DRAGONY “Legends”

DRAGONY
“Legends”
(Limb)
Austria might not be the most sexy country when it comes to symphonic power metal. I’m the first to admit that I wasn’t too excited over hearing Dragony the first time. It wasn’t as pretentious as I feared at first. There is an edge to this that stops it from going overboard completely. Thankfully I can appreciate this without feeling sick to my stomach. OK, so there are the symphonic bits but they are done tastefully so that they fit into the music instead of trying to overtake it all. This is symphonic in that restraint manner that Rhapsody never were. And even though Rhapsody has it charm this is so much easier to listen to. Anders Ekdahl
