About Dragoncorpse

Dragoncorpse is an international metal band that blend elements of deathcore with power metal. The band was established in 2021 and is characterized by its distinctive fusion of contrasting styles of metal. The band consist of vocalist Mardy Leith, guitarist Kris Chayer, bassist Noah Nikolas Laidlaw, drummer Justin Gogan and orchestral programmer Dale Urbano. Notably, the band members are scattered across various regions, with the vocalist hailing from Australia and the others residing in Canada and the United States. One of the band's defining features is the remarkable interplay between operatic vocals and guttural screams, a contrast that adds a unique dimension to their music. Additionally, Dragoncorpse incorporates symphonic elements into their compositions, a departure from the norm in the realms of deathcore. This infusion of orchestral elements contributes depth and intricacy to their sound, enabling them to explore innovative and creative pathways. Dragoncorpse's emergence onto the extreme music scene brings together members from various bands, including Beyond Deviation, Throne Of Exile, Mortem Obscuram, Russian Novel, and Planetkiller. Their innovative approach harmoniously blends the aggressive attributes of deathcore with the melodic and potent essence of classic power metal, forging a distinctive and unparalleled sound in contemporary music. Their debut album "The Drakkath Saga" was released on February 10, 2023. The album, featuring nine tracks, embarks on a musical expedition with its opening track, "SUNLOVER," featuring Jacob Wallace from Brojob. The album deftly showcases the interplay of diverse sub-genres, commencing with a melodic, almost folk-like introduction that erupts into a deathcore crescendo. This album guides listeners through guttural, fierce vocals, punctuated by stop-start riffs and punchy rhythms, before transitioning seamlessly into commanding clean vocals and sweeping melodies reminiscent of a grand power metal voyage. The album combines the forceful vigor of deathcore with the majestic melodies of power metal, all while infusing symphonic elements, operatic singing, guttural growls, and potent breakdowns.
