Dragonland is a Swedish power/symphonic metal band from Gothenburg, founded in 1999 by vocalist Jonas Heidgert and guitarist Nicklas Magnusson. They built a dedicated following through their self-created fantasy saga 'The Dragonland Chronicles', which runs through their first two and fifth albums, while keyboardist Elias Holmlid's orchestral and electronic arrangements give the band a distinctive sound. Seven studio albums spanning from 'The Battle of the Ivory Plains' (2001) to the forthcoming 'Prophecies' (2026) have cemented their place in the European power metal scene.
Dragonland released the single 'Survival of Mankind' as the first preview of the seventh studio album 'Prophecies', which will be released on October 23, 2026 via Scarlet Records.
Guitarist Olof Mörck left Dragonland after more than 25 years; the band cited his busy schedule with Amaranthe as the reason for his departure.
'Prophecies' contains as Mörck's final contribution a song that he and keyboardist Elias Holmlid wrote back in 2013, but which was never recorded before.
'Prophecies' was produced by Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman, the Gothenburg studio that also worked with In Flames, Arch Enemy and HammerFall.
The sixth album 'The Power of the Nightstar' was released on October 14, 2022 - the band's first studio album in more than ten years.
