"We have been overwhelmed by the amazing feedback for our album 'The Wonders Still Awaiting' and are so grateful for our wonderful fans! All this positive energy inspired us to write new music quickly, and here is the first song of the new music waiting for you! We hope you enjoy it! Thank you so much for your support!
In memory of Jina Mahsa Amini and for all the brave people everywhere else in the world who fight for human rights. Human rights are universal.
But they are not respected everywhere, and where they are, they can be taken away again. That means that we all need to be constantly defending them, and we need to be standing together with all people in the world for that. "

ambre is stunningly beautiful.
She just shows she has one of the best voices in the symphonic metal scene right now 🔥🔥💯 Xandria is finally again the contender for being the best symphonic metal band atm
Universal Lyrics [Intro] (I will fight if I live another day) [Verse 1] I gave it all, in silence Until I could not anymore I see the hours passing by every day But I'll never gonna hide forever You should know there will be the day for us When we raise our thousand voices Screaming out loud [Pre-Chorus] No more possessing our bodies and minds No more oppression by your holy lies Enough is enough Now we claim it back Our Universal right [Chorus] I will fight our fight 'Til the end of our time I will fight if I live another day I can hear all their cries In this everlasting night Now we claim it back Now we take it back We will never let it go We will fight our fight [Verse 2] In our name remember A fragile world is what we built We cannot let them take it all away How I wish I could be standing with you When we let the world see our face I am one of thousand voices Let's scream it out loud [Pre-Chorus] I will be holding your hands in the end Our eyes will be closed but we will never bend Enough is enough Now we claim it back Our Universal right [Chorus] I will fight our fight 'Til the end of our time I will fight if I live another day (Live another day) I can hear all their cries In this everlasting night Now we claim it back Now we take it back We will never let it go We will fight We will fight [Bridge] See me now Ripping it off from me I am no slave no more Nobody owns my life Once we will just be a memory All that is left is the pain you feel But all this blood has not been shed in vain (Not been shed in vain) Chorus] I will fight our fight 'Til the end of our time I will fight if I live another day (Live another day) I can hear all their cries In this everlasting night Now we claim it back Now we take it back We will never let it go [Outro] See my veil I let it fall See who I really am I let it fall
I love the fact that Opera and Heavy Metal Music are combined... 🍻 🥃 🥃 🎸 🎵 🎶 🎶
This takes Xandria with Ambre to a new level. Not only is the music better but the video also brings the whole band together in a way we haven't seen before. Excellent!
Another awesome fantastic performance by xandria🥂🥂🥂🍾🍾🎤🎸🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁
The operatic part is so good! Congratulations to this new great song!
Fantastic song, in the same league of any of the tracks from The Wonders Still Awaiting, and that says a lot of how good Universal is. Xandria continues to be one of the highlights of metal after releasing a masterpiece last year 🤘🔥
What Beautiful voice Ambre !!! 3:05 😍👏 4:03 Lovely ❤
I liked it, she needed to release her lyrics
Xandria strikes again with amazing epic song, unbelievably charming voice and beautiful music video 👏👏👏 🤘😍✨⚡🔥♥️🔥⚡✨😍🤘
4:04mim, moments like this remind me why i love Symphonic metal!! 😍♥️ Really great song, i'm listening in a endless loop. Please, let Ambre use more her operatic voice, it's so beautifull and really brings a new dimension to the songs
Saw her in concert , in this operatic part she shines like an angel !
YESSSSS
Dude, those operatic sections hit so hard!!
This woman is bringing a new era to this wonderful band!
Ambre vourvahis ❤😊
@@James-if3kc She is a warrior.

Is this a new vocalist
Végre! Ambre először a nagy elődök Lisa, Manuela, és I.Dianne, a gótikus, és progresszív operametál királynő nyomában! A legújabb felállásban Ambre-val a Xandria eddigi magasan a legjobb száma! Azért még mindig érződik rajta hogy Anette Olzon(Nightwish korszaka) a kedvence, és a példaképe! Pedig a lírai szoprán igazából kieresztett operahangja klasszisokkal jobb Ambre-nak, mint az átlagos popmetál hangszíne! Várom az ilyen színvonalú folytatást, Magyarországról! Merci beaucoup Ambre, et Xandria!
"The Wonders Still Waiting" was the best metal album last year. So happy to hear new music from you guys so soon!
Best singer than the others...I love her!!
The band has improved so much, Universal is an epic song🖤
OMG 😱😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Ambre & Xandria are on fire absolutely amazing I love it 🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🥁🙏🤗💥💥💥💥 those high notes 😲🤤
Wait….was the woman singing at the end the previous leader of Xandria?
@@alexgick3152 It's Ambre in the full song.
@@eternalsleeping_s what? That’s awesome
@@alexgick3152 she's current singer 1st album is wonders still awaiting
Strum some chords, get fronted by a sexy woman and that's all it takes to gain a simp army. Pathetic.
