SIEGE PERILOUS Launches Kickstarter For Concept Album ‘Becoming The Dragon’

SIEGE PERILOUS Launches Kickstarter For Concept Album ‘Becoming The Dragon’


Unveiling their monumental musical odyssey and EP Creation’s Call in August 2024, Denver’s fantasy power metal warriors SIEGE PERILOUS unveil plans for their first full-length album.

Entitled Becoming the Dragon, the album is the band’s biggest and most ambitious work yet—a cinematic, narrative journey set in a world of warriors, dragons, and destiny. To help SIEGE PERILOUS unleash this epic power metal story, the band enlisted two of the most epic voices in the genre: Fabio Lione (ANGRA, ex-RHAPSODY OF FIRE), a legendary power metal voice, and Kristin Starkey (TWILIGHT FORCE, TEMPERANCE), the powerful contralto who brings her operatic touch to the tale.

A single narrative power metal opera from start to finish, Becoming the Dragon is centered around the Child of Prophecy, the hero who slays the dragon, played by Fabio Lione, but then comes to question whether he is truly a hero or simply a pawn of an ancient prophecy. After a journey of self-discovery that takes him across a vast fantasy world he, aided by the mystic Sorceress (Kristin Starkey), takes on the forces of destiny itself to forge a new future.

To bring this concept record to life, Siege Perilous is using Kickstarter and, once again, enlisting the help of power metal fans.

Vocalist Shaughnessy McDaniel comments:

“After the incredible reception we received for Creation’s Call, we couldn’t wait to bring people what they had been asking for, a full-length album. We are so excited and blown away that we get to work with the legendary Fabio Lione and the absurdly talented Kristin Starkey to bring this fun yet meaningful fantasy story to life, and Kickstarter is such a great way to help an up-and-coming band like Siege Perilous maximize this opportunity. The dream for this album is big! And while we are self-funding about half of it, we need some help to bring this full epic vision to life and to reach its full potential. Heroes of power! Warriors of metal! Keepers of the flame! Join us on an epic quest!”
