Album Guests Fabio Lione (Rhapsody, Angra) and Kristin Starkey (Twilight Force, Temperance)
Colorado fantasy metal heroes Siege Perilous have released the official lyric video for “Cut Down”, a high‑octane heavy‑metal assault drawn from their new concept album “Becoming the Dragon”released this past March.
“Cut Down” stands as one of the band’s most traditional heavy‑metal tracks to date, a blazing fusion of Judas Priest grit, Dio‑inspired drama, and the battle‑ready bravado of Manowar. The song follows the album’s protagonist as he cuts a bloody path across the Infinite Steppe, only to confront the truth that he has become the very villain he once sought to destroy. In a moment of reckoning, he abandons his title as Chieftain and begins the long journey home.

The new single offers a fierce glimpse of the band’s first full‑length album, “Becoming the Dragon”, a sweeping, ten‑chapter concept record chronicling the rise, fall, and transformation of the Child of Prophecy. The album blends cinematic storytelling with standalone, hook‑driven tracks, featuring guest appearances from two titans of the genre, Fabio Lione (Rhapsody, Angra) and Kristin Starkey (Twilight Force, Temperance).
Forged in Denver, CO, and rooted in fantasy, history, and cooperative storytelling, Siege Perilous blends epic riffs, soaring vocals, and cinematic arrangements into immersive power‑metal sagas. Formed by Shaughnessy McDaniel (vocals), Scott Hancock (guitar), and Mark Girard (drums), and later joined by Eric Fischer (bass) and Ryan Flanagan (guitar), the band draws inspiration from Manowar, Battle Beast, Iron Maiden, Hammerfall, Sabaton, Blind Guardian, Rhapsody, Helloween, and Avantasia.
“Becoming the Dragon” (released March 27th) is available viaCrunchtronic Records on all digital platforms, along with physical CD and Vinyl, plus merch at the following links:
