The singer is Dianne van Giersbergen, a fully trained classical singer. As one of the few of those Dutch amazing vocalistst Dianne can call herself a real opera singer also. She founded a band called Exlibris years back. She fronted German band Xandria from 2014 till 2017 and sang on the 2 last albums. She was already their third singer, so Xandria does have a problem holding their singers. Dianne picked up her Exlibris band again and released a trilogy about three historical figures...all called Ann...chapter 1: Anne Boleyn , chapter 2 : Anastasia Romanova and chapter 3: Anne Frank..highly recommend to listen to this Ann album, she uses her voice in a different manner including some real opera stuff..glad you found this lady, she is an amazing singer in the dutch list: Floor, Simone, Anneke, Sharon, Charlotte an Dianne in random order....
Not family of Anneke for those who want to know that :)
Dianne sounds absolutely AMAZING live! I saw them in Seattle performing in a rather small nightclub to a "crowd" of about 50 people (whoever promoted their NA tour did a poor job - barely anyone showed up), but they played extremely well and sounded terrific. Totally worth the 4-hour drive from Canada! We also had the chance to meet the band before the show, and they were very nice to the fans. Dianne is insanely charming in person.
Dianne didn't develop her full potential on Xandria, try her new band Ex Libris
Actually, Dianne was one of the founding members of Ex Libris already in 2004. She joined Xandria in 2013 & left in 2017. So Ex Libris is Dianne's old band, not her new one.
Dianne is probably one the best IF NOT the best operistic singers in metal nowadays. She's actually a professional opera singer and the only one i can think who can rival her quality in the genre is Laura Macri from MaYan (Epica's Mark Jansen side project)
Marcela Bovio is Mayan's singer.
She was a later addition, Laura is the main female singer since the first album
I have been following them since like 2010 and they have so much good shit just like Nightwish
I saw her at a small club in Texas and she sounded amazing live!!!
People have already commented on it, but Xandria has gone through a few vocalists. I discovered the band in my journey through Symphonic metal when I was a teenager, so when it was Lisa Middelhauve on vocals.
I love her mezzo voice and the softness of her tone. Stand-outs from her era, to me (so veeeery personal opinion, lol): Snow White, India, Vampire, Salomé and Sisters of the Light (let's not forget Like a Rose on the Grave of Love, so pretty
I know this song and few others from them but not many. Looking forward to see more. I just haven’t had energy to go through their songs by my self but you will probably get good suggestions and I can go look those even if you will not. 🙂
+ 😆 Yay. Olly behaving ”bad”. The day is saved now. 😂 I’m not saying you should but I’m getting some peer support from that. 😂 🤭
Still miss the original singer, Lisa Middelhauve. She had a very unique voice that made this band something special. She even did her own grunts on her last album. Since she's gone they had even more new/other singers than Nightwish, they never really recovered from that. Back in the days i liked that they didn't have an operatic singer and still made really good Symphonic Metal. After Lisa they just became the 98th Nightwish Clone...
I agree with what you're saying about the band trying to emulate Nightwish later on and Lisa having a unique voice. I really loved her era :o So many good songs. Sure, the songs weren't as polished and all that, but there was something about that era that was compelling. I watched the live (I don't remember where) they did in 2007 like a thousand times and watching Lisa growl live was an experience (it was also the first time I saw a female singer that did mainly clean vocals growling, and it stuck with me lol)
@@nimedhel09 Well, you are lucky. I couldn't see them live in 2007 at the Summerbreeze Festival as planned because i got a new job at exactly the same time.... Together with Sentenced the only band i regret not seeing live, at least not in that Formation. But i still habe that Job, so it was the better choice in the end :-)
Actually, Dianne reminds me more of Tarja. She's still amazing.
She has a wonderful vocals. I love it
Please react to the mythical band Tristania gothic metal with the theme Equilibrium greetings from Costa Rica by the way do you have reactions from the creators of the symphonic metal Therion?
Yes, exactly. I`ve been waiting Tristatnia and Therion for a long time.
