As for why? Many would say that this symphonic metal is dead, having devolved into circus pop. But that is not so!! True symphonists who go hard know that all the latest releases of 2011-12 turned out to be quite good. And this album is no exception. Typical Xandria-style sublime melodicism mixed with the disappointment of dreams creates an unforgettable atmosphere. It's not despair, but rather a crossroads—nostalgia for a little world in one bottle combined with the search for a new path. Of course, it didn't go without some purely dreamy songs.
I recommend starting with these:
Xandria - Euphoria
O Euphoria, sweet lies that you are
Let the child fade away, just memories stay
Xandria - Call Of The Wind
Leave behind the land that has beend turned to grey
Where the winds have whispered only from so far away
Xandria - Blood On My Hands
The river of life is all filled with sins
The water I drink is the blood on my hands

За всем следят машины благодати и любви.
