IMPORTANT DRAGONLAND ANNOUNCEMENT! #DL2026

IMPORTANT Dragonland announcement!

After a quarter of a century and six albums, the time has now come for me to hang up my sword and bow, and remove my armour permanently. It has been a joy to see Dragonland become a much more active band recently, both in the studio and at live shows around the world. Unfortunately though, this is a new adventure I can not partake in: It is no secret that Amaranthe keeps me incredibly busy at all times, and it is not fair either to the Dragonland members nor to the fans to to be part of an upcoming album that I cannot support on the stages. Be assured, this is a decision not easily taken, as I am immensely proud of what we have achieved together, and I would not be half the musician and composer that I am today without the learning experiences that this band and its members have provided.

Sons and daughters of Dragonland, do not be troubled, for these tidings are not only of ill! We must all rejoice that there will be an abundance of glorious music to come, both on and off the stage! The remaining five Lords of Dragonland are fantastic people and outstanding musicians, and are set to keep you entertained for this age, and the next! So, join me for this one last chant: For Dragonland! For evermore!

I will see you, my friends, on the Ivory Shores.

Forever yours,

Olof

Very excited for this one!

Starting the day.

I love the way they use the piano in this song.

Refuser - 2023 - Refuser - Jason

The one sandaled, it was meant to be.

Young Jason had a strong heart of steel.

Just to prove he's the one and true heir.

Challenged Gods challenged Earth, Sea and Air.

His will godlike, the risk though great.

Time had come to create his own fate.

Recruited legends and men of known myths.

Who'd fight with heart for the golden fleece.

Jason and the Argonauts sailing on Argo.

Riding the tidal waves for the fleece of gold.

Poseidon's Trident hunts them all the way.

Sealord is outraged and they need to get away.

After days of hard effort and anguish.

Found the mythic kingdom of Colchis.

Where he tamed the oxen breathing fire.

And forced the dead to bow to each other.

Jason now, master and king.

Fleece is his due to his great will.

Dragon's eyes closed in the night as he moved.

Grabbing the beauty bright as the moon.

Jason and the Argonauts, their quest is now complete.

Made it through the fire and sea, took the coveted fleece.

Now he’s back in Iolkos, settling what is right.

All the people bowing down to Jason's the might.

Jason and the Argonauts sailing on Argo.

Riding the tidal waves for the fleece of gold.

Poseidon's Trident hunts them all the way.

Sealord is outraged and they need to get away… Away!

Jason, Jason, Jason!

This remains my all-time favorite album. Not super easy to play after breaking your ankle and taking a 2+ year break from drums 🤘😜🤘

The Final countdown has like 1 and a half billion views on youtube.

This song is from the early 80s and the song uses double kick, extensive soloing, some of their music has neo classical elements, they use a keyboard. Even the imagery and lyrics on the early albums are power metal themed.

Can't stop listening to this one !

Lordian Guard - 1995 - Woe To The Inhabitants Of The Earth - Lost ArchAngel

"And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the

Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Woe unto the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! For the Devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time" (Revelation 12:9, 12)

The fallen one has come to rule,

From the holy skies.

Spreading wrath and razing ruin,

'Til the Second Coming of Christ.

The kings they kneel before his throne,

Veiled in scarlet robes.

And in his name their story's born,

And in his name they carve their stones.

The Adversary of the Lord,

He wields his famines and his wars.

The Adversary will be slain,

Christ the King will ever reign!

The Adversary of the Lord,

He seeks to devour, and he means to destroy your soul.

The Adversary, he will fall,

By the wrath of the everlasting God.

Billions of souls will perish in his fires,

In the endless day of the damned,

On the judgment day of man.

Woe to this world and the evils we have chosen,

By the pride and the will of man,

A kingdom built on sand . . .

The Adversary of the Lord,

He wields his famines and his wars.

The Adversary will be slain,

Christ the King will ever reign.

The Adversary of the Lord,

He seeks to devour, and he means to destroy your soul.

The Adversary, he will fall,

By the wrath of the everlasting God . . .

Beautiful live permormace, even though it is a complete reworking of the band, it lives up to the beginnings of American powermetal.

This album is very good, I really like the band's performance, even though they don't present anything new.

Worth a check.

I liked their debut but they really kicked it up a notch on this one. Unfortunately, their next album was a huge step down and they never got back to this level again.

Red Rum - Tempest's Rage.

New Power / Pirate / Battle Metal song from Red Rum. Cool artwork! A monstrous puffer fish I guess?

Second Running Wild album I ever heard(Under Jolly Roger was first), and still one of my 2 favorites alongside Black Hand Inn,

Great cover of this excellent Brazilian band.

Who there agrees?

It's worth checking out these guys' discography.
