 Swedish adventure metallers Twilight Force are set to release their latest opus Dawn Of The Dragonstar on August 16, 2019 via Nuclear Blast. Today, the fellowship has unveiled another epic tale off the much anticipated album in the form of animated pictures. The spellbinding images were captured by Tommy Eriksson and the video was produced and directed by Stefan Altzar. Enjoy the magic melodies of 'Dawn Of The Dragonstar' over on YouTube: youtu.be/qmHOIDUApfA Purchase the track here: nblast.de/TF-Dragonstar-Single Keyboard wizard Blackwald proclaims:- "Knights and apprentices! We are delighted and excited to finally present to you the title track from our third creation - 'Dawn Of The Dragonstar'! This hymn tells the olden tale of a mighty and ancient dragon, whose final fate is to ascend to the firmaments and become a star of guiding light. The splendour of his gleaming soul brings honour, courage and strength to all humans, elves, and dwarves. "The video for this song portrays Twilight Force on their journey to help fulfil the prophecy of the Dragonstar. By using the blinding swiftness of his nimble fingers, Lynd, empowered by powerful enchantments, imbues the petrified Dragonking with renewed life-force. However, the incantations required to enchant Lynd turn out to be volatile, and Born's potent decoctions come in handy when Blackwald's spell-casting manifests itself in a somewhat...unplanned manner (shapeshifting is indeed a handy school of magic, but it is better utilised for quests requiring great stealth rather than for awakening dragons). We hope you enjoy this adventure together with us, and may the power of the Dragon guide you all!" The captivating and beautiful artwork for the song, which illustrates the mighty dragon's ascension towards the empyrean void, was conjured up by none other than Martin Hanford, the creator of Twilight Force's very first album cover.

The vinyl, as well as the limited digibook editions, includes several bonus tracks. One is an exquisite cover version of the fellowship's 2014 song 'The Power Of The Ancient Force', performed by skilled singer-songwriter Hanna Turi. Secondly, you'll be taken on an instrumental voyage through the western-most Kingdom Of Vhardas, with an orchestral version of 'With The Light Of A Thousand Suns'. Last but not least, the Knights Of Twilight's Might will for the first time be able to experience never before heard ancient rudimentary demo versions of two of the first ever recorded Twilight Force songs, namely 'Forest Of Destiny' and 'Enchanted Dragon Of Wisdom'. Both tracks were conjured up back in 2007, long before Twilight Force was even an official entity or ever mentioned in the Book of Time. Watch and listen to 'Night Of Winterlight' here: youtu.be/4Z9NPkLrK_I Once again recorded in the group's own Twilight Forge, the album will not only present ten new stories to their loyal Knights Of Twilight's Might, but also introduce the companions' new minnesinger, Allyon, who was called upon by the prophecies to join the fellowship in 2018. Speaking about the new album, the band states, "Lo and behold! We are beyond elated to finally unveil the third opus of Twilight Force: Dawn Of The Dragonstar. The absolutely magnificent artwork by the mighty Kerem Beyit once again brilliantly captures the adventurous and magical world of the Twilight Kingdoms; and a sparkling adventure it shall be indeed. Dawn Of The Dragonstar will be unleashed upon the realm of the living on August 16th, so we humbly ask for your patience for just a little while longer. In the meantime, practice your battle cries, sharpen your swords, and dust off your spell tomes. Make sure you are prepared to join and experience our triptych adventure." After wandering across several foreign shores to proclaim the illustrious tales of their two previous records alongside minstrels such as SABATON, ACCEPT, SONATA ARCTICA, and DRAGONFORCE among others, TWILIGHT FORCE will of course be lying in wait to claim the universe's playgrounds. A few European festival gatherings have already been announced, more to follow soon...! facebook.com/twilightforce instagram.com/twilight_force nuclearblast.de/twilightforce

Featuring musicians from Majesty Of Silence, Rainforce, Proxima, the foursome known as Dreams In Fragments consists Seraina Schoepfer (lead vocals), Chris Geissmann (guitar, vocals), Jan Thomas (bass) and Franc Fritschi (drums) hailing from the small Swiss town of Wangen bei Olten somewhere between Basel, Berne and Zurich. The band's musical stylings have been compared to popular acts such as Nightwish and Delain. However, Dreams In Fragments have no reason to present themselves as a cover band of any of the greats; Seraina’s voice, operatic yet light as a feather, combined with Chris' growls sets the band apart in the same way the union of hard guitar riffs and dreamy orchestrations does. It is only fitting that their set list is built around the band’s own compositions such as 'The Maze' and 'Nightchild'.
In June 2019, the band will hit the road for an Eastern European tour as a support act with fellow Swiss friends symphonic dark metal group FORGE for their "Heimdall Tour 2019" in Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary. "Reflections of A Nightmare" is available for pre-order via Rockshots Records at http://bit.ly/DreamsInFragments_CD The lyric video of the first single "Nightchild" is available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/r-Gd-Juk_Tc Tour Dates w/ FORGE: June 1 - Mladá Boleslav, CZ - Farářova Sluj June 2- Praha, CZ - Modrá Vopice June 4 - Banská Bystrica, SK - Tartaros June 5 - Bielsko Biala, PL - Rudeboy Club June 7 - Budapest, HU - S8 Underground Club June 8 - Hodonín, CZ - Club Nautilus DREAMS IN FRAGMENTS is: Seraina Schöpfer: Vocals Christian Geissmann (Majesty of Silence, Proxima): Guitars, Growls, Orchestral Arrangements Jan Thomas (Rainforce, ex-Pÿlon): Bass Frank Fritschi: Drums Label website: www.rockshots.eu Facebook: www.facebook.com/DreamsinFragments  Black Lion is proud to welcome German Black Metallers Totengeflüster into Black Lion Records.

Vocalist Vivs Takahashi comments: «This was the first song written by FlowerLeaf. Marcelo [Kaczorowsky, instrumentalist] played some chords on the guitar and I quickly created the melody and the lyrics, and that's when we thought, 'OK, we can do this!'. The title of the album, "Stronger", is based on this song, which talks about how we can change the world even if we are just a grain of sand, so we need to be stronger.» Watch the lyric video for "Grain of Sand" at this location: https://youtu.be/9mvvBgjcJxc In addition to the producer and guitarist Raphael Gazal (Pastore, Bulletback), "Stronger", which is available on Spotify, iTunes and other streaming services, features special guest appearances from Mylena Monaco (Sinaya) and Marina La Torraca (Exit Eden, Phantom Elite ).
