  • love his voice ... lmL

  • i can still tell that's Eric on guitar. BUT ITS KICK ASS SHIT!!! \m/

  • I figured this would be another Testament clone. Good job to Eric for stepping out and doing something completely different than his primary band. Too bad the U.S. doesn't have that big of a market for this style of metal.

  • fuuuuuuuuu, I remember seeing Dragonlord like 5 different times one summer, i think they toured with a band called mudvane or something. Shit still holds up, bad fucking ass!

  • @hathegkla lol I mean mudslinger not mudvane mudvane sucks camel balls.

  • Good

  • Please stop using the term "symphonic black metal", that doesn't exist!

    Ps. Awesome band and song!

  • OMFG, It's the first time i listen to this band and I find it AWESOME. can anyone suggest me some really GREAT Symphonic Black Metal bands like this (i already know bands like Cradle Of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, and Apostasy, but i need more!)

  • I saw these guys at the Whiskey A Go-Go when their first album just came out. They had no corpse paint and there was only 12-15 people in the crowd.

  • epic nice for the winter days

  • I've watched this 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 times and I'm still banging my head.!

  • this fucking band is really great!!!!

  • This Dragonlord stuff is pretty good but I still cant wrap my head around Eric Petersen doing something other than Testament....especially singing.

  • he looks nothing like shagrath... -__-

  • this is satanical? hahaha, no ppl this is soft kind metal.. cool but kind.. if u want what i call "satanical" try grindcore or pornocore... thats a bit over the edge.. this is just great music^^ btw.. odysseasX: yea he kinda does look like shaggrath, only a bit younger maby :DD \m/ \m/ metal is forever...

  • @Elgolini \m/

  • @Elgolini pornogrind grindcore is crap, worst music i have ever heard.

  • I love 'em!!

  • @metalbound7 dude.... most metalheads ARE nerds. at least in some way. and lets be honest... EVERYONE would be considered a nerd today by old standards... WE ALL USE COMPUTERS :) thanks bye

  • He looks like Shagrath. Not kidding.

  • @odysseasX Only in the eyes....

  • @odysseasX Only in the corpse paint make up. I've studied Shagrath's face for artistic renditions of him and I'm yet to find any similitude besides the fact they both have long hair, growl and brandish cosmetic decor upon their countenance.

  • @Hellespentine There is only so much you can do with corpse paint for most people unless you get really artistic with it.

  • ke rico.. un poco de desquisio por las manianas cae bien

  • this is pretty good shit

  • These boys are the face of American Black Metal.

  • You can't go Wrong with DragonLord.

  • AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Dragonlord is incredible, it melts the very face of the earth!

    What's more, this video is hilarious. I love how they don't take themselves too seriously.

  • I like Black Metal with good taste, like Dimmu Borgir, Venom and Dragonlord, if that makes any sense. Norwegian black metal is always the same mood and riffs. Honestly, it doesn't seem like music at all, it's just noise.

  • @connorgow but immortal, satyricon, ov hell, an watain are so fucking good an dude that comments so fucking stupid just like saying all slayer songs are the same

  • wow Eric Peterson have Incrdible VOICE!

  • whoa..... awsomness

  • hmm...never really heard this band before....i like

  • this may not be black metal but it fucking rules regardless! I love the throwback sound to Mercyful Fate in this.

  • 7 people are idiots.

  • Does Eric Peterson sing lead vocals and play guitars?

  • @jcp1977 hell yea, lead guitarist vocalist and main songwriter

  • Vortex and Mustis should both just join this band and push it to the limits.

  • @AgentGustavo

    That would be a dream come true! Finally A real rival for dimmu :))

  • Finally. Black metal that's not incherent or typical. black metal should be heavy and diabolic, but i believe it should make sense. HAIL BLACK METAL!!!!!

  • Nice! Eric sounds HEAPS like Ihsahn as well

  • Not very original...

  • ERIC PETERSON=GOD! thumbs up if u agree! lol

  • @FilthyMaggot931 eric peterson is also the name of a canadian actor famous for being in CORNER GAS

  • @FilthyMaggot931

    He's like the new Qourthon

  • Eric Peterson.

    He made Trash Metal look very cool, now he made Symphonic Black Metal look very cool.

    Unlike Dimmu Borgir, atleast their newer albums.

  • @215day Thrash metal , not trash

  • does remind me a bit of emperors newer stuff, and the singing like dimmus, kinda cool though, is this a newer song do they have older dirtier stuff?

