Dragonlord "Black Wings Of Destiny (Japan, Nexus, KICP-1122)"

Black Wings of Destiny is the second studio album by the Black Metal band Dragonlord.

Almost all of the previous album's thrash roots vanished, replaced with pure black metal. Peterson also began extending creative control to the rest of the band, instead of writing all the music himself for this album. This is also the first album where the band first appeared in photos wearing corpsepaint.

Dragonlord "Rapture (Digipak, USA, Spitfire Records, SPT 15167-2)"

Dragonlord is an American symphonic black metal band that was formed in 2001 as a side project by Eric Peterson & Steve Di Giorgio of Testament, and Steve Smyth of Nevermore. The band is a result of Eric Peterson's interest in darker music, and not being able to do that with Testament he formed Dragonlord. The band combines elements of black metal (screeching vocals, keyboards) with some thrash guitar influences. Lyrical themes vary, either about the rage of a dragon (hence the name), death, war, lost love, Satanic or otherwise anti-religious themes (common in black metal), or combinations.

Rapture is the first studio album by the Black Metal band Dragonlord.

Though essentially a black metal album, much of Eric Peterson's thrash roots can still be heard, likening the sound that to the faster thrash style on Testament's "The Gathering" album mixed with symphonic black metal. This is also the first time Peterson attempted vocals on any recordings.

Track listing:

Lyrics By Eric Peterson & Del James, except where noted. Music By Eric Peterson.

1. "Vals de la Muerte [Instrumental]" – 1:52 (Lyle Livingston)
2. "UnholyVoid" – 4:39

4. "Born to Darkness" – 5:22
5. "Judgement Failed" – 4:20
