Imagine Evanescence mixed with Enigma goes Kate Bush.....enter: X Anima. X Anima is new original music, with beautiful melodies, perfect grooves and excellent sound design. It's all a creative combination of pop-rock-electronica with elements of symphonic mixes. It's dark, light, fantasy, heaven and hell... How does a band go about creating new music? This question should be asked of X Anima, for on their new album they have created, not only new and innovative music - but also keenly individual and inspired songs. By uniting a voice which is ranging from an airy sound to rocky - sometimes almost operatic - combined with electronic synthezisers, a mean electric guitar with heavy riffs and ethnic sounds - X Anima has created music - which in their own classification could be called artrock/electronic. X Anima started as a project in February 2007. At first it was created and only existing in cyber space - but later on it turned into a live band with excellent musicians turning the story of X Anima live. Their debut album Inside Warrior will be released later in 2009 on Lion Music. Musicians: Jade Ell: vocals, lyrics, piano and all vocal arrangements, Pelle H?nd?n: keyboards, programs, Jan Hellman: bass, Fredrik S?derstr?m: drums, Erik Bernholm: guitars
