Dragonlord is Eric Petersen on vocals and guitar, Jon Allen (Sadus) on drums, Steve DiGiorgio (Death) on bass, Steve Smyth (guitarist from Testament) and local boy Lyle Livingston (Psypheria). Direction? Judging by the epic intro of \u201cVals de la Muerte\u201d and the bombastic delivery of \u201cUnholyvoid,\u201d these boys have been influenced by the black-metal hordes. Fans of Dark Funeral, Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir and Hecate Enthroned should embrace Dragonlord\u2019s CD like Nosferatu cherished those flasks of blood. Dragonlord creates epic songs with drastic bridges, augmented by Petersen\u2019s production efforts and Daniel Bergstrand\u2019s mixing skills. If this album doesn\u2019t incite random acts of sadism, it\u2019ll surely awaken the nocturnal and feral instincts buried deep within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(SN&amp;R)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eric Petersen has been a busy man.
