Black Metal Quartet VISERION Present “Reign of Fire” Inspired By Game Of Thrones
“Reign of Fire” is VISERION‘s second offering to land ahead of the forthcoming immersive album, Fire and Blood that is due to arrive on January 16, 2026.
Laden with groove and melodies, “Reign of Fire” stands out from other compositions on the album’s track list. In terms of the narrative, this song explores the rise of Aegon The Conqueror and his dragon Balerion – notably how he seized control over Westeros.
The black metal outfit, who enhance their sound with atmospheric and melodic elements, delve into the realms of Game of Thrones. “Our concept for this album was inspired by George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones world. It particularly focuses on the Targaryen dynasty hence the title being their house words: Fire and Blood.” The band explains. “This particular song focuses on the black magic rituals that the Targaryen family was rumored to use in order to control dragons”.
