Official press release:
Mighty Dragoons!
On the heels of the announcement of a January 2026 European tour with Ensiferum and Freedom Call, Dragony promised additional news. Here it is. Their long-time collaborator and frequent special guest vocalist for live shows, Maria Nesh (Red Eye Temple), is joining the band as a full-time member starting with the January tour.
Touring oftentimes poses considerable challenges for bands, especially when it comes to scheduling, so they made the decision to switch to a two-singer lineup to enable them to not only expand their musical scope by adding an additional female voice, but to also do more shows and tours than before.
Starting with the January tour, Dragony live shows will generally feature both singers, except in instances where one singer can’t make it for scheduling or work-related reasons, in which case, such shows will be performed solo by the other singer.
Nesh states:
“After playing with Dragony many times over the past years, it’s going to be fun to be working with them on a full-time basis and to perform even more shows with Dragony in the future. I am also looking forward to working on new music in the studio with the guys, and maybe there will be some exciting news to be shared in this regard very soon. For now, I’m happy to be Dragony’s new ‘Valkyrie’ and look forward to the big European tour in January! See you on the Road to Valhalla!”
Their current album Hic Svnt Dracones was released in 2024 worldwide through Steamhammer as CD digipak, 2LP gatefold version — download and stream here.
