DRACONIAN: New Album Title Announced

October 30, 2007

Swedish doom metal band DRACONIAN have issued the following update:

"DRACONIAN's fourth album is now completed. It was born in Fascination Street studio (OPETH, KATATONIA) in Örebro, Sweden, during September. For this recording the band invited U.S. NOVEMBERS DOOM vocalist Paul Kuhr for the narrative parts of the album. The album, which will be entitled 'Turning Season Within', has just gone through the last stages of mixing and we can assure you; producer Jens Bogren did an amazing job in shaping DRACONIAN's so far heaviest and most reflective creation. The release is set for late January 2008.

"In other news, DRACONIAN part ways with keyboardist/session member Elena Andersson after 14 months of service. The band gives their thanks and wishes Elena the best of luck in her various musical projects and future endeavours.

"DRACONIAN also would like to take the opportunity to thank Yishai, Yuri and Raven Music for their amazing kindness and generosity for having us in Tel Aviv, Israel performing together with THERION and DISTORTED in late August. Also a big salutation to the Israeli fans for their compliments and incredible dedication. Also thanks to the promoters, crew and fans at the Metal Female Voices Fest for a great and rewarding experience."

According to a press release, "Turning Season Within" features "raw doom elements combined with the soft vocals of female vocalist Lisa (Johansson) and the ethereal melody lines well-known to fans of the band." Songtitles set to appear on the CD include 'Seasons Apart', 'The Failure Epiphany' and 'Morphine Cloud'."

DRACONIAN released its special "bonus" album, titled "The Burning Halo", in September 2006 through Napalm Records (October in the U.S.). The CD features three new songs, new versions of several demo songs and three covers.
