DRAGONNE was a heavy/power metal band from Los Angeles, and the β€œOn Dragons Wings” EP was its first release back in 1988. The album is now reissued with its six original songs and three unreleased songs, plus the demo version of β€œLong Way”, which is among the band’s best songs.

The album has everything that a fan of this music wants; Amazing heavy/power melodies that travel you from HEIR APPARENT’s first LP to LEATHERWOLF’s second S/T album, with great vocals that match with the band’s music perfectly. It is very difficult for someone who adores the 80s, not to be thrilled with β€œLong Way”, β€œWithout Love”, β€œShades of Light”, or β€œNeed to Rock You”. These are very good songs that captivate the essence and the feeling of the melodic US metal in the 80s.

But there is also one more song that deserves special notice; β€œHeaven Calls” is a heavy/power metal anthem that the majority of the US bands of the 80s would love to have written. Fantastic song, with excellent melodic and powerful riffs, and an epic structure that makes the track an instant classic for those who understand and feel this kind of music.

β€œOn Dragons Wings” is a very good album for the fans of the 80s, especially for those who have spent many hours on the records of HEIR APPARENT, Q5, LEATHERWOLF or DIO. The unreleased tracks also add to the quality of the album (especially β€œShades of Light” and β€œNeed to Rock You”), making the album a more complete and satisfactory release.

WARLORD: The legend of William J Tsamis lives – Interview and...

To tell you the truth I was a little bit skeptical when I first learned about the Warlord tribute project set by drummer and founding member Mark Zonder and singer Giles Lavery to honor the music and memory of founder guitarist William J Tsamis who unfortunately passed away back in 2021. I was looking at the facts very closely, reading announcements about forthcoming live shows, new line up and a new album. The response from the fans was massive including both positive and negative (or very negative) comments about the above facts. "How can Warlord exist without Bill Tsamis?", they were asking. One afternoon I got a call from Giles Lavery himself asking me if I wanted to do an advance review of the forthcoming Warlord album. I replied positively still being in this skeptical mood. It all went away after the first listen... William J Tsamis was there. His music, his legend, his compositions, evolved into complete songs. In total excitement I texted Giles a single message "Bill is alive". The very next evening found Mark, Giles and I talking about the album, about Bill, about the music and the legacy. It was late at night when we ended the call. I asked them if I can publish our conversation and they got no problem. So here it is again: Me talking with Warlord. The usual stuff I am doing the last 25 years for various reasons. But this time I would not call this conversation an interview. To my eyes this is a big ethical, artistic and soulful statement, by some people who want to keep the Dream, alive.
