Hauntingly doom spirit covers the world underneath
a melancholic, Godless Veil!
Almost five years after the release of their latest long-player Sovran, DRACONIAN cast their engulfing veil of melancholy over the world once again and announce the release of their new epos, Under A Godless Veil, out October 30, 2020 via Napalm Records.
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 states:
„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’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.”