  • @keepitacrime yea this is their second album, check out the rapture cd. so much better in my opinion, but i freakin love this cd so yea haha. the first one is a bit thrashier... and prolly why i like it more haha

  • top symphonic black metal band

  • Epic

  • I prefer black metal over thrash, but I like the mix of it more than either. And I think that Eric Peterson is the most underrated guitarist ever. He's absolutely amazing.

  • Yeah! I loved this band, Dragonlord sounds almost like Emperor and Dimmu.

  • DRAGONLORD!!!! fuckin great!

  • super :]

  • This is brilliant.

  • Dragonlord are fuckin sweet! Black Wings of Destiny is excellent! I really hope to see more of them

  • Saw Testament over the past weekend with Megadeth.... F'n BRUTAL METAL!!!

    Would be sweet to see this band on it's own some day.

  • the best their song :o

  • in can see how the vocals do but not much else

  • Comment removed

  • These guys are good! I'd go to a Dragonlord show in a hot second

  • Eric Peterson is one of the best musicians.

    He creates great thrash riffs for Testament and he gots his own band where he does vocals and guitar. My idol!

  • this vid symbolise my IMPREGNABLE CRUELTY !!!

  • Comment removed

  • Who's gonna go see Testament in Long Beach???? I know I Am!

  • hell yea. got my ticket 2 weeks ago. :)

  • Man, first time I saw Testament Live in London and during the Trial by Fire I heard Eric's backing vocals. I was like "Holy shit!" That's pretty much how I found out that he's into black metal and stuff. And then I discovered this band. Even though the music is not "my cup of tea" I still respect everything that Eric does. The guy doesn't lack talent that's for fucking sure.

  • Comment removed

  • @fightinglion27 Souls of black LOL )))))

  • I can't wait til they release their new album. Too bad Eric is too involved with Testament and had to put off the new Dragonlord album. I like Dragonlord more as well. It just sounds so much darker.

  • Dragonlord is better than Testament. Dragonlord is so much blacker and symphonic. I have seen Dragonlord 3 times because they are from around my area but I think Eric should temporarily leave Testament and tour the States with Dragonlord. They should be a supporting act for a tour with Immortal, Dimmu, Emperor (if they come back together), or Behemoth.

  • @hardrockerofsoccer, haha the reason they're "blacker and more symphonic" most likely has something to do with the fact that they're a symphonic black metal band, as opposed to Testament, which is a thrash band.

  • lol Dragonlord r not better than Testament because u like more black/dark/symphonic/atmospher­ic.

    Dragonlord is symphonic/black and Testament thrash. If u like more the 1st it doesnt mean the others r shit.

    damn new kids....

  • @bloodcorer I know, its "I don't like them so their shit" now isn't it?

    I get the worst of it - I'm their age!

  • lol

  • @hardrockerofsoccer Just a band is "Blacker" doesn't mean they're better. Alex Skolnick Trio is better because its Jazz. NO its doesn't work. I prefer Testament over both and AST over this.

  • @Spghlax9 I prefer Testament over AST (I've heard it, didn't see what's the big deal) and this.

  • just w8 for it dude ther recording a new album right now and they will tour it ;)

  • Comment removed

  • what happened to them, they used to do alot of shows over here in riverside, at a place called Tremors, i think they closed that place down, but they still haven't come to southern california, since 2006!!!

  • i think Dragonlord hasn't toured is because Eric Peterson is currently with TESTAMENT on guitars.

  • yeah, I believe that cause I heard about Testament touring, doing a lot of shows, It would be great if Dragonlord would do a little tour in California, when Testament finishes the tour, but they will probably take a break before Erick gets back with Dragonlord to tour.

  • i love this band so much... awesome video and song... for me... i don't know for others.. but they sound like dimmu and emperor at the same time... .. fucking awesome baaaaand

  • wow this is pretty fuckin beast. why havent they gotten more press attention?

  • haha thats exactly what i was thinking, how the fuck did i listen such an awesome band for first time 3 years after their release, its ok not being sellouts but somebands take that very serious xD

  • I havent heard any of their new stuff, I use to have their first album, back about 6 years ago or so, but it seems like they havent lost their way. LOVE EM

  • Eric Peterson at its Best!

  • this is just like dimmu only WAY BETTER!!!!!!!

  • great song!!!...i didnt expect that from a black metal band

  • sounds a bit like emperor

  • that was my first thought, he kinda sounds like ihsahn

  • a little, ihsahn is much more a better singer (one of my favorite 3 actually) but eric sounds much alike him.

