodic rhythms and technical prowess along with vocal dynamics to drop jaws.

Melissa Bonny is the best symphonic female vocalist not named Floor Jansen. Sadly, Ad Infinitum chooses to throw in incomprehensible death metal growling - which I flatly can't stand.
The band seems to have lost a bit of identity and direction. moving_pictures
#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.
