Drakkar When Lightning Strikes

2012, Drakkar is back to re-establish the foothold the band had in the Italian power metal scene. Without a shadow of a doubt, WHEN LIGHTNING STRIKES represents the group's finest and most developed album to date. The sound draws influences from traditional and neo-classical power metal and is impacted by the classic rock sound a la Deep Purple. The band's fourth release, and first in nine years, is presented in the form of a sci-fi concept about an alien machine (,,The Armageddon Machine") which lands in New York to judge the human race through protagonist and fighter pilot Colonel Hal Gardner. Drakkar has roared back on to the power metal scene, when the genre needs it the most.
