SIGN
OF THE DRAGONHEAD
is the seventh album from German/Norwegian Symphonic Metal band Leaves’ Eyes. It is their first full-length
album to feature Finnish vocalist Elina Siirala,
who replaces original vocalist Liv
Kristine. Elina’s impressive live premiere in front of more than 20,000
metal heads at the Hammersonic in Jakarta / Indonesia and other subsequent live
shows established Elina as a charismatic frontwoman with a powerful voice,
immediately sparking euphoria among Leaves’ Eyes’ fans.
SIGN
OF THE DRAGONHEAD
mixes Folk-inspired melodies with the power of Metal and the sophistication of
Classical Music and Opera. Their lyrics tackle Norse Mythology and the Viking
Age. Keyboardist/co-vocalist Alexander Krull and virtuoso guitarist Thorsten
Bauer prove to be ingenious masters when it comes to composing haunting metal
hits. Every track has the musicians upping the creative ante, revealing an
impressive amount of diversity without neglecting their trademark sound
elements.
Leaves’
Eyes musical vision continues to expand and move forward with SIGN
OF THE DRAGONHEAD. They have succeeded in creating compositionally
complex yet tangible tracks. Perfectly coordinated instrumentation – never top-heavy,
always unconventional. Medieval nyckelharpas, fiddles, uilleann pipes and
whistles blend naturally with the Metal guise.
This is music that is grandiose, powerful and engaging. This is Leaves’ Eyes.
