ANDRA
Andra
The german metal band Andra was formed in 2002 when Andrea Münster left Seven Sins. The former singer of bands like Helicon and Beautiful Darkness, made a big impression with her unique voice, when Andra released their debut album "Circle of Fire".
The album was recorded at the "Misschen Impossible" studio and is definitive Andra at her very best. Featuring the music of VII Sins and co-produced by Uli Kusch (Ex-Helloween/Masterplan), the album contains 9 original compositions and a version of Gloria Gaynor's 70..s classic, "I will Survive". Metalled up, of course. "The Circle Of Fire" is the natural successor to "Mindless You Sleep" and "Victim Of Sin", in that the atmosphere from those two previous offerings remains but this time around, the musical imagery has been improved upon. The whole album is based around the concept of "The Circle Of Fire". After a promotion Tour for the Circle Of Fire (also with Doro & Tankard), they took a break to work on new songs.
In 2003 guitarist Florian Haack hit the stage with Andra for the first time, and the band played concerts in many countries across europe. Unfortunately, the band had to take a break in 2005, when Florian Haack had to finish his studies. At that time they played more gigs with guitarists Sascha Horbach and Karsten Reiss, bass player Michael Wunsch and drummer Guido Gaubiers.
In late 2007 the former guitarist Florian Haack reunited with the band and they recorded the songs which were composed by the last line-up. After that they started to develop a new style that would fit for Andrea's unique voice. The band recently finished a new demo, and is currently working on a new album.
Now Andra are ready to rock again, and they will present a blend of new and classic material.
