German symphonic metallers Xandria are set to release Theater of Dimensions on January 27th, 2017 via Napalm Records making it a direct follow-up from 2014’s Sacrificium. The new album is promised to be one of their heaviest albums to date as they once explained, “a hyper-emotional affair.” There are quite a few guest vocalists on this release that includes Henning Basse (Firewind), Björn Strid (Soilwork), Ross Thompson (Van Canto), and Zaher Zorgati (Myrath). With 2016 about to wrap up, Napalm Records unveiled a few snippets of what the new album will sound. One Question remains, is it heavy enough for them to embark a full North American Tour? You can hear the snippets here and preorders are available as well.
