Founded in 1983, DRAKKAR made their mark on the European metal scene with their 1988 debut X-Rated (New Musidisc), earning strong recognition and touring alongside Queensrÿche, Metallica, Overkill, and Slayer. After reforming in 2011, the band reissued X-Rated in 2012 (produced by Simone Mularoni), welcomed back original vocalist Fab “Leni” Vanbellinghen in 2013, and released Once Upon a Time in Hell in 2014. They followed with over 80 European shows and the live album Once Upon a Time Hellive in 2016. Following the passing of founding member Thierry Del Cane, DRAKKAR chose to continue in his memory, releasing new material between 2022 and 2025. Now, Invasion marks a new chapter, with Leni Andersen back on vocals and founding bassist Guy Duvy returning alongside Thomas Vanhorebeek, Nico RR, and Adrien Delgambe. |
