Dynazty have signed to Napalm Records, and the first record of that deal is Dark Arts, twelve songs due on 5 March.
It is their tenth full length. The label language around it promises a trip into the deepest part of the psyche and safely back out, which is the sort of sentence a press release writes on its own, but the band's own comment is plainer: they wanted a label willing to put time, effort and muscle behind the records, and say they had been looking for one for a long time.
The first song is The Mission, built the way this band builds, with the chorus carried by Nils Molin, who also fronts Amaranthe. He calls it a song about the stubbornness of people faced with things they cannot get past, and one of the first written for the album.
The timing is not accidental. Dynazty open for Accept on the run that marks the German band's fiftieth year, which puts a Stockholm melodic metal band in front of audiences that will have arrived for something older and heavier. A new label, a new record and the biggest support slot of their career land in the same quarter.
