Draconian kondigt nieuwe album Under A Godless Veil aan

Posted by Tim Vermoens op Friday, 24 April 2020

Gothic metalband Draconian kondigt vandaag hun nieuw epos aan: Under A Godless Veil.

Deze nieuwe telg van Draconian komt op 30 oktober 2020 uit onder platenlabel Napalm Records. Het volgt Sovran op, hun vorig album vijf jaar geleden.

Het label omschrijft het nieuwe album als volgt: "The upcoming full-length delivers a captivating mélange of dreary doom and contrasting vocals and is already the second offer featuring the stunning singer Heike Langhans: The mix of Heike's angelic, female voice and Anders Jacobsson's thrilling death growls will drag the listener into a sorrowful cosmos. Already the first notes of the opener will draw you into the void of interweaving beauty, coalescing with paralyzing depression that leaves nothing but the desire of total immersion in the whole record. Under a Godless Veil carries the legacy of gothic doom metal à la My Dying Bride into a new decade of the genre."

Draconian voegt toe:

"To Draconian, Under a Godless Veil is by far the most diverse album we have created. Inspired by some of the music closest to Johan's heart; everything from traditional Doom to scaled-down, Gothic rock-inspired pieces and more. Some will perhaps describe the songs as more refined and meditative. Some ambient elements have been added to the mix without overshadowing the traditional characteristics that are Draconian.

Resonating with the compositions, Anders's lyrical direction is ambiguous and a progression of the first two-three albums, yet more subtle while embracing the Gnostic philosophy more directly. One could say Under a Godless Veil is an act of contemplation; About living and dying and remembering who we are in a strange, abrasive world far from home."
