FRANK PALANGI UNLEASHES “THE DRAGON” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO AS VAMPIRE EP ROARS ON

Upstate New York Hard Rock Artist Follows the Release of Vampire EP With a Powerful New Visual for “The Dragon”

UPSTATE NEW YORK — September 4, 2026 — Upstate New York hard rock artist Frank Palangi is keeping the momentum rolling following the August 28 release of his new Vampire EP, and now he is turning the spotlight toward “The Dragon,” with the official music video for the track now available.

Blending crushing guitar work, powerful vocals, dark atmosphere, and Palangi’s signature melodic hard rock approach, “The Dragon” delivers another hard-hitting chapter from an artist who has built his career by doing things his own way.

The newly released official music video brings the song to life visually, adding another dimension to the track while showcasing the intensity and darker edge that runs throughout Vampire EP.

“The Dragon” is featured on Vampire EP, which was officially released August 28, 2026, and is available now on major streaming platforms and digital outlets.

The EP showcases Palangi’s ability to move between thunderous hard rock anthems, darker melodic passages, massive riffs, and memorable hooks while maintaining a distinctly personal sound.

Remaining firmly committed to his independent DIY approach, Palangi performs vocals, guitars, bass, and synth while also handling the recording, production, mixing, and mastering. David Nester performs drums on the release.

The project also carries a piece of Palangi’s musical history, with original drum sessions recorded in 2014 at Rivergate Studios with Michael McManus, along with additional recording for “The Dragon” at the studio of Chris Henderson of 3 Doors Down.

With Vampire EP, Palangi continues a career built on determination, independence, and an unwavering commitment to his craft. Rather than following trends, he continues to forge his own path, combining classic hard rock muscle with modern production and a strong melodic sensibility.

For fans of Shinedown, Alter Bridge, Breaking Benjamin, and Sevendust, Vampire EP delivers a heavy, melodic, and cinematic hard rock experience that demands attention.
