Dragon Metal is a form of Gothic metal that combines traits of Doom and Power metal. The songs are all about Dragons and are sung by the angelic Tamara Venus Star. Ron Langford provides the “Dragon Vocals”, or screaming vocals, which adds the element of aggression, power, and strength to the lyrics. Holly Rains adds a powerful rhythm and groove with her dynamic drumming. Andrew Grant provides an old school guitar sound and grooving bass. Bobby Blackmon dials it in with relentless, riffing guitar. Ron Langford uses many real and virtual synthesizers to produce rich textures and dreamscapes. Dan Marshall and Ron Langford work intensely together to get the "sound" for the band.
