Holy Dragons – Ivory Tower (Single, 2025) Music by Jurgen Thunderson Lyrics by Chris Caine Produced by Jurgen Thunderson (HDR Records) Recording and mixing HDR Records, 2023 - 2025 All right reserved (c) (p) 2025 Holy Dragons are returning with their new single! Holy Dragons — 17 Albums. 30 Years of Metal. No Compromises. Holy Dragons — a name that refuses to be ignored on the global metal stage. Formed in 1992 in Kazakhstan, the band has shattered geographic and musical barriers to prove one thing: true heavy metal knows no borders. Blending the ferocity of NWoBHM, the relentless speed of USPM, and the raw power of Teutonic Metal, Holy Dragons have forged a sound that’s unmistakably their own — powerful, melodic, and unapologetically heavy. Chris “Thorheim“ Caine — a frontwoman who’s more than just a voice. Her commanding, aggressive vocals channel the raw energy of Leather Leone and Doro, while her guitar work rips through live performances with precision and fire. A guitar-player vocalist who shreds? That’s not something you see every day. Jurgen Thunderson isn’t just a guitarist — he’s a shred machine straight out of the Shrapnel Records playbook. Blazing speed, soulful precision, and a bluesy edge where it counts — this is the sound of a player who could’ve gone toe-to-toe with the ‘80s guitar gods. Miss him, and you’re missing one of metal’s best-kept secrets. 17 albums. No compromises. No trends. Just pure, unrelenting metal, born against all odds. Stay Metal! Ivory Tower Stands in the clouds of thunder Above the storm A path of blood and sacrifice Through fire sworn The tower stands eternal Defying time and your fate Its walls conceal the wisdom No mortal mind can break He knows the truth Wrapped in riddles In the halls of the Ivory Tower Yet we are lost Trapped in illusions Chasing echoes we can’t escape In the Ivory Tower The elder speaks in riddles Through mist and shade Of knowledge long forgotten In verses laid He says that our sorrows Are dust upon the breeze For those who wrote the legends Still whisper through the trees He knows the truth Wrapped in riddles In the halls of the Ivory Tower Yet we still stray Lost in haze Chasing shadows we’ll never tame In our Ivory Tower Hey! Great Mage! You know the truth The time, the stage! Hey! Wise one! You saw the start And when it’s gone! Fire burns high! Shadows rise, they call my name! Storms will not die! Lost in time, yet still the same! Echoes won’t fade! Winds of fate shall bring the dawn! Truth is engraved! Carved in stone, forever drawn! He knows the truth Wrapped in riddles In the halls of the Ivory Tower Still we remain Bound by chains Trapped in stories We’ll never change In our Ivory Tower Wrapped in riddles In the halls of the Ivory Tower Yet we are lost Trapped in illusions Chasing echoes we can’t escape In the Ivory Tower
