Swedish adventurers Twilight Force released their Nuclear Blast debut, Heroes Of Mighty Magic, on August 26th. While on tour with melodic metal titans Sonata Arctica, the band reveals their very first music video in the Force's history. The clip for "Flight Of The Sapphire Dragon" was directed by Magnificent Beast, and can be enjoyed here now. Expect something epic.

The Force revealed: "The song is teeming with dwarven folklore, and thus is much influenced by their ancient instruments and tonal language. Their folkish traditions had a significant influence on the creation of the song and we had to study many elder scripts to be able to harness the essence of dwarven musical fundaments. The song is a merry, skittish and exciting journey through the legends surrounding the Sapphire Dragon."

Swedish symphonic power metallers Twilight Force have introduced their new vocalist! Replacing Chrileon, who departed last year, is none other than Alessandro Conti of Trick Or Treat, Luca Turilli's Rhapsody and Lione/Conti fame.

The band stated: "Silence has been reigning in the camp of Swedish adventure metallers Twilight Force since they conquered European stages once again as support to DragonForce last autumn. Whilst secretly working on new anthems for their next output, the band has extensively been searching for a new singer and is pleased to finally unveil their new bard today - Alessandro Conti, known from LT's Rhapsody, Trick Or Treat and more.

"Hear ye! Hear ye! We are overjoyed, elated and proud to finally present to you, our brave and patient Knights, the new singer of Twilight Force. Please welcome Alessandro Conti! He has now joined our alliance, and will be a beacon of glory, hope and inspiration to us all. His astounding musicality and delivery of emotional and star-spangled vocals is in our opinion, without a shadow of a doubt, unparallelled within the genre today. And his radiant persona and wonderful character was a perfect match for everyone. We are honoured and delighted to henceforth raise our swords, bows, daggers and staffs by his side in the adventures to come. So now, join us, in a future illuminated by the fire of eternal light! And may the power of the dragon guide you all."

Symphonic/power metallers from Sweden Twilight Force are set to unleash their third studio album, entitled Dawn Of The Dragonstar. The follow-up to Heroes Of Mighty Magic (2016) was (once again) recorded in the group's own Twilight Forge. The album will not only present ten new stories to their loyal 'Knights Of Twilight's Might', but also introduce the companions' new minnesinger, Allyon, who has joined the band in 2018. Dawn Of The Dragonstar will be officially out on August 16th, 2019 through Nuclear Blast.

Statement from the band: "Lo and behold! We are beyond elated to finally unveil the third opus of Twilight Force: Dawn Of The Dragonstar. The absolutely magnificent artwork by the mighty Kerem Beyit once again brilliantly captures the adventurous and magical world of the Twilight Kingdoms; and a sparkling adventure it shall be indeed. Dawn Of The Dragonstar will be unleashed upon the realm of the living on August 16th, so we humbly ask for your patience for just a little while longer. In the meantime, practice your battle cries, sharpen your swords, and dust off your spell tomes. Make sure you are prepared to join and experience our triptych adventure."
