  • IMPORTANT NEWS UPDATE: Lineup Changes in DRAGONY!

    Dear friends, fans and followers of the Unicorn Union,


    today we have a very important news update for you. As you know, our five year anniversary show together with FREEDOM CALL and lots of special guests is coming up on November 2nd at the AERA in Vienna.


    However, five years are a long time, and sometimes changes happen. And thus we have to inform you today that unfortunately, Daniel Stockinger (guit) and Georg Lorenz (keys) will, due to personal decisions, no longer be a part of DRAGONY in the future. We wish Daniel and Georg all the best for their future endeavours both in and outside music, and thank them for their contributions to the band, without which DRAGONY would not be what it is today. For those of you who are interested, Daniel will be working together with a new project called DAEDRIC TALES (Power Metal in the Elder Scrolls universe, http://www.reverbnation.com/daedrictales), which we would like to bring to your attention.


    The show on November 2nd will take place as scheduled, as we have invited numerous guests and musicians who will help us out and support us for this show.


    For us, however, this change also meant that we had to look for suitable successors on guitars and keyboards. We have been hunting high and low, and we are lucky to be able to present the new guitarist of DRAGONY already today:


    Henceforth, Mr. Simon Saito will support us on guitars! Simon's enthusiasm and effort during our first few rehearsals these past few weeks quickly convinced us that he would be the right man for the job, and we are thrilled to have him with us. Simon will already support us on guitars at the show on November 2nd. Promotional pictures will follow shortly. Welcome aboard, Saito-san!


    Meanwhile, our quest for a new keyboard player will continue, as we are currently scouting several candidates. However, we are still open for suggestions, so if you are a keyboard player/composer and interested in joining DRAGONY, feel free to contact us on office@dragony.net and submit your application. We will gladly take a look at every candidate.


    Our other guests for the show with FREEDOM CALL will be announced on these sites in the next couple of days, so stay tuned! Tickets for the show are still available on office[at]dragony.net and www.oeticket.com! We're looking forward to seeing you all!


    Stay glorious! - DRAGONY

    Statement in German:


    Liebe Freunde, Fans und Mitglieder der Unicorn Union,


    heute haben wir von DRAGONY eine wichtige Nachricht für euch. Wie ihr wisst, steht am 2. November 2012 unsere 5-Jahres-Feier gemeinsam mit FREEDOMCALL und vielen Gästen im AERA in Wien an.


    Aber fünf Jahre sind eine lange Zeit, und irgendwann bleiben auch Veränderungen nicht aus. Aus diesem Grunde müssen wir euch heute leider mitteilen, dass Daniel Stockinger (Guit) und Georg Lorenz (Keys) auf Grund von persönlichen Entscheidungen in Zukunft nicht mehr Teil von DRAGONY sein werden.

    Wir wollen uns an dieser Stelle bei Daniel und Georg für die Zusammenarbeit in den letzten fünf Jahren ebenso bedanken wie für ihre Beiträge zum Gesamtprojekt DRAGONY, ohne die diese Band nicht das geworden wäre, was sie heute ist. Wir wünschen Georg und Daniel alles Gute für ihr weiteres Schaffen, sowohl in als auch abseits der Musik. Daniel arbeitet derzeit auch mit dem Projekt DAEDRIC TALES (Power Metal im Elder-Scrolls-Universum, http://www.reverbnation.com/daedrictales) zusammen, auf das wir hiermit auch gerne aufmerksam machen möchten.


    Der Auftritt am 2.11. wird aber natürlich wie geplant stattfinden, da wir ja zahlreiche Gäste und Mitmusiker eingeladen haben, die uns an diesem Abend tatkräftig unterstützen werden.


    Für DRAGONY bedeutete diese Veränderung jedoch auch die Suche nach geeigneten Nachfolgern. Diese haben wir uns nicht leicht gemacht, aber wir können bereits heute den neuen Mann an der Gitarre vorstellen.


