James Murray guitarist was in national act Dirt. They landed a deal with EMI and toured the country. James then went on to play in Concussion Bleu a Texas band playing cover and originals with drummer Bryan Deutsch. Hailing from Texas, Bryan brings dedication and hard work like the other members of Drakonus.

One day Jonathan was thinking of starting a studio project, that indeed lead to a full on band and Drakonus was formed. The goal is to have fun and make great music. “Having knowing the guys personally from around the scene and other projects throughout the years, putting together this band was easy.” Five friends united to bring our love for metal worldwide!
