Dragonland is a power metal musical group from Sweden. The group is most notable for basing their two first albums upon the self-produced The Dragonland Chronicles fantasy saga and for the original symphonic/electronic parts by Elias Holmlid. Nightrage's Marios Iliopoulos and Dead by April's Jimmie Strimell have provided guest appearances on their latest album, Astronomy.

On April 27 of 2008, work on an upcoming fifth Dragonland album was announced via Blabbermouth.

In September 2009, Dragonland launched their re-designed Myspace site, together with a high-quality preproduction of "The Shadow of The Mithril Mountains", a song from the fifth album.

On March 15 of 2011, Dragonland announced on their Myspace that the fifth album is nearing completion and they will start recording it on May 31.

On August 14 of 2011, Dragonland announced through their Facebook that the fifth album (Under The Grey Banner) was completed.

The album was released on November 18, 2011.
