Abro este nuevo tema para dar a conocer a esta banda de Gothic/Doom Metal, que por lo que veo no son muy conocidos, pero la verdad es que son geniales ^^

(Voy a hacer un copy-paste de su página, pero es que hoy no estoy muy creativa)

Los inicios de Draconian se pueden remontar a mayo de 1994, cuando Johan Ericsson (batería, vocal), Andy Hindenäs (guitarrista) y Jesper Stolpe (bajo, vocal) unieron fuerzas para crear Kerberos, un conjunto de Doom Metal con influencias del Black Metal. Siete meses después, el vocalista y poeta Anders Jacobsson se unió a la banda, que cambió su nombre al actual Draconian. También cuentan con la preciosa voz de Lisa Johansson, y la formació actual es diferente a la anteriormente dicha, estando formada hoy en día por: Anders Jacobsson (voces), Lisa Johansson (voces), Johan Ericson (guitarra), Daniel Arvidsson (guitarra), Fredrik Johansson (bajo), Jerry Torstensson (batería).

Hasta ahora, han sacado cuatro discos de estudio, que son:

WHERE LOVERS MOURN (2003)



ARCANE RAIN FELL (2005)



THE BURNING HALO (2006)



TURNING SEASONS WITHIN (2008)







Y AQUÍ UNOS EJEMPLOS DE SU MÚSICA:

Y una foto de la banda, que se me ha olvidado >.<


PD: el cantante, Anders Jacobsson (el que está en 1º plano), tiene cierto airecillo a Tuomas, (o a mi me lo parece xD)

Sus canciones son preciosas ^^
De las que has puesto, sin duda "Bloodflower" y "Death, come near me" son las que más me gustan, son una pasada *-*

No tienen ningún video-clip oficial, o me equivoco?

No, creo que no tienen, por lo menos yo no he visto ninguno >.<

Hey! Draconian posteó en su pagina web hace unos cuantos días sobre la salida de su nuevo disco, ya habían dicho que iba a salir por primavera o así, pero han confirmado la fecha, sale el 23 de junio!
Aquí está el comunicado ^^:

We are sorry for keeping the lid on during the writing and recording process of this album. It has been a quite hard route, at least for me, to get things right and in order. I guess, most art is flowing without restraint and changes during the time of its construction, and sometimes even the artist him/herself needs time to comprehend it.
Jens Bogren of Fascination Street sprinkled his magic over the songs during the production- and mixing process and each and every song found its way. We are grateful to have such a committed producer and we can only feel blessed by the experience to once again have made another album reality at Fascination Street.

The new album is called A Rose for the Apocalypse and deals with a vast dilemma we’re all facing as one species; the horrors and contradictions we’ve created in our ‘nature-divorced’ system. The title refers to the collapse of this structure, built by mindless human opinion. It also refers to the necessity of its demise. We are trying to capture the gloom of its realization. I don’t know if we’d want to call this a conceptual album, but most songs certainly deal with the same topic in one way or the other. I’ve reached a point in my life when my eyes remain open.

To most of you A Rose for the Apocalypse might appear a darker, more threatening album compared to the previous Turning Season Within. And yes, it is different in several ways, but Draconian remains the same. I have often said that our new work resembles a mix between the old and the new Draconian and will unite fans of both preferences. While listening to this album I feel a lot of history comes together in one place, at least sound-wise.

Our old friend Olof Göthlin contributes with some of his excellent violin skills on the album. Cover and layout is created by the amazing Seth Siron Anton (Paradise Lost, Kamelot, Rotting Christ, Moonspell etc). We sincerely hope we’ve created an album that will make impact on our beloved fans. Thank you for keeping up, sticking by us and maintained your faith in Draconian.

Anders,
DRACONIAN

A Rose for the Apocalypse will be released through Napalm Records at June 23rd. A limited beautiful digi-pack version with one bonus song will be available.