    Eric has stated that he's an Emperor and Dimmu Borgir fan

  • Fantastic song...

  • Anyone know where the guitar tab for this song can be had? I'm too lazy to tab it out myself.

  • sorry buddy but all the money ive spent on music over the last 17 years they owe me one not the other way around by the way say hi to lars ulrich because thats who you sound like faggot

  • Free is strictly better than paying last time I checked, buddy :)

  • In most cases, you would be correct.

    But when it comes to music, it is strictly acceptable only to purchase the album, if you are short on funds, you wait, that is my policy, and so it shall remain. I will not cheat these wonderful artists, or any, from their well deserved fortunes.

    Good day mate.

  • Great. Sounds like Testament, only with some symphonic black metal.

  • isn't one of the guys from Testament in this band?

  • Yeah yo

  • Yep. Eric Peterson.

  • yes, Eric Peterson is the lead guitar and vocals in this band and is in Testament.

    The bass player is Erics cousin Derek Ramirez. I grew up with them in Alameda Ca

  • This is kickass

  • Where to download this onto an mp3 player for free?

  • Great song, great video!

    Can someone explain me what's the song about? I mean, what's the meaning behind the lyrics?

  • It's about the Roman Empire and it's glory, as displayed in: "Hail to the glory of rome Bow damnati ad mortem Down goes the thumbs passing judgment Justice is served by killing you!" And in: "And the thracian sword Can you feel the surge Roaring out through the empire Standing alone Another battle won" - Thracians were enslaved by the Roman Empire. Wow! I've just realized that I'm a metalhead who's also a nerd... damn it! Well, Internet also helps now and then...
  • ahahahah! Thank you very much!

    I thought it was about something like that,but I can't get the relation between the video and the meaning of the song. There's no one frame showing something about Rome there. :-S

  • You're right... They're best shot would have been if they'd cut some scenes from 'Gladiator' and used them in this video. It would've been awesome!

    But still, Dragonlord kicks ass!

  • d00d i've waiting for that a loong TIME. PLS SOMEBODY MAKE A VIDEO WITH GLADIATOR CLIPS!!!!

  • about how the song and video are related, Rome had some similar torture devices that were used on the guy in the video, and the what the song is about is what the other dude said

  • Actually, there's two or three. I know Eric Peterson is.

  • i thought so, because it sounds alot like Testament and so it would make sense

  • Oh yeah. I forgot Lyle Livingston is in it too. A few other Testament members used to be in it too.

  • i love it , i love it , i love it and i fucking love it .

    great black metal.

  • some one are sure a black metal Hater well what a nasty mouth I'm pretty his breath stink's as well LMAO" well Dragonlord is a great band so far Hater's will never Grow+

  • you are all pussies

  • Great Song!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • posers or not, satanists or not.. i love them

  • go worship your false god, satan.

    i bet MY god can anally penetrate YOUR god.

    hes name is the flying spaghetti monster.

    he is the one true creator of all living things.

    RAmen.

  • woooow u like hitler, evil stuff, and satan. i bet ur big and tough, and totally not a 15 year old weakling who gets beat up every day.

    lolsarcasm

  • Your replies are no better than what you condemn!

  • That was for RKHugo!

  • dude wtf does this have to do with Hitler or Satan? this song is about The Roman Empire. if you don't like it just dont listen to it, and go play world of warcraft, yu gi oh, worship your spaghetti monster or whatever the nerds do. cheers

  • @metalbound7 Dude not everybody that plays WoW is a nerd. Corpsegrinder plays it. They even payed tribute to him in Lich King. He had character named Gorge the Corpsegrinder.

  • @RockForce131 Not everyone who plays WoW is a nerd but alot of nerds play WoW. Despite the fact that Corpsegrinder has a character named after him, it's still true.

  • @metalbound7 pastafarianism reference ftw :P

  • @metalbound7

    Support xD

  • @metalbound7 Dude, I play World of Warcraft and I love Black Metal and Death Metal... a fucking video game has nothing to do with music -_-

    By the way, I fucking play guitar too, Im a nerd and proud. MOST METALHEADS are nerds. Making fun of nerds was old by the 1960's. Don't be retarded man, anyone that says this is satanic or hitler or any of that shit is just a dumb shit trolling because its to scary for them.

  • This is a killer Song, Dragnlord is AWESOME LIVE. If you ever have a chance to see Dragonlord DO IT! They put on a killer show.

