Dragonknight will release the debut album “Legions” on January 17th through Scarlet Records.
Dragonknight is a new conceptual band baptized by a bunch of seasoned Finnish metal veterans, skillfully forging a smooth and fresh rendering of the classic North European power metal style through soaring melodies, thunderous rhythms, and epic orchestration, fused with crushing riffs – an unforgettable sonic journey of legendary proportions.
The eleven anthemic chapters of the first record “Legions” tell of heart-wrenching battles, strong-willed warriors and the beauty of glorious death, but also the treasure hunts gone awry, conquest, and the inner power to rise from the hopeless pit of despair yet again in the face of adversity – hear the armies and swords clash, seafaring vessels creak and the wings of the serpents soar.
Are you ready to answer the Dragonknight call, join their mighty Legion and, if such fate should fall upon you, DIE FOR METAL?!
