German symphonic metallers XANDRIA will release their new studio album, “Eclipse”, on August 7, 2026, via Napalm Records. The official music video for the LP’s second single, “Colours”, was released recently.

Marco Heubaum comments on “Colours”:

“This is the second song from our upcoming album that we are proud to share with you. Together with the first single, ‘The Shannon’s Home’, it offers another glimpse into the many different colours of the album — a journey full of discoveries, unexpected turns, and quite a few surprises. Just as diversity makes our world richer, it also shapes this album. Different voices, different perspectives, different emotions — all part of what makes life richer, stronger and more beautiful.

Wang, a Hollywood pianist who has worked at Hans Zimmer’s studio. In addition, the band has once again collaborated with the Sofia Session Orchestra & Choir, known for their work on numerous film and television scores, including “His Dark Materials”. All songs were orchestrated by two film score composers working in Hollywood: Lukas Geppert, who worked on the scores for “Nobody 2” and the latest “Final Destination”, and Ishaan Tyagi, who has contributed to productions such as “Wuthering Heights“.