Oh yes, Tristania! Vibeke Stene's voice is probably the most ice-shivering voice I have ever heard. The day she announced she was leaving Tristania is still one of the sadest days in my life :S
You should check out Dianne's band Ex Libris, especially the song "The Raid" from the third Chapter about Anne Frank. The song was so beautiful I cried, and I was super happy to contribute to the album campaign. Cheers :)
Yessss this
I personally heard a combination of Floor from Nightwish and Charlotte from Delain.
I was gutted that she had to leave the band. Their last album with her, “Theatre of Dimensions” is a once in a lifetime amazing tour de force. While she does have Ex Libris, Xandria is way more my style. So, “Call of Destiny” was a video single from that album, but the opening track, “Where the Heart is Home”, is, in my opinion, one of the best songs ever made.
Another awesome song from them is "Call Of Destiny" you should try it 😎
yes....I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT
Naughty, naughty, Olly! But I have to agree with you lol
I saw Dianne live only twice, unfortunately. And that was with Ex Libris, not Xandria. Xandria is changing its singers like dirty socks. It just does not work to have somebody who sings classically or normally, but difficult parts, and want them to perform every second day (or every day). It is not an instrument that you can just change when it breaks. And to push a great vocalist like Dianne past her breaking point is really stupid. It is not somebody who can be easily replaced. You have been already given more than enough information about her by others. She is one of the few who really studied classical singing at a conservatory. Other two would be Tarja and Laura Macri from MaYaN - Mark Jansen´s side project.
I saw you reacted to The Arms of the Ocean by Blackbriar a couple of days ago. Here is probably the best quality live recording of this particular song from a concert - th-cam.com/video/o7VNpG0SPkA/w-d-xo.html there are some other recordings of their songs with better quality, but not this one
Did anybody suggest Ignea or Amaranthe?
I have discoverd this song some night. Then listened to it 20-30 times in a row - with a lot of beer :) Unfortunately I don`t find other Xandria`s songs such hearable...
BTW: singer is Dianne van Giersbergen. Another Dutch one :) They must have something in water, hehe
It's in the water or the beer.
Probably H-beer :) BTW: check another symphonic band - Akoma . My fresh one. Album "Revangels" is really awsome. Especially song "Bittersweet Memories".
By the way, she isn't related to Anneke.
I haven’t heard of her before (and I’m Dutch) but she sounds really good
The band has gone through a few different singers and members over the years
Love this song heard it years ago never knew the name or who sang it heard it again a couple months back. This time I made sure to get the artist and title on the playlist now.
You should so a reaction to the band Seven Spires the singer has an amazing range clean highs all the way to deep growls I'm sure you will like them as well good song to start is Cabaret Of Dreams or something like Paradox or Succumb all three song are different in style
Cabernet of dreams

Paradox
th-cam.com/video/2Ny3ZpZMOXY/w-d-xo.html
Succumb
th-cam.com/video/l10HOohy1Eo/w-d-xo.html
She sound live just like on a record, I've been on Xandria in Moscow
A better question would be does Anneke van Giersbergen have a sister? (Dianne van Giersbergen) she might but they are not related. :-) In this case van Giersbergen is not very common name but they are both Dutch.
Wikipedia reports that they are not related.
Germany also got amazing Female fronted Symphonic Metal,not only the Netherlands ;)
Xandria rules!!!
Please react others song's from the band like Ravenheart, Save My Life, Forevermore..greetings from Argentina..
I miss Dianne🤘, What a voice
Love me some Dianne!
Continuing with Xandria might be a good idea for your "feature artist" concept. Just saying… ;-)
it will be long clip, Dianne van Giersbergen, Lisa Middelhauve (Ravenheart), Manuela Kraller (Valentine).. and the newest singer also left already ?
The vocalist is Dianne van Giersbergen. I would say she is more a mixture of Tarja and Floor. She displays a lot of operatic style to her vocals. From what I've seen, she is very good live too. I think Xandria made a big mistake by cutting her, but I guess that wouldn't be the first time a band cut a great vocalist. Perhaps you could try "Blood On My Hands" - live --> th-cam.com/video/Zc94Ssm5vas/w-d-xo.html or "Stardust" - live -->.th-cam.com/video/nJVCN-YA2zY/w-d-xo.html. I don't believe either of these are professionally done, but they give a good example of her abilities.
