Dragonsclaw

Dragonsclaw is an Australian heavy metal band formed in 2010, spearheaded by guitarist Ben Thomas and vocalist Giles Lavery, who has a notable background with bands like Warlord, Alcatrazz, and Jack Starr. Their sound masterfully blends traditional Heavy Metal with melodic Power Metal, influenced by classic Australian hard rock and the legendary music scenes of the US and UK, drawing inspiration from icons such as Judas Priest, Dio, Iron Maiden, and more. Based in Sydney, Dragonsclaw injects classic metal energy with modern production, delivering powerful riffs and soaring vocals through releases like their debut "Prophecy" and their recent album "Moving Target" slated for 2025.

They channel the raw technicality and epic storytelling typical of power metal, while their music carries a distinct Australian hard rock vibe reminiscent of Buffalo and Rose Tattoo's electrifying style. With aggressive guitar work and memorable melodies, Dragonsclaw energizes the metal scene with a sound that's both nostalgic and fresh, appealing to fans of classic traditional and power metal alike.