Me pegou legal, adorei esses vocais líricos da Ambre. Bom demais! Venham para o Brasil! 😉🔥
Brilliant song, a great follow up single to your The Wonders Still Awaiting album which I play frequently 🤘❤🤘🇬🇧
Holy, this is a true banger, what an amazing performance! This is what Symphonic metal is all about, the raw power emanatiing from this song is simply stunning! Ambre's voicework is once again beautiful, and those high opera-notes, especially at the end were ecstatic! It's been ages since a song literally brought tears to my eyes on first hearing it, and let me tell you, that I sorely needed to experience this feeling once again. I was sure I will like the new song, I expected as much, but oh dear what an understatement that was. This is yet another masterpiece! Xandria did not only reborn, but they became legends!
Was a blast working on this! 🖤
It's an amazing clip congratulations ❤❤🤘🤘🙏🙏
Literally it seems ❤
Epic 🎉🎉🎉
Did you also work with Elvellon or an I mistaken?? 😉
Respect guys 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Well done as usual 💜🤘🔥❣
Amazing song, amazing lyrics and performance. I'm loving this new era!!
I have grown very fond of these female fronted bands. I'm loving it! ❤🤘
clicked on this randomly, and it is surprisingly GOOD!
Got to hear this early at the Windrose concert in Florida with my family, it was my first time hearing Xandria, I immediately liked the song and the band, my parents we both pleasantly surprised that Xandria was there. That had to be the best night of 2024 for me easily.
heard them in Ohio they're badass!!
One more fantastic "Xandria Master Piece". Love it! You rock! Hope so much, to see you on stage soon again. 🤘Stay save!
Universal , sounds like an old Xandria song when they had more pop melodies (Save my life) The arrangement and vocals are great 💙 I especially like the parts with the operatic/classical singing. Especially the ending of the song sends shivers down your skin.
Save my life part 2 My curse is my redemption Got this influence in this new song ❤😊
🤘Simply epic! Xandria has reinvented themself again...🤘
i just saw you play in New Haven, Connecticut and you were phenomenal! was a treat hearing this song played live. i hope you come back to connecticut soon
✨The Voice, 💫The Performance. 🔥Ambre. ✴️Xandria. Perfection 🌒❤️🔥🌘
If there any still any doubters out there that think Ambre can't sing in an operatic style, this song should prove them wrong once and for all. Bravo Xandria for crushing it once again to follow up to Worlds. Keep bringing the monster sound, fresh vibe, and epic vocals. You guys are 🔥🔥🔥
She is meh live. Diane and Manuela MUCH MUCH better.
this isn't operatic vocals though
So when, new album is coming? Great come-back, 2024 is good for music
Excelente tema, gran banda me recuerdo cuando vinieron a Venezuela por primera vez a Sudamérica. Con Manuella pero esta vocalista, es buena Abrazos espero que regresen a Venezuela otra vez.
Ambre is so talented and beautiful.
I am soooo in love with Ambre’s operatic voice 🔥🔥 it is perfect! She should use it more often. As far as I can say, she has very versatile voice. Song is amazing!
Ambre's great. I enjoyed seeing them live again last year. If you have not explored their pre-Ambre albums, I highly recommend it, and let me know what you think.
@@bearmetalmusic7374 I loved the albums with Dianne (she has her own music project which is fantastic) and also album with Manuella is amazing.. their music has never lost their epicness...
This latest incarnation of Xandria has proved itself the best ever - almost every track's a winner. The earworm chorus and excellent quality production are the twin aces in this generally fabulous listening experience. I'd like to hear a lot more of that fine soprano rather than it being confined to segments, but nevertheless this is an absolute must for your Symphonic Metal playlist. My Score: Very Good 4*
Wonderful voice, amazing skills...LOVE IT 🤘🔥🤘
Excelente música. Parabéns
Ambre, the reborn of Xandria 🖤🔥 congratulations
I think the same thing... 🔥🔥🔥
Love this song already!!! Wonderful music, awesome vocals and very powerful lyrics. Well done Xandria, respect!!!
Is it just me or does Xandria keep getting better?!
Marco knows how to find good musicians.
Not just you. This is my FAVORITE lineup Xandria has ever had in the past 20 years since Kill the Sun and Ravenheart dropped. Ambre is a literal siren as well. She is also a total sweetheart on Instagram.
@@xxxthoughtlessxxxYet Dianne Van Giersbergen Xandria had the best voice, Ambre lacks opera in her voice.
@@zvya3da Wrong. You're just not paying attention. I've seen them live, and she is perfectly capable of doing the operatic soprano voice. She also does death growls; I don't remember Dianne ever doing that.
I was listening to ramdom music and this song appeared, first time hearing it and I loved it... Xandria is one of the best symphonic metal bands I've ever known! My universal right is to always listen to this type of music, so Epic!!! ❤❤
Literally just saw them do this song live in Tronto, absolutely incredible talent. If you ever get the chance to go live, I 100% reccomend it.
Buena rola me tope a esta banda de pura casualidad, vamos a escucharlos mas
Just saw it live in Montreal, the crowd LOVED it
Обалденно!!!🥰
i think xandria is truly ''reborn''
What a beautiful and talented singer!