They didn't cut her she quit, as did the other vocalists before her. In fact they have been without a vocalist the last 3 years and not sure if they'll find a new vocalist with all the negativity around the circumstances surrounding the departure of their previous vocalists.
@@pmasher They have a new vocalist and have had one for quite some time. Her name is Aeva Maurelle, infact I saw them live in Masters of Rock last summer. She is known from her other band Aeverium.
@@FemaleMetalLover Aeva is a temporary singer that they paid to sing during their tour. She is not part of the band.
@@pmasher From what I understood as I met them last summer and have details that are unofficial, she IS the official singer and they are looking to continue after they solve some issues internally within the band. But I could be wrong and the situation has changed after 6 months.
Great group and song! Unfortunately the boys can’t keep a female lead singer. They’ve had two or three female lead singers.
She’s that good live but not with the group anymore. Try Ex Libris, her new group.
Ok that will be very cool to listen to.
Oh boy, where did I see that happening too? :>
I think you should do the "Feature Artist" segment on this channel too...just with metal rather than rock/strangeness haha! Xandria seems to have problems keeping vocalists (6 of them!!)...not sure what the problem is, but their music is pretty decent from what I've heard from them. The singer on this album is the incredible Diane Van Giersbergen (no relation to Anneke)...another Dutch goddess! She is the 5th singer but now sings for Ex Libris (symphonic/gothic metal from The Netherlands). Here's a song from The Gentle Storm with both Dianne Van Giersbergen AND Anneke Van Giersbergen th-cam.com/video/ysau-B3HZac/w-d-xo.html Your welcome! Cheers! Edit: Here's a live Ex Libris song: th-cam.com/video/udF4PWZuq2c/w-d-xo.html
cool thank you
Problem is the same as with Nightwish and Sirenia, its a man's world and they are treating the women like shit, not taking into consideration their needs and wants, always pressuring to tour endlessly to the point of exacerbating the sanity of their singers. I know this for a fact, have had this discussion with many women in metal, including a friend who is the singer of a quite known medium-sized band. The woman is always overruled by the majority of men in the band, some people argue that it is a fair system, but I think its counterproductive especially when you centre yourself as a band fronted by a woman, its only logical that you work to maintain their health and energy. This is why many singers like Aylin, Liv, Dianne, Manuella and Tarja either left or were fired.
@@ollytherock7324 hi olly. its pronounced ZANDRIA
@@FemaleMetalLover Thanks for the info!
I did the math ,and I have to point out that you probably meant "Did floor have a second sister?" :p just saying :)
LOL finally someone that is following the point. Sweet. I was wondering how long it would take. Awesome.
This singer was dubbed the "heir of Tarja" Sadly the band is apparently full of assholes because they have a lot of financial difficulties which lead to them treating their singers very badly. I wanted Nightwish get her so bad.
sad to hear
When Xandria booted Dianne because of her Bi Polar & that they did it on social media & not to her face, I'm done with Xandria. If you read the Wikipedia, the band has issues with how many musicians have left the band.
If you think this was good, you really should listen to Dianne van Giersbergen with her progressive metal band "Ex Libris" as I've suggested weeks ago. While studying for her master degree, Dianne perfected her techniques to have classical music intermingle with metal music. Her master’s thesis deals with the vocal techniques and the compositional demands required to blend these styles and with the merging of protocol and free performance in this crossover style. Floor Jansen was one of those people that inspected Dianne's thesis & approved it.
P.S. To at least partially answer your question whether Dianne sounds good live, this is a quote from Wikipedia: "Giersbergen's vocals and delivery can pull in the audience, according to a review in Mindbreed. Reviewer Eric May in 2013 in New Noise magazine described her as a "sultry siren" and wrote that there was "something majestically powerful in her mesmerizing vocal harmonies." Another reviewer described her vocals as "breathtaking" with great personality, charisma and charm."
Sweet cant wait to check it out
@@ollytherock7324 Cool. I placed two suggestions as a comment to that special video as it seems you've already deleted my previous comments.
Well done, Professor Jansen! 👍
Dianne is great! Check Ex Libris! They did an outstanding work with their progressive trilogy!
@@Sarbu_Marius Of which ANN - Chapter 2: Anastasia Romanova (The Motherland, The Healer, The Exile) is most likely the best chapter.
