Dragony - 'Dragon Of The Sea (Sic Parvis Magna)'

The British:
We were strangers in a strange land
So foreign, wild and free
Looking for a life that was not meant to be

Stranded on this island
Can’t go forward, can’t go back
Time is running short and shorter
Soon the natives will attack

With our hopes all gone and shattered
We had nothing left to lose

Fly, Golden Hind
Bring us the bane of the Armada
Rise, to the fight
He is the Dragon of the Sea

Our colony is fallen
There are no rations left
Time is ticking as we’re waiting for the end
Stores are all depleted
Our powers all but spent
And now soon we’ll be defeated
We’ve got nothing to defend

Sails appear on the horizon
Our redemption on the way

Fly, Golden Hind
Bring us the bane of the Armada
Rise, to the fight
He is the Dragon of the Sea

Sail, save our souls
Bring us the hope for our future
Brave storm and shoals
Oh mighty Dragon of the Sea

When the Dragon’s crest is flying
Under clear blue open skies
Then our hope for life’s undying
As the saviour now arrives
Sailing cross horizons to the end
Forevermore the Dragon shall ascend

Fly, Golden Hind
Bring us the bane of the Armada
Rise, to the fight
He is the Dragon of the Sea

Sail, save our souls
Bring us the hope for our future
Brave storm and shoals
Oh mighty Dragon of the Sea

Sic Parvis Magna!

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!»
