New Album from Dragon Guardian

"Fantasy metal" band Dragon Guardian will release a new album, Shounen kishi to 3-ri no shoujo no eiyuu uta, on September 16th.

Like Dragon Guardian's previous full-length efforts, this will be a narrative concept album, with a storyline based on Sazane Kei's light novel "Sekai no Owari no Sekairoku 1 Sairai no Kishi". Unlike the previous albums however, there will be no spoken dialogue or narration between songs.

Instead, guitar solos by Arthur Brave's DRAGON EYES bandmate KOUTA will accompany the vocals of Harada Hitomi, Aoba Ringo and Nomiya Ayumi.

Shounen kishi... will be Dragon Guardian's first full-length album since 2011's Seimaken Valkyrias. For the last four years Arthur Brave has focused on collaboration work, including making three albums as part of Ouga.
