Dragonland -Beethoven's Nightmare

[rikua]

tag lolz

[demon11233455]

(Me) "Well... i'm bored, guess i'll check out Dragonland, my friends have been talking about it anyways... Hmm Beethoven's Nightmare? Sounds pretty badass! (a few seconds later) (ﾟДﾟ) MOTHER OF GOD........

[MyNameIsAkiba]

I love the tags esojleugim put. "don´t be an asshole and buy their music they deserve it justin bieber is fag trololololo"

[Lordhawk01]

believe it or not they are swedish :P

[mafiadude141414]

are they german? im trying to figure it out without wikipedia. they dont really sound swedish or finnish

[arkilus]

1:38 = theme of beethovens patthetique (listen at 1:52 of this video: watch?v=79gzdskOGu4), also used in the windows 98 intro video: watch?v=ZLDTaHSwatc

[opsbo]

Someone can give me the 4 first albums of dragonland in mp3? Please I need them, it is the duty of you to share the good music that all enjoy, thank you for all :)

[randomname011]

Little bit too much vibrato, but over all... Bad ass song. =Þ

[obsession2eetbutter]

hmm... Swedish metal or german metal (Rammstein)? tough contest...

[germanthrash666]

@obsession2eetbutter depends on the scene... for death metal sweden without a single fucking doubt... for thrash germany... thats if you are in those scenes hahah

[Fakestar0x]

@obsession2eetbutter

Dragonland''s style is power metal but u can hear melodic death metal sounds combined with it, and thats the swedish style, so it is impossible to compare the two.

[Voshra]

Holy FUCK this is BANANAS <3

[Sayaja12]

Half these views are mine. =D Never get enough of this!

[Sirpwn64]

just came upon this band and they're fucking awesome. I love randomly stumbling across bands like this :)

[ImThatGuy629]

I met Anders Hammer from this band, he's a pretty nice guy. He was actually surprised that I knew who Dragonland was... and his name :P. Oh yeah, I told him that Beethoven's nightmare is my favorite song( He also believes it's their best song) so, he said they are going to start playing this song live. So basically, if you ever see Dragonland live and they play this song... you're welcome.

[LectricWutevr]

Is that Luca Turilli?!

[SeanMcStomper]

Thanks a lot, i already knew Rhapsody, Stratovarius and Symphony X, but I'm definitely trying out Dream Evil and Fairyland. Thanks again.

[SeanMcStomper]

Discovered this band a week ago or so...I'm totally amazed, they combine various sub-genres of metal, power metal being the most prominent of course. The singer is awesome, the guitarist and keyboardists melodies are great. Do you know any power or prog metal band as good as Dragonland? Not the most influential, I'm pretty sure I know all of those...haha. Anyways, thanks in advance. Hope this guys keep up bringing us some great music (and that their albums will appear in stores...)

[xmodus]

@SeanMcStomper try Dream Evil, Symphony X, Stratovarius, and Rhapsody of Fire. They're not as heavy/drop tuned as this, but still all good prog power metal.

[satanscradle]

@SeanMcStomper Also, give Fairyland a try.

[Schwartzdying]

I'm seriously, I'll join you people to listening this wonderbeauty band!

lml ^_^ lml

[SqueakRecords]

I pressed the play button and was sent flying 10 feet back from sheer awesome.

[bobeeq]

cool tags ;)

[slayer135791]

I'm guessing that mikeymauler1 failed english class

[CultureShockSix]

Awesome. Truly awesome.

Now, if people would leave Religion in Church where it belonged, that would be lovely.

[p6v53as435fe]

Bethowen's nightmare would be justin bieber, not some actual music.

[EveningStar83]

@p6v53as435fe I think Beethoven wouldn't give a shit as he actually couldn't hear anything

[NiggeliNG]

@EveningStar83 of course beethoven could hear. you can't compose anything when you're deaf. he may have suffered from a tinnitus but he could hear.

[EveningStar83]

@NiggeliNG Believe me. Beethoven was deaf in his later years while he was still composing. ;)

[ibanezxiphos700]

@EveningStar83

The pieces Beethoven did compose when he was deaf supposedly shit though.