  • Kid (I'm guessing your around 15 or something) I'm giving up on you....

    SqeaoY

    figure that one out.

  • A troll is person who pisses people off on purpose on the internet.

    LAWL

    This stupid troll doesn't even know what he is!

    Take your shit elsewhere metalfag.

  • As you are satanist that's what I meant by 'False God' As in Satan you know, Lucifer.

    And I'm a metal poser?

    Pretty big assumption there seeing as you have no idea what I listen to.

    You just called Dragonlord 'shit metal' so that says something about you, posting on a Dragonlord video you fucking troll...

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but you said 'heil'.

    As in heil Hitler.

    I believe you the way you meant to honor your false god was hail.

  • Satan isn't a Nazi dumbass...

  • I'm glad that you gave your humble opinion while viewing a video of a type of metal that you don't like. I feel so much more enlightened because I now know some random person dissing a black metal band on youtube has a superior opinion then everyone else!

    People, noone gives a fuck about your low life opinions on a video on youtube so don't waste your time and theirs.

  • kapjátok be hülye amcsit! k*rva jó ! (magyar)

  • Are you an idiot? They're not black metal, but symphonic extreme metal.

  • ROFLMFAO!!!!! POP METAL!!! Are you dead fucking serious? They sure don't sound like Black Metal,but that doesn't make it Pop,not even when it has symphonic instruments.

    And if I have to say it,atleast this band can play the guitar better than you.

  • The coolest thing is that it sounds nothing like Testament.

  • Eric Peterson is an awesome vocals and guitars and Iike it so much.

    Thanks!!!

  • awesome \m/

  • \m/

    This song rocks <3

  • is Gian still in Dragonlord??

  • where the hell do they look and sound like Dimmu Borgir wtf are you hearing dude??

  • these dudes practice in sac town where my dand does.

  • tut tut eric, stick to the thrash m8

  • They F Rock I love Eric & Derrick!MuaH!

  • OMG!! i used the name ''dragonlord'' in WoW without knowing theres a group with this name. hehe i just discovered a new great black metal band xD hail BM!!!

  • This song is awesome, Dragonlord is a really good band but in my opinion, Eric Peterson shuld work in new material for 2009

  • they were supposed to have an album come out this year, but its gettin pushed back till Eric is done touring, whenever that is. =P

  • I think your ears are stuffed with crap.

    besides: some of these guys babysitted dimmu borgir.

    dragonlord and dimmu borgir \m/

  • are you kidding me? they even copied their corpse paint

  • It's called Black Metal, live with it...

  • you missed my point completely

  • I cant help but think the singer looks like Snape from Harry Potter

  • FUCKING BADASS!!

  • Eric Peterson looks pretty badass with corpse paint=)

    Hail Testament and Dragonlord!!!!!

  • I found out about these guys through TestAmenT and i have to say... Eric Peterson is a musical mastermind.

  • lol weird music video .. madd song =)

  • uuuuuuuuuuh......... stupenda!!!!!!!!!! =)

  • FUCKING HAIL!!!

  • dude this is like black metal KISS

  • Dragonlord do kick ass... can't say the same for the vid. Why not doing something related to the lyrics?

  • im more of the power metal guy...like HammerFall, Edguy, Freedom Call, Kamelot, stuff like that

  • Check out Savage Circus, if you haven't already. Most epic stuff I've ever heard.

  • Dragonlord, Dimmu Borgir, Belphegor o.O they all kick ass o.O

    so what the hell just enjoy this fucking kickass music ;)

    cheers

  • this is a great band and so is dimmu borgir so get the fuck over it and shut the hell up about dimmu being sell outs because they kick more ass than you could ever hope to

  • damn alot of ppl are comparing this band to dimmu, face the facts they both kick ass but dimmu kicks less ass

  • Cradle of Filth is considered a "sell-out" , not Dimmu, what the hell makes you think they're sellouts? They're not mainstream. Anyhow, this is Dragonlord here. Let's not worry about anyone else.

  • dimmu borgir are just as much sellouts as cradle of filth. ive seen stuff from them in every hot topic ive been to.

  • Just because they're merchandising in that store? Dimmu may have made black metal more acceptable, but you know, they sound fine and that's really all that should matter, not because of some bullshit about the meaning of black metal getting lost and it's legacy gettin fucked. Some early black metal really sounded like shit, imo. If it doesn't sound good there's little point in listening to it, regardless of the message in the music.

  • Eric Peterson has a good clean voice

  • great band......................
