Draconian - "The Sethian" (video)
of the continents,
the shifting of the elements
And an universe locked in glass
by an abject patriarch of insolence
My knees won't bend
My hands won't fold
I've sworn dissent
upon your Father
I am the Sethian
I did not fall from grace,
I’ll leapt to freedom
from the black iron prison,
from depravation to revelation
I’m but a dweller on the threshold
(of paradise and Earth)
My knees won't bend
My hands won't fold
I've sworn dissent
upon your Father
I am the Sethian
And you forget your god is a demon
I bleed in the lies you are preaching
This coffin in my heart
enclosed in the deepest dark
I was brought here
by the blasphemy of God
The perisher of Thought
Our knees won't bend
Our hands won't fold
We've sworn dissent
upon your Father
I am the Sethian
And you forget your god is a demon
I bleed in the lies you are preaching
The world is dreaming
(and) Your god is a demon
And mine is a mountain
of souls' screaming
Νέο βίντεο διαθέσιμο από τον πλέον πρόσφατο δίσκο των Draconian. Αφορά στην οπτικοποίηση του τραγουδιού "The Sethian". Η Σουηδική μπάντα επέστρεψε δισκογραφικά τον περασμένο Οκτώβριο μετά από μία πεναταετία. Το album "Under a Godless Veil" αποτελεί το έβδομο (συνολικά) "ολοκληρωμένο" δίσκος της...
Δελτίο τύπου: «Almost five years after the release of their latest long-player Sovran, Draconian announce the release of their new epos, Under a Godless Veil, out October 30, 2020 via Napalm Records. The full-length delivers a captivating mélange of dreary doom and contrasting vocals and is the second offering featuring stunning singer Heike Langhans.
The first notes of the opener will immediately draw the listener into a 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 : «To Draconian, 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.»
