Dragonknight have released a lyric-video for “The Imperator”, first single taken from the debut album “Legions” to be released on January 17th by Scarlet Records. PRE-SAVE/PRE-ORDER

“The Imperator” is a depiction of brothers and sisters waiting for their commander to once again rally the unbending, undefeated and unstoppable Legion to strike down the enemy with the force of a thousand storms. The horns blaring for the supreme champion, the whispering strings and woodwinds carrying the tales told in the warmth of the campfires… All this condensed into a hard-hitting heavy metal song with a powerful groove and an ear-worm of a chorus makes it a solid introduction to the music of Dragonknight.

• debut album for the brand new Finnish cinematic power metal band;

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?!

Dragonknight has signed a multi-album deal with Scarlet Records.

Salutations!

Hailing from the bitter-cold north, Dragonknight, a group composed of five mythical Dragonlords, battle-hardened in various now disbanded groups, together with a host of sworn followers, the Legion, as they so aptly call themselves, have united in their efforts to tell the tales of the Dragonlords’ encounters and endeavours on their path to reclaim their seat of power residing in Atlantis, the ancient home, from which they were cast out aeons ago.

Smelted from countless bars of metal in the black flames of the underworld, an album of utmost power was forged, combining soaring melodies, an adamantium wall of sound, and mythical tales written by the Dragonlords and now retold, time and time again, by the Legion.

A covenant with Scarlet Records, signed with the blood of the Serpent-mother now, has paved the way for a heroic companionship required for the dissemination of the album crafted with purest strength and will.

The release of this encapsulation of steel and fire shall see the grey light of day on a date to be later proclaimed.

This is now a call to all able bodied enthusiasts of heroic metal to join the Legion, witness the triumph of Dragonknight and weave themselves as legends into the glorious tapestry of time itself!

Die for metal!

(a common scribe to the Legion)

The Dragonknight debut album will be released in early 2025.
