Sydney, Australia's DRAGONSCLAW have release their new video, for the track 'Defenders Of The Skies'. Check it out below:

Dragonsclaw recently uploaded three tracks to their official Facebook and Reverbnation page, as a preview from their forthcoming debut release Prophecy.

Vocalist Giles Lavery gives a rundown of three streaming tracks below:

‘Darkness Within’: “This track opens our album , it is a heavy Balls to the wall fast powerful dose of metal, it already seems to be favourite amongst those who have heard it and is very much in that JUDAS PRIEST style ... who are of course one of our favourite groups, we think this will be a stormer live too.”

‘Angels In White’: “Probably our most melodic track on the CD, the guitar harmonies and the chorus really stay with you after listening ... this was a very late addition to the album , we were working on a track that wasn't quite coming together and then this one just came out from an idea guitarist Ben Thomas had, He's great, he is a never ending supply of riffs and song ideas, We laid this one down in two nights and it is a fine addition to the CD, needless to say the other track got left behind very quickly... it is very early 80's sounding and hopefully will find favour among the fans of that NWOBHM or early US STEEL scene.”

‘Unknown Horizon’: “Another fantastic riff from Ben , and we called upon Corey Wyer from Australian band THE CURSING STONE for lyrics here, I have Known Corey for years and he's always been a great lyricist ... he did a great job here and this track is a face melting power metal anthem about a deadly entity from another world desending upon earth ... would we survive, I think not?”

Original artwork for the album was designed by Maggotmaster.

The new album features guest vocals from Blaze Bayley (IRON MAIDEN/WOLFSBANE) and Alessandro Del Vecchio (EDGE OF FOREVER, EDENS CURSE).

Alessandro Del Vechio commented on his involvement: "Even if I'm not the typical “metal" singer, as I am known for my melodic stuff, I grew up on the right stuff like DIO, Iron Maiden, BLACK SABBATH so I really enjoyed getting the call from Dragonsclaw. It's music I normally don't sing every day so my performance was genuine and fresh...and that's how a performance should be when you're a guest on a record. Really wish these guys the best!"

In the footage below, Blaze Bayley introduces himself and talks about the song, 'Prophecy Is A Lie', before recording his vocals for the track, which will be featured on the band's upcoming debut album, entitled Prophecy.
