about

With three critically acclaimed full-length albums under their belt and a Norwegian Grammy nomination to their name, Vredehammer stands as a testament to the uncompromising spirit of Norwegian extreme metal.

"The Dragons Burn" emerges as an impassioned tribute to the Viking era, channeling the raw intensity of ancient battles through its thunderous rhythms and searing guitar melodies. Crafted by Per Valla, the track aims to awaken a primal instinct, urging listeners to hoist their horns high and immerse themselves in a relentless torrent of crushing riffs and dynamic drums.

"‘The Dragons Burn’ is an ode to the Viking era," says Valla. "It was written with the intent to make the listener want to raise their horns and bang their heads. If you are into heavy guitar riffs and groovy drum parts, this track is for you!"

lyrics

Lyrics:

I walk closer to the mound
Dreadful appearance in front of me
Rats feasting on the ground
Possessed by hunger, devouring
Grey mist beneath the skies
Tainted, the ash is falling down
Lies drip from serpent tongues
Bound to watch the dragons burn
Caged, defenceless under ground
Crippled and weak, they face defeat
Roots ripped from the soil
The end of all, the greatest kill
Grey mist beneath the skies
Tainted, the ash is falling down
Lies drip from serpent tongues
Bound to watch the dragons burn
And everything was swept away
A violent purge, eradicate
And nothing stayed the same
The final plague
The dragons burn
And everything was swept away
A violent purge, eradicate
And nothing stayed the same
The final plague
The dragons burn
