In Times of Dragons is the upcoming eighteenth studio album by American musician Tori Amos. It is set to be released on May 1, 2026, through Fontana Records.[1] Amos described the record as a "metaphorical story about the fight for Democracy over Tyranny, reflecting the current abhorrent non accidental burning down of democracy in real time by the 'Dictator believing Lizard Demons' in their usurpation of America".[2]
Amos worked with photographer Kasia Wozniak to create the album's cover art, a composite of multiple photos of the artist.[3]
Background
Amos has shared on social media:
In Times of Dragons is a story that parables the current dangerous times we are in - where democracy itself is on the line. As I’m fleeing from the character that is my sadistic billionaire Lizard Demon husband, I came across people I had not been allowed to see in years, and they had not wanted to see me because of the relationship I found myself in. To avoid being captured and dragged back to the Lizard Demon’s penthouse, I run to the deep south of the US to throw him and his henchman off my trail. One of the many characters I meet on the journey is The Daughter. We spend time and sing together. “Stronger Together” is the culmination of our relationship as it is transformed with The Daughter choosing to stand by me no matter what challenges lay ahead. Whatever we will face in the future, we make a vow to each other that we’re Stronger Together. [4]
