Dragonknight has released a static video for “Waltz Of The Dead Kings”, originally released as Japan-only bonus track of the acclaimed 2025 debut album “Legions”.
The video and its cover art are inspired by the wooden Dragonknight sign by Petja Hänninen:

A millenium has passed, since the Kings were taken to their early grave. Yet, their call is time and time again echoed in taverns, guesthouses and regal chambers by minstrels and bards. This particular revision of the anthem to the Dead Kings has now found its way to the inns of the Old and New Continents after being sung for centuries by unbowing and fearless warriors hailing from the Land of a Thousand Suns Rising – so finish your hearty meal, grab your ale, wine or other more potent spirits, and join the bard as he recounts the tale of the Kings and partakes in their hallowed chant from beyond the veil!
Dragonknight is currently working on the second studio album to be released by Scarlet Records.
“Legions”:
- debut album for the brand new Finnish cinematic power metal band;
- each track unfolding a grand narrative of Dragonlords, heroic battles, and mythical realms, immersing the listeners in tales of valor and adventure;
- produced by Dragonknight; mixed by Mikael Grönroos at Crownhook Studio; mastered by Svante Forsbäck at Chartmakers West;
- cover artwork by Tommi Aaltonen;
- FFO: Blind Guardian, Helloween, Sabaton, Gloryhammer, Twilight Force;
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?!