[skylinezzz1]

nice...



[kikyoardiyanti]

nice one..................

[MrHardcorePsycho]

sounds a bit like dream evil

[esojleugim]

@mikeymauller1 hahaha no dude, they arent satanic, not even close to that

[mikeymauller1]

@esojleugim thanks for the info

[crossrage1]

@esojleugim i missed the comment but who ever called this a satanic metal band are OBVIOUSLY musically retarted, a satanic metal band is Deicide, not this

[Fakestar0x]

@esojleugim

they arent even black metal LMAO

[Sirpwn64]

@esojleugim LOL



[ChristFrets]

@mikeymauller1 I think you're crazy, you wanna know what is satanic? Daddy Yankee and all those damn reggaetoneros =_=

[Schwartzdying]

@ChristFrets How do you know about the reggaeton, if you are not spanish, or am i wrong :o?

[ChristFrets]

@Schwartzdying Actually I am from central america, unfortunately I hear a lot of reggaeton around here =_=

[Schwartzdying]

@ChristFrets Unfortunately I too, Here in SouthAmerica is the damn same thing!

Greetings from Chile :D

[ChristFrets]

@Schwartzdying Saludos de Nicaragua =D

[Schwartzdying]

@ChristFrets Y yo el IMBECIL! Seguía hablando el Inglés xD

[flaaaandeers]

@Schwartzdying hola loco !! XD

[Schwartzdying]

@flaaaandeers hola locooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !! ;D!

Que tal la vida :P!?

[flaaaandeers]

@ChristFrets a lot ? lot lot lot lot of this shit music .. fuck them !

[DirtyNerd86]

@mikeymauller1 Why is it that everyone assumes that when some band has metal chords and dark-ish lyrics they're branded Satanic? Seriously. I'm curious. There are plenty of Christian Metal bands which sound similar to these guys.

[the3rdmuskateer]

@DirtyNerd86 and there are plenty that sound heavier :)

[clemonsx90]

@mikeymauller1 This is just the genre. This is actually fairly upbeat metal.

[SoulHarvesterNS]

@mikeymauller1 Pfahahahahahahahahahah epic win, dude this is neo-classical metal xDDD Not even in the same dimension with satanic-like bullshit

[evilcloud85]

@mikeymauller1 ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahaha

[xmetalbassx]

@mikeymauller1 I know you're already getting crap about this but really? I know Christian bands that are darker than this.

[Jimbengoz]

beautiful and eerie tempo changes, superb technique!

[GutterSweatHavoc508]

Phantom of the Opera meets Iron Maiden....

[Faustblix]

Just too bad there other songs don't seem to match up to this one, ... but they'll always have this masterpiece. Through and through it's brilliant.

[Pavel910]

These guys are awesome! Just what I was looking for to refresh my playlist! \m/

[Kertezium]

HOLY WALL OF TEXT BATMAN!

Why is every post a paragraph?

[Vasoslaihiala]

@Kertezium LOLOL

[esojleugim]

[MrJesusvigil]

[pietermelle]

[Vasoslaihiala]

[vellron]

AWWWWWWWWWWW YEAHHHHHH

[blackened138]

See my hands... conducting a nightmare...

[ATKDat123]

I want to be in this Nightmare...seriously!!!

[111vnderbnder111]

@ATKDat123 going deaf was the nightmare. so you want to go deaf?

[PoweerMetal997]

|)RAGONLAN|) o.o YEAHH!!!!! /../

[Vasoslaihiala]

See my hands

Conducting a nightmare

The beauty of a melody

Is all that inspires me

to write my last symphony

Perpetual dream

never lets go of me

I struggle to live

without the notion of a sound

That could've opened my mind

[DEATHMASKEDFY]

40 basterds!!! ... this is the song of songs!!!

[MetalAge19]

1:40 man thats pathetique sonata :D first movement

[XxXBryantutosXxX]

Todavia No Puedo Creer Que A 40 Personas No Les Guste Esta Obra Maestra ¬¬

[ethanfigge]

My favorite Dragon Land song.

[CrimBlack]

I like the bit where they play power metal.

