Vienna might not be your first stop shop for quality power metal, but rising Austrian metallers Dragony have seen their stock rise considerably of late. Starting out with ‘Legends’ and ‘Shadowplay’ on Limb Music in the early 2010s, the swashbuckling melodic horde are now about to release album number five, the thundering ‘Hic Svnt Dracones’, and we have the brand new single here for you to sample in the shape of ‘Dragon Of The Sea’.
Singer Sigi Samer says, “The song focuses on legendary British privateer Sir Francis Drake, as it was the future bane of the Spanish Armada who rescued the first colonists from Roanoke. The song is a classic heavy metal anthem with a driving guitar riff and epic chorus that captures the adventurous spirit of the times its lyrics talk about.”
Dragony will perform at this year’s Power Metal Quest Fest in Birmingham on October 12th, one of the best up and coming new festivals in the UK. Make sure you catch them. ‘Hic Svnt Dracones’ will be released on October 11th via SPV/Steamhammer.
