And The Distance grows, and grows…

Well, by now, it’s no longer news and you’re all aware of it, but the time has come to talk about Claudia’s departure. I would have liked to bring this up sooner, but honestly, it has been a hard emotional blow for me and I needed time to come to terms with it.
After a few months of troubled waters, the water is flowing crystal clear again… because life is… is like a river, is like a river that sometimes has forks… and takes each of us down our own path.
So long, Claudia
On December 26, Claudia issued a statement officially announcing her departure from X-Perience. It was the statement we expected, not the one we wanted to read, but at least it put an end to months of uncertainty, ever since the concert in Berlin where it became clear that the band was not comfortable together.
Dear fans, followers, friends,
After five wonderful years of great music and many experiences, it is time for me to close the chapter on X-Perience.
We have created timeless and beautiful music that will accompany us positively and lovingly for the rest of our lives.
Songs that will always remain!
“Say Thank You,” “Conquest of Paradise,” “Come Come,” “Never Look Back,” “I’ll Remember,” and also the cover versions
of “To France” and “When Do I Get To Sing My Way,” and really all the other songs that are very dear to my heart.
I would like to thank you all, and especially the tireless and hard-working Bernd Wendlandt / producer – songwriter (15 singles, 2 albums + extended versions and various remixes), Daniel La Peur, Naxwell, and the two X-P guys.
However, my voice will no longer be included in any new form.
Angelzoom will continue to grow and release new material in 2026.
There will be a third album and a single to accompany it. March and April are planned.
The single is currently scheduled for release in March and the album in April, and planning is underway.
Here on getnext in particular, there will be more great insights, specials, videos and news for Zoomer and Follower fans.
Feel free to follow us on Bandcamp and subscribe to the newsletter.
I wish you a wonderful New Year’s Eve and a great start to the New Year.
Best regards, Claudia

Fan Reaction
The last few months have been tough for all X-perience fans, months of uncertainty and intense emotions that each fan experienced in their own way, at their own pace, at their own level of intensity…
I am happy to have had the company of so many fans, with whom I have shared my emotions just as they have shared theirs. I am proud to see how the social networks and communication channels of this fan club have become a safe and private space where we can communicate and share our thoughts and emotions without being judged, where we are listened to and every way of experiencing it is validated, sharing a grief in which each fan has followed their own path, but united, at least we have been able to walk the path together.
The Future
I know that some of you may be waiting for me to tell you more about the reasons that led to this situation… but as I said at the beginning, this has been difficult for me to deal with, so I can’t imagine what it must have been like for the band! Now we are where we are, so… Never look back!
…let’s look ahead… to what is now the present for both X-Perience and Angelzoom.
I think what has helped me most to improve my mood after this breakup is seeing how much work Claudia and Bernd are doing with Angelzoom, as well as Alex and Matthias with X-Perience.
Matthias and Alex are working on new music, thinking about a new album, they already have more live performance dates, and their guest lineup is sounding more and more interesting! We can’t wait to see it!

Claudia and Bernd have also got back into the work and are about to release Angelzoom’s third album, and since September they’ve been releasing singles. There’s news that they’re trying to put together a live show for 2027!
Angelzoom’s new album on April 24
You can follow all this work on their websites x-perience.de and angelzoom.de, but if you really want to get closer to your favorite artists and find out how things are done, I recommend that you join the getnext accounts of X-PERIENCE and ANGELZOOM.
From here, my best wishes to all four of you, Matthias, Alex, Claudia, and Bernd, for the success of your musical projects. I truly hope you find success and satisfaction, and who knows, maybe in the future, you can bridge the distance, chat, and share your experiences of what worked well for you, so you can join forces again and build upon your success.
The Fanclub
As for this fan club… it will remain active, of course! We will continue to support the band, we will continue to be your meeting point, we will continue to compile all past, present, and future information, and we will continue to try to find the best way to make the most of the time we devote to our passion for our favorite artists.
This year, we will continue to improve this website and add and update all kinds of information for you to enjoy.
There are still some things that I find complicated, so it may take me a while to do things like remove Claudia’s presence from sections such as The Band, so please bear with me 🙏🥰
The power of three!!! Accepting that there are only two in X-Perience is going to take me longer than accepting that there were four in Charmed 🤣
What I am clear about is that love is what motivates me to work on this fan club, to devote time to the content and to a space like this website. And the only thing that comes naturally to me is to support each and every person related to X-Perience, and even though they are no longer part of X-Perience’s present, I believe that Claudia and Bernd’s influence justifies their music, videos, photos, etc. continuing to be part of this website.
What I also want to announce right now is that I don’t know what decision the guys will make this time about adding a new singer to X-Perience, but whoever joins, this fan club will give that person our love and support. We will welcome her with the affection, kindness, and respect that any person deserves, and we will appreciate the time she dedicates to our favorite band!
Your comments?
You can participate as usual in this space by adding your comments, your thoughts, your emotions. Just remember, as Peter Capaldi said… “Hate is always foolish, Love is always wise.”
So show the love that X-Perience with Claudia, Matthias, and Alex have taught us all these years.