I just saw them for the 2nd time on Sunday evening in NYC. They played this on their setlist. Ambre sang beautifully as she always does.
Every new song is opening Ambre's talent more and more❤. I'm glad that Ambre joined Xandria. Amazing voice❤😍🤩
Lots of layers in this song, her voice is better than i thought it would be. Congrats guys. I think you're sounding epic! 🤘
How extraordinary! Xandria is better than ever, and with Ambre, they've found lightning in a bottle!
🤔 И "бурю в стакане"... 😉 - таки да! 😅
Певица красотка, музыка огонь!
This is a perfect banger as it has a bit of everything! The chorus is pretty catchy but, in contrast, the middle section with Amber's lyrical voice and the melodic ending are otherwordly!!! I'm in!
I saw them last year and she sings live amazingly
I love that operatic breakdown
Marco knows to wrote great song 😁
Шикарно! Огонь🔥🔥🔥
such amazing vocals and lyrics. you guys killed it!! can't wait to listen more, love you xandria! ♥♥ also idk why but from the video i sensed such a nice energy between bandmates that makes me happy
Xandria, amazing music, I love it and such love the girl, fantastic voice❤❤❤
This is a great song from Xandria. Ambre is clearly more comfortable in her role as frontwoman, and Marco is getting a better grasp on utilizing her voice. Overall, A job well done and very promising for the future of Xandria. Congrats guys!
I am OBSESSED! This is TOP of the TOPS!!! Incredible vocals and music!
One word (FANTASTIC). What a bomb single UNIVERSAL, thank you so much XANDRIA for this new and beautiful song. Keep it up, you're amazing.⚜️🎼🤟
Wow, great song and divine voice from Ambre
Woowee....this is pretty good music video. The song is already great with good instrumentals & vocals! The pyrotechnics and fog smoke screen effects are solid! Well done to Xandria & the crew! 👏👏
I loved!!! Ambre voice is just a medicine!!
Great show last night in Montreal !
ThAnX a million for being a voice for us and this song for Jina Mahsa Amini. Our fecking government is terrorising us and the world. Songs like this are like a light through this dark dark tunnel for us...
Изначально я очень скептически отнёсся к новому альбому. Но потом его распробовал, и сейчас в полнейшем восторге. Амбра молодец. Не хочется сравнивать её с Дианой или Мануэллой. Это совершенно разные вокалистки.
The song is flawless, and I love that you added more operatic tones 💖
What a fantastic surprise, those operatic vocals! Are you bringing back a little of your rich past or was it just for us to have nostalgia? hahaha Beautiful song! Congratulations!
A year later and the album is still on heavy repeat in my house! And this new song will go right up there with it! This iteration of the band has quickly become my favorite. Awesome music and I hope they keep it up for a long long time!
Thank you Xandria for continuing to give us music as good as this. 🤘🖤
Okay, I was ready to ignore this or even hate on it because I didn't really like the switch behind the mic at first but damn, this is great. I think I can feel it in the band's energy, too, they know they made a huge song with this one.
Amazing song!! Clean vocals and the classical style in the middle and at the end,ahh yes,this is the Xandria i truly love 😍🤘🤘
love it! NICE song and the previous xandria song i remember was really nice too. have to check out theese guys!
What a blast - I'm already looking forward to the next album!!!
I didn't knew Xandria before their show yesterday a Québec city's Capitole. Great band to add at my playlist.
Ambre your voice is amazing and sooo incredible and Ambre you are sooo beautiful and gorgeous ❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘
Pure epicness ❣ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Well done guys 🤘 It's going to be on repeat 🎧 Obviously big thanks to Kami Zero & Witzki Visions and everyone involved Great job 💜👍🔥🙏 Respect
Xandria I love this warrior woman, she is wonderful, she killed our rock 🎸 🎸
Amber's voice is really amazing Wow🤘❤
You rarely have a symphonic metal band with such a clear political message, and it makes this absolutely gorgeous piece of music even more beautiful. Thanks for making my day.
I love Xandria. This song is awesome. Xandria is a phenomenal band.
Excellent job, Xandria!
Wow amazing. Indonesia like it
I click in a picture of pretty woman who remainds me of Jeneffer from series The Witcher. (yeah I am simple man, i guess) And I have no regrets. The whole song sounds great. I love it :)
Great sound, great video. It felt maybe a touch too commercial/predictable, but then 4:11 comes and it’s goosebump time ❤
Absolutely one of my favorite bands at the moment 🤘☺️
Great Song Wonderful Voice 😍😍😍
Yet another epic masterpiece by Xandria 🤘🏽
Next Level 👍❤🤝
Brave and beautiful 💖💙❣️💕
GOD DAYUM, that intro! 🔥🔥🔥
Great one!
Xandria now and Forever ❤❤❤
Well, another absolute banger 👍 The music and wow, the voice. Cracking stuff 🤘
The operatic part at the end hits different🤘🏻 So, one question remains... New album or EP in the making?^^
Очень рад новой песне:) Обожаю вокал Ambre:)
Ms. Ambre showing her awesome soprano voice in this one..
