DRAGONY announce MASTERS OF THE MULTIVERSE
We are thrilled to announce that DRAGONY return with their third full-length album in the fall of 2018 after the great success of their sophomore outing “Shadowplay” and the Anniversary EP “Lords Of The Hunt”!
The new album entitled MASTERS OF THE MULTIVERSE will feature 10 brand new Epic Glory Metal tracks, as well as a bonus track on the physical CD release, inspired by the universes of many different beloved pop culture phenomena, ranging from fantasy literature over computer and video games to Anime, movies and TV.
The band states: „This album is a tribute to the heroes of our childhood and teenage days who inspired and entertained us throughout the years, and we can’t wait to share these new songs with you. We would particularly like to thank the contributors to our crowdfunding campaign last year – it is in no small part thanks to you that this album is possible.“
Guest appearances on the album include Tommy Johansson from Sabaton and ReinXeed, Ross Thompson from Van Canto, Nora Bendzko from Nightmarcher and Avem as well as Lukas Knoebl from Illuminata, who has once again provided some amazing orchestration after completing his studies in film scoring at the University of Southern California in L.A.!
The fantastic artwork was created by the amazing Dušan Markovic from Serbia, who was also responsible for the artwork to “Lords Of The Hunt”.

DRAGONY video for „Lords Of The Hunt“ available
Dragony took part in a project of a group of aspiring students for the video of the titletrack to their last release „Lords Of The Hunt“. The extended EP (as in extra glorious), especially released for the bands 10th anniversary, is featuring two new tracks, as well as new renditions of fan favorites and songs, previously only available as bonus tracks.
DRAGONY – Lords Of The Hunt
In 2017, after two successful albums, the band is celebrating its 10th anniversary as well as the fifth birthday of their debut work „Legends“. These two events are the motor for Dragony to present their fans with a new MCD – a work which is well worth listening to. On the MCD, entitled „Lords Of The Hunt“ there are the great, the rare and some lost and found titles. Apart from two brand new songs, „Lords Of The Hunt“ and „Call Of The Wild“ you can find newly recorded versions of the debut work’s most popular songs, songs which were previously available only as bonus tracks, as well as demo rarities and it also includes the band’s two video clips of „Burning Skies“ and the David Hasselhoff cover version of „True Survivor“.

- Excellent reputation as live band, having toured with e.g. Gamma Ray, support shows with Powerwolf, Primal Fear, Axxis, Blind Guardian, Edenbridge, Paul Di’Anno, Sonata Arctica; festival appearances with e.g. Twisted Sister (Nova Rock).

DRAGONY – Shadowplay
„Shadowplay“ shows a band that refuses to bow down to any kind of conventions, that has its musical goals firmly in focus, and that impresses the listener through their imaginative and technically pure work. They are versatile in playing with the popular clichees of the genre and still come across innovative. Overall „Shadowplay“ sounds homogeneous and refreshingly heavy – so there is plenty of reason to promote this album on tour. Therefore, the band will be on the billing of Gamma Ray’s Anniversary Tour! Feat. Zak Stevens (Savatage, Trans Siberian Orchestra, Circle II Circle) on guestvocals.
