Dungeons & Dragons is a natural extension of the fantasy themes in heavy metal, which is how Gygax was born. Comprised of current and former members of Skeletonwitch, Warbringer, Gypsyhawk, Huntress, Sorcerer and others, the band loves three things in particular: 70’s heavy metal, D&D and Thin Lizzy. All are immediately apparent on “Pure Hearts,” the latest cut from their upcoming Second Edition.

“‘Pure Hearts’ is a tale of two lovers and their story of dedicated passion,” Gygax tell Decibel. “In a world of bleak despair and dying values, the song is an exultant homage to the better side of life: love, hope and compassion. It’s dedicated to the best game master I know, Henry Glasheen, and his loving and talented wife, Eleora.”
