Draconian announce new album ‘Under a Godless Veil’

DRACONIAN have announced a new album!

The new album, titled Under a Godless Veil, is the brand new full-length offering from the Swedish gothic doom metal band and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Napalm Records. The new album arrives after a five year wait since their last release, Sovran.

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 death growls will drag the listener into a sorrowful cosmos.

Speaking about the new album, the band says, “to us, 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’ 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.”
