Name Origin:
Herman Li explained the meaning:
"Dragon can be METAL, can be fantasy, can be a Chinese thing, can be a power thing,
and can be a computer game thing. We always try to leave thing not static and you can relate to it
differently, just the way we do with the lyrics, so you can call us video game metal haha."
