What started in the summer of 2007 as a studio project conceived by a handful of enthusiastic Power Metal fans from Vienna, Austria as “The Dragonslayer Project”, and Dragony has long since become an established name in the international metal circus – and is set to release its fifth studio album “Hic Svnt Dracones” on October 11th, 2024!
Following their first headlining tour across Mexico in October 2023 and another tour as a support act for Warkings, the next chapter in the band’s history with a new lineup, bolstered by new members Matt on guitars and Chris on drums, will be written in 2024 together with the renowned metal label SPV / Steamhammer.
With the band’s new studio album “Hic Svnt Dracones” once again the band took no prisoners and produced an excellent album mixed and mastered by genre great Jacob Hansen (i.a. Amaranthe, Epica) featuring 11 strong and catchy melodic metal tracks, which will excite both fans of modern Power Metal and traditionalists alike.
Once again Dragony invite the listener on an epic journey into long-forgotten times and realms, as the concept story behind “Hic Svnt Dracones” tells a new, fantastical interpretation of the events surrounding the “Lost Colony” of Roanoke in the “New World” as well as the fate of the British colonists who disappeared there, all neatly tied into a bombastic Power Metal package!
The first single “Beyond the Rainbow Bridge” is out today and you can watch the video
“Hic Svnt Dracones” will be released on October 11th, 2024, worldwide through SPV/Steamhammer as CD digipak, 2LP gatefold version, download and stream here.