[Ayreonautsixsixsix]

grrr they better be still together!

[JaoquinQ]

this is so good

[DfeNsIvEmAn52]

i wish the singing was better



[JaoquinQ]

@DfeNsIvEmAn52 sounds like strativarious and rhapsody combined kinda

[MichaelEppinetteTV]

@JaoquinQ gotta love powermetal:P

[dragonchicano]

:O

[RockTheOcean4me]

I keep on pressing restart  :-)

[TsangBokyan]

having played virtually all the pieces put into this song on the piano, i can say i love this mix

[pandagoth]

God, I forgot all about this song. Definitely one of my favorites.

[HeyImShiveR]

@pandagoth dude i got drunk and was like wait a second, this song is fucking amazing HOW could i have forgoten it?

[blackened138]

See my hands, conducting a nightmare.

[BombsonBicycles]

what a symphony of rock. could it get any better.?

[boshabadoo]

This might make Beethoven go deaf

[puleknow]

I can't hear. Why is it so good.

[aarndbvb4ever]

My brother started playing this song and Iove the guitar at the begining! lol they freacked out when I put my song on though.

[Lycanthr0py]

I love all the allusions from Beethoven's songs. They really fit well.

[wisewarriormuzic]

The range of this dude's voice is sick.The guitar and piano is also jizz inducing

[xPressOStartx]

See that 300,000+ views there? at least half of it is mine....

[XxfinalnightmarexX]

@xPressOStartx the other half it's mine hahah

[chechonilus2]

i was looking Luca turilli`s videos and found this, now i like dragonland too

[TheFranciscolobo]

tremendo grupo....LONG LIVE SWEDEN...

[GirlofanAlchemist123]

is this melodic metal? or what?

[powerslaveiron49]

@GirlofanAlchemist123 its symphonic power metal realy if you like this youl like all sorts of songs from viking metal folk metal power metal epic metal and symphonic metal people debate over these subgenres to much

[Mugthraka]

@powerslaveiron49 Yup,the only thing i see is Epic awesomness of the Gods!

[Thox13]

@GirlofanAlchemist123

I think it is more like power metal.

[delionvanadis]

@GirlofanAlchemist123 it is called classic metal as matter of fact

[Fluffypopcicle]

@delionvanadis

No it isn't. Classic metal refers to the very early movements of metal such as Black Sabath, Iron Maiden, Judas priest, Motorhead etc.

[Fluffypopcicle]

@GirlofanAlchemist123

It's neo-classical symphonic power metal if you want be exact.

[GirlofanAlchemist123]

My eyebrows raised. And since I'm not supposed to be awake this late at night, I just mouthed "WOW". But I would scream to the heavens WHAT IN BLAZES IS THIS HOLINESS?! :D

[RavenRoxx1337]

so epic *___*

[ThePowermetalmania]

Wow this song is perfect.

[scottpwns0122]

I found out about this band from searching the Random section of urban dictionary

[dubochain]

<3

[KarhuTheBeast]

Does anyone have any clue who the figure in the cover is? Perhaps a historical astrologer? And what of the device he is holding?

[podmyj666fuge]

@KarhuTheBeast this guy on the cover is Mikołaj Kopernik great polish astronom

[KarhuTheBeast]

@podmyj666fuge Nikolaus Copernicus? Thanks, do you know about the device?

[ToXin88]

shows all the potential of dragonland. it's almost unbelievable that 90% of their other songs are absolutely purportless.

[SylasSlays]

@ToXin88

Its also the only song of theirs I can't find on turntable or grooveshark.

[GracefulAssassin1992]

Man i just listended to it and it blew my mind away great power metal song \m/

[BobbalinavsDave]

Ah, I remember this. This was my first ever power metal song. Good memories.

[jhanatos]

wowwwwwww que te temota!!!!!!

[khyve313]

the guitar solo on moonlight sonata part is amazing.

[oscarmanuel144]

castlevania?

[roial99]

@oscarmanuel144 Dracula he is backu-la

[dariobaruj]

this is awesome!!!



[Tephradermo]

Menudo temaaaaaaa ! jodeeeeeeerrrrrrr !!

