Melodic metal outfit XDB has just launched into an exciting new creative phase with their latest single, “Love of My Life,” a track that showcases the band at their most expressive. The song, available now on all streaming platforms, blends soaring melodies, heartfelt emotion, and the band’s signature musicianship, while the accompanying striking lyric video on YouTube pairs vivid imagery with the song’s intimate themes. Fronted by vocalist Rob Kane and powered by the virtuosic guitar work of Xander Demos—who loosely channeled Dream Theater’s John Petrucci for the guitar solo—the track was specifically conceived to be “upbeat and positive,” going against the grain of sadder songs that often dominate emotional writing. This push for a positive, inspiring metal anthem highlights the band’s dynamic energy, which Demos believes is boundless, noting their three lead singers (including himself and bassist Emily Stroup) allow them to write vocal-style AOR with a touch of progressive rock/metal.
