DRAGONHEART Have A Dragonhearts Tale To Tell From Upcoming Album The Dragonhearts Tale

Rockshots Records announces its signing of Brazilian fantasy power metallers DRAGONHEART for the release of their fifth studio album "The Dragon Heart's Tale" due out this coming August 2023.

Dragonheart members are long-time friends that play songs with medieval and fantasy atmospheres. Some members are fans of RPGs, movies, and video games. As well as medieval music, renascence music, sailors songs, Celtic songs, 80s heavy metal, and German power metal. Their new album "The Dragonheart's Tale" is 52 minutes of power metal music of their own fantasy stories divided into 3 acts. The first talks about sea and pirates, the second about blood battles, and the third about magic and fire.

The album features 10 tracks covering many styles of power metal, with acoustic tavern music and an orchestrated track, voiceovers, and, sound effects stitching together the narrative of the fantasy world created by the band. The work is rich in instrumentals and vocal arrangements worthy of a band with 26 years on the road. It also features guest vocals from Henning Basse (Metalium, Fire Wind) on "Ghost of The Storm" and was mixed and mastered by Fredrik Nordström (Dream Evil, Hammerfall) along with the album cover artwork by Andreas Marschall (Kreator, King Diamond, Blind Guardian).

The album also marks the return of the band's original vocalist, Eduardo Marques, the band explains:

"On our last album (Battle Sanctuary) we went towards a darker path, and now with "The Dragonheart´s Tale" we wanted to return to our original roots. This is an epic power metal record with medieval influences capable to put our fans to enjoy the fantasy stories. They are songs that old bards used to play telling legends in taverns of the olden days."

Vocalist Eduardo Marques also adds:

“This new album is my Ph.D. in heavy metal. It was 19 years of waiting to return to Dragonheart and put all these musical stories together. It’s the highlight of our 26-year career and we hope we’ve made another power metal classic. We cover all varieties and influences in style. I believe that Dragonheart’s Tale has the capacity to make the fan dream again and live our sagas once more.”

Today, the band unveils their first story and the opening song "Dragonheart's Tale", which announces the coming of the general and which is a metaphor for the return of the initial lineup of the band. As an introduction to the tales to come and the name of the album.

"This song was composed as soon as Eduardo Marques returned to the band 19 years later. It's like an anthem and its lyrics are a metaphor. Only when the group is united does the band have strength with their fans. Dragonheart is a hero of album stories and it's like he's been reborn and become strong again to tell of his deeds. That's why it's the title track of the album. It would be like bards gathered around a campfire reminiscing about the past and planning future battles. This song has perfect bridges and choruses for fans to sing along. In the instrumental parts, there is a lot of influence from classical music. It is the most melodic song on the album." adds the band.
