Dragonlord Posts New Album Making Of Video
Dragonlord, the black metal project from Testament guitarist Eric Peterson, has posted the second video in their series chronicling the making of new album, "Dominion" online. You can check it out below, along with the previous installment. The record will be released on September 21st through Spinefarm Records and is their first since 2006's, "Black Wings Of Destiny."
Speaking about the album, Peterson said: "I'm super stoked for you all to finally hear "Dominion"! This song has all the arsenal to engage any metal appetite! From the first drum cannon-walloping performed by Alex Bent, to the melodic discorded sounds of my guitars and haunting choirs performed by Celtic singer Leah, entering in my lyrical blackened satanic tongue followed by unholy orchestrated strings and violas performed by Mr. Livingston - this song has it all! A beautiful violent storm whirls your way! Breaking down to two old school influenced guitar solos voiced before and after some cleaner melodic singing, only to be sucked back into the vortex... Enjoy!"
Tracklisting:
1. Entrance
2. Dominion
3. Ominous Premonition
4. Lamia
5. Love Of The Damned
6. Northlanders
7. The Discord Of Melkor
