Gothic doom outfit Draconian are back on May 8 with a new studio album, “In Somnolent Ruin”, out via Austrian label Napalm Records.
Below you can check out the second single from the album, Misanthrope River, complete with an official music video. The first single, Cold Heavens, dropped this past March.
Lisa Johansson, who sang on the band’s first five albums, returns to the fold for the new record. Lisa rejoined the band back in 2022, and this lineup has already played a run of new shows. Anders Jacobsson stays on as the band’s male vocalist, and the two of them handle the duets.
