Description

And though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death... Exactly five years after their sixth long-player Sovran, DRACONIAN once again cast their breathtaking veil of melancholy over the world. This second full-length release featuring singer Heike Langhans delivers a captivating mélange of dreary doom and contrasty vocals and mixes Heike's angelic female voice with Anders Jakobsson's death growls.

Somit trägt der einstündige Longplayer mit dem von Natalia Drepina gestalteten Coverartwork das Vermächtnis des Gothic Doom Metals im Stile von My Dying Bride oder Trees Of Eternity ins neue Jahrzehnt und entführt bereits mit dem beklemmenden Opener "Sorrow Of Sophia" in eine Welt, in der Eleganz und Schönheit sich
