Dear Knights Of Twilights Might, your nearly infinite wait has finally come to an end as Swedish adventure metallers TWILIGHT FORCE release their third opus, »Dawn Of The Dragonstar,« today through Nuclear Blast. To mark this momentous occasion, the fellowship has unveiled another piece of art, displaying the lyrical majesty of their new tale 'Queen Of Eternity.' Journey over to YouTube to witness the story in all its magical glory:
Keyboard wizard Blackwald states, "It is with great mirth and much delight that we present to you the third and final single before »Dawn Of The Dragonstar« is unveiled in its entirety to the world of the living!
It tells the story of a timeless and omnipotent celestial entity, an immortal and unfathomably powerful ethereal being, namely the Queen Of Eternity. She is the spirit and warden of realities and time, and the immortal protector of the cosmic winds. She is awakened from her slumber when unknown and malicious rifts in the space time continuum sends tremors through the fabric of mana. In the events which transpire in this particular song, she is facing the galactic ruler of the dark dimensions, who seeks to eradicate life, order, and time.
'Queen Of Eternity' is a fast paced journey through interdimensional portals, propelled by furious guitarwork and pounding drums. The song is also enlivened with a choral part, where the chanting of empyreal choirs constitutes a hymn in celebration of the saviour of the cosmos!
So, without further ado, we now give you - 'Queen Of Eternity'!"
