Colorado power metal outfit Siege Perilous have teamed up with Metal Insider to share a video of their latest single, “Becoming the Dragon.” The track is the title track from their forthcoming record, Becoming the Dragon, scheduled to arrive on March 27, 2026.
The cinematic clip showcases the album’s transformative narrative, when the “Child of Prophecy” embraces destiny, defies cosmic fate, and ascends into mythic power. Musically, the track highlights the band’s evolution into a more orchestrated direction. The album features guest appearances from Fabio Lione (Rhapsody, Angra) on “As the Dragon Falls” and Kristin Starkey (Twilight Force, Temperance) on the power ballad “Echoes of Home.”
Vocalist Shaughnessy McDaniel comments:
“Becoming the Dragon’ forms the critical climax of the story of our album. We wanted to capture something beyond just fantasy; it’s about defying fate, defying the stars, and embracing the power within. There are moments in life where we either transform or perish, and this song embodies that choice. It’s the moment our hero unlocks the true power inside him, and we think the track shows that transformation expertly.”
