Blood of the Dragon (album)

Blood of the Dragon is the seventh album by Nox Arcana, incorporating an interactive puzzle.

The overall theme is laden with elements popularized in sword and sorcery stories and games, such as wizards, warriors, dragons, elves, witches, dwarves and trolls.

These and other dark fantasy archetypes are represented visually in the artwork that accompanies the disc, and are also strongly suggested by the musical compositions.

[4] The instrumentation includes heavy-sounding drums, gong, bagpipe, harp, acoustic guitar and fiddle, and features appropriate sound effects such as war horns, deeply reverberating chants, swords clashing, chainmail clanking and the war cries and stamping feet of what sounds like thousands of men heading into battle.

The music has been recommended as an alternative or complementary soundtrack for movies like Conan The Barbarian, The 13th Warrior, and The Lord of the Rings.
