Under the Grey Banner

Under the Grey Banner is the fifth studio album by Swedish power metal band Dragonland. The album was released on November 13, 2011. This is the third part of the Dragonland Chronicles saga. Damian Bajowski (known from PC game The Witcher) created the cover artwork for this chapter of the Dragonland saga. The album's title track is Dragonland's longest song to date (not counting the "Book of Shadows" saga and the "Old House on the Hill" saga), lasting for over eight minutes. The song's outro has the same melody as "Hundred Years Have Passed", the intro of the album, Holy War.
