Born in 1995, Drakkar is one of the prime movers of the Italian Power Metal scene, together with bands like Rhapsody Of Fire, Labyrinth and Domine. They published two demotapes in 1996 and 1997. The debut album, “Quest For Glory” (1998) and the sophomore release, “Gemini” (2000), were well received not just in Italy, but internationally, and are nowadays regarded as prime examples of the creativity and passion of the first wave of Italian Power Metal. The third album “Razorblade God” came out in 2002 with a new line-up. The new members, including new singer Davide Dell’Orto, helped Drakkar to create an even more personal sound, incorporating some thrash and 70's hard rock influences. Their next effort “When Lightning Strikes” was released in 2012. The record was very successful and was followed by other two releases: “Run With The Wolf” (2015) and the EP “Cold Winter’s Night” (2018). The band spent 2019 writing and recording a new full-length. The dragonship sails on!
