I think I've heard of that band before but never listened to any of their stuff. I'm not a big fan of death metal though. I tend to go for more mild versions of it, with other elements mixed in. Therion, some Nightwish, some Cradle of Filth, some Opeth, and such. Though from the way you describe their newer stuff, I may have to check it out.

Mythological reference. I've got a thing for dragons and I like the myth that the goddess of chaos transformed herself into a dragon to avenge her lover. Kudos to you for knowing it though, since most people assume it's a Final Fantasy reference.
