Dragony - 'Beyond The Rainbow Bridge' (music video)

At the edge of twilight
In the war of gods and men
We have reached the end of all our ages
See the Midgard serpent rise
To a battle in the skies
That splits land and seas now as it rages

Into the night
In the slipstream
We hold on tight
To our dream

We fly beyond the rainbow bridge
Bifrost gleaming across the ridge
Into the unknown of a brave new world

We cross the gates of space and time
Beyond the heavens we will climb
And forge a new dawn after all we’ve learned
No stone unturned

With our hearts on fire
Escape the dungeons of the night
We are dreamers of a new tomorrow
Behold the God of Thunder
Rending the world asunder
To liberate mankind from all its sorrow

Into the light
Our eyes upstream
We won’t let go
Of our dream

We fly beyond the rainbow bridge
Bifrost gleaming across the ridge
Into the unknown of a brave new world

We cross the gates of space and time
Beyond the heavens we will climb
And forge a new dawn after all we’ve learned
No stone unturned

To the eye of the storm we are riding
In the heart of the tempest torn
With a lost world at last subsiding
God of Thunder, tear asunder

With the dawn of a new day breaking
With our hopes and our dreams forlorn
On these grounds now with lightning shaking
Realm of legends, going under

When the Thunderer calls for his vengeance
In the Midgard serpent’s scorn
Then the time has now come for repentence
Thunder! Lightning! Rocking this Ragnarok!

We fly beyond the rainbow bridge
Bifrost gleaming across the ridge
Into the unknown of a brave new world

We cross the gates of space and time
Beyond the heavens we will climb
And forge a new dawn after all we’ve learned

When love and thunder reign supreme
As we are chasing a new dream
Beyond the rainbow-colored beam we go

Far from the turmoil of this strife
We run to start a brand new life
And we will go wherever the winds will blow
And the rivers flow

Full length album νούμερο πέντε για τους Dragony, οι οποίο επιστρέφουν δισκογραφικά μετά από μία τριετία. "Hic Svnt Dracones" ο τίτλος και αναμένεται στην "καρδιά" του φθινοπώρου. Νέα μέλη της μπάντας (σε σχέση με τον τελευταίο τους δίσκο "Viribus Unitis" που κυκλοφόρησε το 2021) είναι ο κιθαρίστας Mat Plekhanov, ο οποίος εντάχθηκε το 2022 και ο drummer Chris Auckenthaler (ξεκίνησε πέρυσι παίζοντας τύμπανα στις συναυλίες του συγκροτήματος και από φέτος αποτελεί και επίσημα μέλος).

Οι Dragony μας έρχονται από την πρωτεύουσα της Αυστρίας (Βιέννη). Δημιουργήθηκαν πριν από 17 έτη (τα τρία πρώτα χρόνια ως The Dragonslayer Project) και αποκαλούν την μουσική τους πρόταση "Glory Metal". Όσον αφορά το νέο τους δισκογραφικό πόνημα μας λένε σχετικά:

«Mighty Dragoons, we are thrilled to announce that our new, fifth studio album title "Hic Svnt Dracones", will be out on October 11th, 2024 via SPV Steamhammer!

We've been working tirelessly on this new album over the past couple of months, and we believe that all the hard work has finally paid off!

We think this is our best album yet, and should appeal to both fans of modern as well as traditional symphonic European Power Metal!

The album was produced and co-written with our longtime collaborator and producer (and seventh band member) Frank Pitters at Silverline Music in Austria, with the mix and master done by the incomparable Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios, Denmark.

The artwork for the album and the singles was done by Stan W Decker and our videos this time were produced by Witzki Visions, Tamas Künsztler Productions, and Ingo Spörl.

We are once again inviting you to join us on an epic and mythical journey to lands where reality and fantasy blend into one; however this time, the journey takes us to the New World in the late 16th century, when Sir Walter Raleigh receives a charter from Queen Elizabeth I to found the first settlement in North America at Roanoke.

However, the colonists mysteriously disappear... and the story of "Hic Svnt Dracones" tells you exactly what happened!»
