Lifting up through all the bands France has to offer comes KRAGENS with Dying In A Desert. An amazing performance throughout this whole record will bring any metal head to his knees to worship and hail the new Heavy Metal leaders. Musical backgrounds ranging from Ace, Lynx, Demon Eyes, and Dirty Side KRAGENS conjoins all their previous sounds into their new musical experience with completely riveting performance. With skills from some of the members playing shows and in bands for over 20 years, this is truly their greatest accomplishment yet. KRAGENS resembles a similar sound from the band Fight and can match their talents and surpass their musical career. Catching glimpse of familiar influences puts the name of Queensryche into mind. These similar sounds of the past only tie Dying In A Desert’s sound closer together.

This album brings in all aspects of metal, some trash tactics ranging with a heavy metal background and melodic but hypnotizing voice. With the heavy metal scene trying to take over once again, fans can count on KRAGENS to make an impact. Renaud Espeche vocals somewhat resemble non-other but the man of metal himself, Rob Halford. All of the musical background mixed with harmony together can be put on the shoulders of Cedric Sellier-Guitars, Ludwig Laperche-Guitars, Denis Malek-Bass, and Olivier Gavelle-Drums. These guys all come together with perfect synchronization and with a metal to surely direct them right to the top. KRAGENS is out to lead the metal world back into control and is pulling unswervingly into the right direction.
