Swedish symphonic power metal veterans DRAGONLAND have unveiled “Survival Of Mankind”, the first single from their forthcoming studio album, “Prophecies”, which is scheduled for release on October 23 via Scarlet Records.
“Prophecies” is a hard-hitting and meticulously crafted symphonic power metal journey set to engulf the listener in an ocean of soaring melodies, fast riffing, and epic orchestrations.
The vision for the album was to revisit and reimagine domains traversed by DRAGONLAND in the past, as well as to explore some compelling new terrain. This record contains it all — epic fantasy stories, gripping ballads and blazingly fast power metal anthems, accompanied by a plethora of diverse lyrical themes.
To bring this ambitious undertaking to life, while retaining their unmistakable signature sound, DRAGONLAND once again worked together with legendary producer Fredrik Nordström of Studio Fredman, and the end result speaks for itself.
