Shadowgarden debut album "Ashen", out August 27th
Melancholic Dark Gothic Rock Jewel featuring Draconian's Johan Ericson and Lisa Johansson.
Gothic rock full of longing, tragedy, and melancholy; mastermind Johan Ericson (Draconian)
reveals a further facet of his musical craftsmanship, proving that he still is in command
when it comes to dark romanticism.
As such, Shadowgarden's debut is nothing less than an
enthralling gothic metal jewel characterized by somber riffs, driving rock grooves,
catchy melodies, and wonderful vocal lines. Time and again, Lisa Johansson steps up
to the microphone to lend her Draconian colleague exquisitely haunting vocals.
The crystal-clear production provides the tracks with the necessary heaviness,
while allowing both melody and refinement to shine in full splendor.
Shawdowgarden's debut is a mature and sweeping gothic rock album that manages to
spread its melancholic darkness while remaining far removed from the genre's overused cliches.
First 200 orders will receive a FREE EXCLUSIVE SHADOWGARDEN Poster,only available through
Napalm Records Mailorder !!
Draconian has finally started the song-writing process for a new album.
Earlier, vocalist Anders Jacobsson has stated the following in the
Community and on the MySpace-site regarding the future of the band:
"Draconian Anno 2010, a new productive era"
Dear friends,
We are aware things has been silent for a while, and that the possible developement of the bands' progress has been kept from the limelight. There hasn't been much to tell really. Things has been standing still for a while due to different aspects and circumstances, which I guess, in after-thought, was necessary. Now, however, we are about to rise from the half-light.
We are currently working quite diligently for Draconian to enter the second decade of this new millenium with a boost. Already, things are happening and we are doing our very best to follow up on everything we need in order for the band to stay in peoples hearts. You can expect us to ring out loud for the year to come.
Thank you for being patient and understandning.
Anders
and DRACONIAN