[SibilantChristmas]

HOLY....SHIT...

[pvana]

one of the best rock bands of all time :)

[Alcube]

@pvana

this has nothing to do with rock... and music. Just noize

[DasShredDocter]

@Alcube and you have nothing to do with intelligent people... Just a troll.

[SibilantChristmas]

@DasShredDocter dude GTFO troll

[aHarvify]

@DasShredDocter derp derp derp

[heavymetalforever96]

@Alcube And you can go and jump off a bridge. This is what I call music and professionalism. This is what I call hard to play music and nice to listen to!

[SomewhatDisturbed95]

@Alcube You are retarded. I mean, you can't even spell "noise" correctly.

[CountSymphonic]

@Alcube

Held up to the standards of Music Theory itself, this song has everything to do with music as it's well composed. If only you knew how challenging it is to compose Classically influenced metal like this, you would respect the effort of these artists more for their hard work, even though it's somewhat of an arrangement of Beethoven's work.

[khyve313]

I just discovered this band,and already loved that

[DiegoDiego1989]

I NOW THE GITTARIST XD ONOW HIM

[ShreddingDragon]

Great solo over Moonlight Sonata, tasteful licks. Good song too.

[Tephradermo]

@ShreddingDragon ur right bro !!! this solo and the rythim it's so... how's the word?? exciting, maybe?...

Pure seduction...

(sorry for my english, i'm learning the language)

greetings from guatemala.

[DRClayFTS]

The suggestion to look up amaranthe was not a good one -.-

I am disappointed

[alevd14]

How could be the Beethoven's Nightmare??

He is raped by Mozart???

[ScienceOfSkullFuckin]

@BigBuddhaT Thank you, WikiPedia... You do know all of that site is posted by users, right? XD

[lumpyleg1]

liked it!

[guitarplayer67]

The first 20 seconds is amazing, the whole tune is good but the intro is awesome.

[990kai]

They sound kind of emo.

[vincent50cent]

@990kai emo means: emotional.

they are not that emo

[ScienceOfSkullFuckin]

@vincent50cent Emo is a genre stemmed from the hardcore wave, Emotive Hardcore is the actual classification, its any hardcore music that is produced with the intent to move the listener's emotion... Know your shit before you speak, lest you make an ass of yourself, sir :D

[johnny22233323]

hmm dragonland...good name, can the music hold up..?

[VIKINGMETALTHOR]

This band is really great !

[MultiDarkira]

que voz tan perrona tiene algo de rhapsody me encanta y la guitarra poca madre

[GorzTheShadowLord]

@MultiDarkira tienes mucha razon esta banda está genial

[VasiliSLiontaS]

Beethoven and Vivaldi... The first rockers of all times...

And that's what I say... A Classic guitar player...

[hobbodr]

I listen to this while playing runes of magic..........Kinda distracts me !

[steven961302]

[darksion124]

[Reign6467]

[mattliebl6199]

just by curiosity does anybody know who writes all of dragonlands music? i wanna say its either olof or elias?

[816bigbear]

Beethoven would be proud.

[Vormal]

@816bigbear

You cant know that.

[816bigbear]

@Vormal Any artist that gets an ode to their work made would be mad to not be proud/honored, in my opinion at least. :)

[Schmierskizze]

@816bigbear He headbeangs in his grave!

[Northorseman]

@816bigbear No. He wouldn't.

[rockntroopen]

@816bigbear you can say that alright

[mrk071895]

its still metal

[mrk071895]

ok for all u shit heads arguing about what type of metal dragonland is, who the fuck cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!! its METAL. thats all that matters. METAL!!! METAL!!! METAL!!!

[MarquiseCorvinus]

Extremly crazy awsome fucking cool.

[FurbyParade226]

And trust me dude, I'm no novice on Power Metal.  Check out my Stratovarius cover >=]!!

[FurbyParade226]

" "Herman Li commented on descriptions of the band's style in an interview with Guitar World: "Extreme Power Metal"." " I have no need to lie about such things, sheesh. They even have a song named after it on Ultra Beatdown for Christ sake..

[Xahelyan]
