Melodic power metal act Dragonland has a new single and lyric video out in ‘Flight From Destruction‘.
The song is said to showcase the range of “wonderfully haunting, fast-paced melodic metal the band is known and loved for” and is available on all digital platforms here.
It is taken from the band’s forthcoming album, The Power Of The Nightstar, that will be available through AFM Records on 14th October.
Recorded, mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios, it sees the band continue as the line-up consisting of keyboardist Elias Holmlid, bassist Anders Hammer, vocalist Jonas Heidgert and guitarists Olof Mörck and Jesse Lindskog, complemented by drummer Johan Nunez (Firewind, ex-Nightrage), who joined in 2014.
Back in June, they released the title track as a single, the band stating: “We’re thrilled to finally unveil a small part of our forthcoming album,” adding. “This explosive track is a centrepiece of the story line and presents a turning point for our protagonists whose new found hope is expressed in the uplifting chorus.”he Power Of The Nightstar’. It’s still availble on all digital platforms here and you can check out the video here at RAMzine.
The full tracklist for the album is: ‘The Awakening’, ‘A Light In The Dark’, ‘Flight from Destruction’,’Through Galaxies Endless’, ‘The Scattering of Darkness’, ‘A Threat from Beyond the Shadows’, ‘Aphelion’, ‘Celestial Squadron’, ‘Resurrecting An Ancient Technology’, ‘The Power of the Nightstar’, ‘Final Hour ‘, ‘Journey’s End‘ and ‘Oblivion‘.
More than ten years without a new studio album could be reason enough for a band to fall into oblivion, in the case of Sweden’s Dragonland, that’s not the case for their fans.
Since the release of their debut The Battle Of The Ivory Plains (2001), new material continued to grow from year to year up to their 2011 release Under The Grey Banner. Now, Dragonland returns to the heavy music scene, with their brand-new single.
