What started in the summer of 2007 as a studio project conceived by a handful of enthusiastic Power Metal fans from Vienna, Austria as ‘The Dragonslayer Project’, has long since become an established name in the international metal circus;
and is set to release its fifth studio album ‘Hic Svnt Dracones’ in October 2024…
Following humble beginnings in the local Viennese metal scene, it soon became apparent that the Austrian sextet assembled by founding members Siegfried Samer (vocals, ex-VISIONS OF ATLANTIS) and bassist Herbert Glos (VISIONS OF ATLANTIS) felt a calling to greater things, which led to the renaming of the band from the slightly unwieldy ‘Dragonslayer Project’ to the catchier ‘Dragony’ and the release of the debut album ‘Legends’ in 2011/2012.
The band’s first album was able to garner decent feedback from fans and critics, however it would be the sophomore effort ‘Shadowplay’ that would yield the band their first hit song with ‘Wolves Of The North’ (2015).
The band was able to build upon that success with the EP ‘Lords Of The Hunt’ (2017) and the successor album ‘Masters Of The Multiverse’ (2018).
It was in this time that the band also embarked on their first international tours as support acts for bands such as GAMMA RAY and SERENITY, and also saw the band perform their first festival appearances at events like Nova Rock (AT), Wacken Open Air (GER), Masters Of Rock (CZ), and even on the 70.000 Tons of Metal cruise in the USA.
The continuous effort of the band finally paid off, as the band’s trademark combination of catchy melodies, witty lyrics and a considerable dose of humour was not only able to convince fans and critics of the band’s qualities, but also the people in charge at Napalm Records, who signed Dragony to a label contract and were responsible for the release of the band’s most successful album to date, 2021’s ‘Viribus Unitis’.
The album was a concept album which told an ‘alternate history’ of the Austrian Hapsburg monarchy, set in a steampunk world, and garnered the band their first entry into the Austrian and Swiss album charts as well as a nomination for the Amadeus Austrian Music Award, the most important Austrian music award.
Following their first headlining tour across Mexico in October 2023 and another tour as a support act for WARKINGS, the next chapter in the band’s history with a new lineup, bolstered by new members Matt on guitars and Chris on drums, will be written in 2024 together with the renowned metal label SPV Steamhammer:
The band’s fifth studio album ‘Hic Svnt Dracones’ is set for a release in October 2024, and once again the band took no prisoners and produced an excellent album mixed and mastered by genre great Jacob Hansen (i.a. AMARANTHE, EPICA) featuring 11 strong and catchy melodic metal tracks, which will excite both fans of modern Power Metal and traditionalists alike.
Once again Dragony invite the listener on an epic journey into long-forgotten times and realms, as the concept story behind ‘Hic Svnt Dracones’ tells a new, fantastical interpretation of the events surrounding the ‘Lost Colony’ of Roanoke in the ‘New World’ as well as the fate of the British colonists who disappeared there, all neatly tied into a bombastic Power Metal package…
There is no way around Dragony in 2024, and don’t forget – here be dragons…
