Draconian release new song ‘Sorrow Of Sophia’

DRACONIAN have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Sorrow Of Sophia, is taken from the Swedish gothic doom metal band’s upcoming new album, Under A Godless Veil, which is scheduled to be released in October this year.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist Anders Jacobsson says, “Sorrow Of Sophia was the first lyric, and one of the first songs written for Under A Godless Veil. This was years ago now, and I remember I’d just finished a lecture on Gnostic cosmology by Terence McKenna. He’d been speaking of the goddess Sophia’s ordeal and her story affected me on a very deep level. It’s sad yet heart-wrenchingly majestic bringing all of existence into it. I knew I had to do something with it for DRACONIAN as I was already having a few of Johan’s new song-ideas. This sparked what was later to become a whole album inspired by this story. It started here, with this song.

Sorrow Of Sophia is a complex song about a complex spiritual being. With it comes a diverse nature consisting of an initial minimalist soulful expression to feisty, heavy riffing with a harsh demonic formula to post-rock melancholia and symphonic soundscapes. Heike’s pure and crystalline vocals are beautifully entrenched holding the very spirit of the song.”
