Fire & Ashes is an EP album by the German symphonic metal band Xandria.[1][2] This is the band's second release with vocalist Dianne van Giersbergen. The EP features three new tracks, two rerecorded and remastered tracks, and two cover songs.[3] The EP is produced by Joost van den Broek and contains cover art by Felipe Machado Franco and guest vocals by Valerio Recenti, the Italian singer of the Dutch alternative metal band My Propane. The composition "In Remembrance" is a tribute to classical Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi as it is based on the aria "Morrò, ma prima in grazia" from his opera Un Ballo in Maschera.

This is the only EP Dianne van Giersbergen made with Xandria.
