Black vinyl in standard cover.

Background information about 'X'

Swedish melodic metal legends Narnia return with their tenth studio album "X", marking three decades of unwavering dedication to the genre and celebrating their 30th anniversary in spectacular fashion. While their previous effort "Ghost Town" (2023) reaffirmed their melodic metal foundations, "X" boldly expands their sonic horizons without sacrificing the distinctive identity that has made them pioneers in the field. This is Narnia at their most confident and diverse, seamlessly weaving together arena-ready anthems with adventurous progressive passages that showcase their artistic maturity.

The album's dynamic range is breathtaking – tracks like "Oceanwide", "Every Breath", and "Heaven's Calling" demonstrate the band's mastery of infectious hooks and soaring melodies that stick with you long after the final note fades. On the flip side, the high-energy crusher "Remedy (SOS)" pushes the tempo into exhilarating territory, while compositions like "God Under Fire" and "Jerusalem" explore more complex arrangements and progressive textures. Multiple lead vocalists share the spotlight throughout, with CJ Grimmark and Jonatan "Jono" Samuelsson stepping forward on select tracks, adding fresh vocal colors while Christian Liljegren's unmistakable voice continues to define the band's signature sound. Produced, mixed by CJ Grimmark, and mastered by Thomas "Plec" Johansson at Studio Bohus, "X" stands as both a tribute to Narnia's legacy and a bold statement of where they stand today.
