Who Are Dragonlord?

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

I thought the name Dragonlord was cool, so I came in here, being the fantasy geek that I am.

And it looks pretty cool! Nice, celestial feel.

Does this design reflect the Dragonlord sound?

Some of my favourite bands right now are Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, Demons & Wizards, In Flames, Opeth, Arch Enemy, Nevermore, and of course some old classics like Metallica and Megadeth.

Are these guys as dynamic as the above mentioned?

Thanks! KPR

Kind of gives the impression of power metal I guess. It's really black metal with most of the guys from Testament (so it's pretty thrashy black metal).

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

Black Metal?

Well, Testament are quite an impressive band.

Do they sing about dragons and other fantasy things...like, say, Blind Guardian?

 

[Nevermorian]

Retaliation forms
The hanging of our brood
Captured soldier has his eyes pinned
then removed
Who's to blame? This ruthless war
This Devastation puts you out
in the ground

Doctrines received
From tradition and fire
sealing my fate
Comfirm-Why I was born


...So, yes, it's very Blind Guardian-like

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

Cool, dude!

they are waaay more complex than that. one can only take so much of "slaying the dragon" crap, which gets BORING, fast. it's more about dark, disturbing and mysterious themes, which leaves a lot to the imagination...

I don't get bored of sword & sorcerry stuff!

my apologies, dear OPR... that wasn't very polite of me! dragons are hella cool in my book .

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

No harm done!

I think you were trying to endorse the band more than anything...think nothing of it!

Now...if I can only find these Dragonlord CD's...

 

[Morgana]

You really should get "rapture" it is a great album!

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

RAPTURE, eh?

Thanks, Morgana!

where are you? in the states? europe? heard it is difficult to find the disc in some places. you can order 'em through the DL site... i'll double check.

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

Yeah, I'm in the states. But there's a cool local record store that could probably order it for me. It'll take about 30 days though.

I have to ask, I've only heard one song, "Unholy Void" (and it rules), but their vocals sound female, like Kittie. Do they have a female vocalist?

 

[Nevermorian]

I am very sure that Eric Peterson is not female

 

[AdamWathan]

I'd love to see Eric's reaction to that one, lol

OMG...you called the riffmaster himself..female sounding??!! He sounds like a Black Metal vocalist if ya ask me...

 

[Maglownica]

i think Eric would get mad...
female? nooooo!
most of black vocals sounds like that... (but Erics vocals are special-they're real fuckin' good!)
