“The vision for the album was to revisit and reimagine domains traversed by Dragonland in the past, as well as to explore new terrain. This album contains it all – epic fantasy stories, gripping ballads and blazingly fast power metal anthems, accompanied by a plethora of diverse lyrical themes.
Basically, we set no boundaries for ourselves thematically, and we wanted to reflect this in the cover artwork. Taking inspiration from ‘hit pack’ computer game compilations from the 1980s, we once again reached out to Pedro Sena, who also did the cover for ‘The Power of the Nightstar’. The result is the beautiful artwork that we now reveal, where each segment relates to a specific track on the album”

Xentrix Premiere “Allied With The Enemy” Video
Xentrix have shared an official video for the title track of their new album “Allied With The Enemy.” That effort will be released on October 30. The group said the following about the single:
“‘Allied with the Enemy’ track was the last one we did for the album, we didn’t actually need any more for it at the time but then funnily enough, as it turned out, it soon became the album title track and first choice for a single release. The general theme of the song is: ‘What if the biggest betrayal wasn’t just someone turning against you, but you being inadvertently turned to betray yourself?’ Lyrically, it’s written in a horror styling/slant with a subtle reference to the premise of the ‘Alien’ films. Musically, it sits as a cross between heavy metal and thrash metal — sharp riff-based guitar attack over double bass-driven drums. British thrash.”
