Legendary Italian metal titans DRAKKAR have revealed the tracklist and cover art of the upcoming full-length album, entitled “Spread Your Wings”, which is set to be released worldwide starting September 27th via Punishment 18 Records. The artwork was created by Alessandro Bragalini (Ephyra, Eregion).
Italian Power Metal veterans DRAKKAR have announced that their new release, “When Lightning Strikes Twice”, will be out on May 25th, 2022, again under the banners of Punishment 18 Records, that also published their latest effort “Chaos Lord” in 2021. The announcement is tied to the release of the lyrics video for the first single, “We Ride”.
“When Lightning Strikes Twice” is a full remix and remaster of Drakkar’s 2012 comeback album, “When Lightning Strikes”. Back in the day, it was the album that put Drakkar on the map again after a long hiatus; met with great reviews and beloved by old and new fans alike, the ambitious sci-fi concept record was the fuel that the band needed to get back as a prominent force in Italian Power Metal. This new version has been completely remixed and remastered from the original recording sessions; 90% of it is the original performances, only a few rhythm guitar tracks have been re-recorded because the hard disks storing them were damaged. However, the impressive work done by Mattia Stancioiu at Elnor Studio has given it a completely new life! Now-classic Drakkar songs like “We Ride”, “When Lightning Strikes” and “Revenge Is Done” sound better then ever, with increased power, clarity and feeling.
Lose yourself in the fascinating sci-fi story that will take you through time and space, mainly ispired by the works of comic book legends like Jack Kirby and Alan Moore, narrated through epic and bombastic power metal songs that apply the lesson of giants like Blind Guardian and Running Wild to create a deeply personal musical voyage.
Italian Legendary Power Metallers DRAKKAR have released the first official video for the title track of the band’s new full length album “Chaos Lord“, set to be released this Spring by Punishment 18 Records.