    Und so freuen wir uns, von nun an Simon Saito bei DRAGONY begrüßen zu dürfen! Simon hat uns durch sein großes Engagement bei den ersten gemeinsamen Proben in den vergangenen Wochen schnell überzeugen können, und wird auch bereits die Show am 2.11. im AERA mit uns bestreiten. Promo-Fotos folgen in Kürze. Willkommen an Bord, Saito-san!


    Indes sind wir noch damit beschäftigt, den Posten an den Keyboards neu zu besetzen, und haben auch hier bereits ein paar Kandidaten im Auge. Solltet ihr jedoch selbst Keyboarder/Komponist sein und auch Interesse haben, Teil der DRAGONY-Familie zu werden, dann könnt ihr euch weiterhin unter office@dragony.net bei uns melden. Wir geben jedem potenziellen Kandidaten gerne ein Chance, und freuen uns auf eure Einsendungen!


    Unsere weiteren Gäste für die Show mit FREEDOM CALL werden wir in den nächsten Tagen hier bekannt geben. Tickets für die Show gibt es weiterhin unter office@dragony.net sowie auf www.oeticket.com! Wir freuen uns auf euch!


    Bleibt glorreich! - DRAGONY

  • BREAKING NEWS: DRAGONY signs worldwide deal with LIMB Music!

    BREAKING NEWS: DRAGONY signs worldwide Deal with LIMB Music!


    We've kept you waiting long enough, but now it's finally time to make it official: We are proud and honoured to announce that we have signed a worldwide deal with LIMB Music, and our debut album "Legends" will be available in stores after June 22nd 2012!


    We are especially pleased to announce the release of our first album through such an established and renowned label for our genre, for after all not only current acts of LIMB Music's roster such as BLACK MAJESTY, MAGIC KINGDOM, JUVALIANT or SYMPHONITY count as some of the best international melodic metal acts; it is also LIMB Music where the great RHAPSODY and PAGAN'S MIND started their careers.


    We feel that it is particularly important for a band in an early stage of their career to have an experienced partner who can help them set foot in the music business in these difficult times. LIMB Music simply has this long experience in melodic metal, and thus it ultimately was an easy choice for us to accept the offer by LIMB Music.


    So, we would like to invite you all to purchase our new album "Legends" in the record shop or online store of your choice once it's released on June 22nd 2012. Preorders are already possible in some shops in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and the rest of the world will follow shortly!

    We hope you enjoy our album as much as we do, and we hope you are entertained by DRAGONY "Legends"!

    However, it will of course be quite the epic quest for us to make it there… and you know as well as we do that going on an epic quest alone can be quite a boring experience. So there's only one thing we can do: Dragony is officially LFG…… Looking For Group!

    But guess what? We thought that this nice announcement calls for an early Christmas present for you guys as well, so we are very pleased to immediately announce the sale start of the official
    DRAGONY Metalfest 2012 Christmas Package!
    Order your Metalfest tickets directly with one of the bandmembers of DRAGONY or via office@dragony.net, and you will get not only the 3 days Metalfest ticket for the regular sales price of EUR 59.-, but you will also get a copy of our brandnew debut album "Legends" and a DRAGONY T-shirt in a size of your choice FOR FREE!!!
    So once again, please help us and support us by buying your tickets directly through DRAGONY instead of other ticket offices, and you can make a great bargain on our special Metalfest Christmas Package, valid until December 31st, 2012.

  • "Legends" - mixed & mastered!!!

    Hey folks,

    it's been a while, but we're finally back with some great news!

    Hard to believe, but it's true: The songs for our upcoming debut album "Legends" are already mixed & mastered!

    We would like to thank our producer Frank Pitters once again for the countless hours he spent on arranging our material, our mixing engineer Jakob Grabmayr of Wild One Music Studios Vienna (www.wildonemusic.com) for an excellent and transparent mix, and the famous Mika Jussila of Finnvox Studios (www.finnvox.fi) for his mastering services!

    So folks, this means it'll soon be time, and we'll have the first copies of "Legends" in hand - and those will be ON SALE at our album presentation show on November 5th in Vienna!

    Stay tuned for more updates on our YouTube channel and Facebook profiles though; you'll probably get some previews of the new album there ;)

    Cheers
    DRAGONY
