Artist: DRAGONY
Album: LEGENDS (CD)

Release date: 2012
Media type: CD

This excellently produced debut album comprised of melodic, symphonic Power Metal with traditional character stands up well against comparisons with the productions of long-standing combos from the international scene. So it is also no wonder that the Dragony musicians have become well known on the Austrian circuit. "Legends" combines the entire know-how of the six lads in ten songs which span sounds from tough heaviness to high-powered melody lines.

Overall, "Legends" can be summed up as high quality, symphonic Power Metal with ass-kicking melody inserts, powerful guitars and lyrics with insight. Of course, as far as DRAGONY's overall sound goes, one finds similarities with bands such as Edguy, Kamelot, Sabaton and Stratovarius, bands with unforgettable, attainable, melodic elements, somewhere between traditional, classical heavy metal and epically configured song structures.

Dragony have also been able to talk numerous guest musician into contributing their skills, for example Tom Tieber of Ecliptica, Katie Joanne of Siren's Cry and naturally Ralf Scheepers of Primal Fear, all of whom give their best on the album, as do many guest musicians from the Austrian scene. And it is exactly these additional performances by their guests that gives the material a certain rock opera character. Fine-tuning the result was carried out by Mika Jussila during his wonderful mastering work in the Finnvox Studios in Helsinki.
