│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ From the land of Sweden comes this promising ║ │
│║ five-piece progressive metal band. Their debut ║ │
│║ CD is a powerful take on the grand style of epic ║ │
│║ metal filled with double bass drums, speed-of- ║ │
│║ light guitar riffs, sweeping keyboards, melodic ║ │
│║ high pitched vocals, and fantasy themed lyrics. ║ │
│║ The band obviously wears their influences on ║ │
│║ their sleeves, notably Rhapsody, Yngwie ║ │
│║ Malmsteen, Edguy, Symphony X, and perhaps ║ │
│║ classic Rainbow, but add enough of their own ║ │
│║ style to make things interesting. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ There are plenty of manic metal tunes here that ║ │
│║ will please every fan of the genre, such as the ║ │
│║ dynamic "Storming Across Heaven", which ║ │
│║ showcases the impressive vocal talents of ║ │
│║ drummer Jonas Heidgert and the chunky guitar ║ │
│║ playing of Nicklas Magnusson and Olof Morck. The ║ │
│║ two are a formidable duo, and when they are not ║ │
│║ weaving intricate solos around each other the ║ │
│║ guitarists indulge in savage duels with keyboard ║ │
│║ player Elias Holmlid. Fans of concept albums ║ │
│║ will love the complex tale of warriors doing ║ │
│║ battle to save their homeland, which reads like ║ │
│║ a J.R.R Tolkien story. The band does a great job ║ │
│║ of mixing epic sounds to perfectly compliment ║ │
│║ the lyrical content, but doesn't go overboard as ║ │
│║ a band like Rhapsody tends to on ocassion. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In a time where the world is so focused on ║ │
│║ terrorism and a slumping economy, it's nice to ║ │
│║ dive into a piece of music that can take you ║ │
│║ away from current events for an hour. The Battle ║ │
│║ of the Ivory Plains will do just that, and we ║ │
│║ can thank Dragonland for supplying a classical ║ │
│║ metal gem filled with great songwriting and ║ │
│║ musical muscle. Free the Dragonland! ║ │
