Sweden's DRACENA Is Back With New Mini-CD

December 18, 2013

Swedish female-fronted black/thrash metal act DRACENA will release a new mini-CD, "Ravenous Bloodlust", on January 30, 2014. The Drac Productions release will include four new songs recorded at Sonic Train Studios, which belong to KING DIAMOND guitarist Andy La Rocque. This will be band's first release since their full-length album "Infernal Damnation", which came out in 2006.

DRACENA was formed in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1994 as an all-female band. In April of 1997, the first demo was recorded and released as a limited edition of 100 copies on cassette with three original tracks and a cover version of the VENOM classic "In League With Satan". In 1998, drummer Karin left the band, but Mia (guitar, vocals),Emma (guitar) and Asa (bass) continued on, and entered Andy La Rocque's Los Angered Recordings studio to record the second demo (April 1999),with the help of session drummer Terror (SACRAMENTUM, NECROCURSE, SWORDMASTER, RUNEMAGICK). The three-track effort titled "Demonic Women" was released as a demo and a limited seven-inch single on Bloodstone Entertainment. In late 2000, Mojjo (DEATHWITCH, LORD BELIAL) joined DRACENA as the band's new drummer, and they released another demo, titled "Labyrinth Of Darkness". In 2002 band members decided to go separate ways and DRACENA was left with Mia as the only active member: she didn't give up, and in 2006 DRACENA released its debut album titled "Infernal Damnation". The same year band appeared on the W.A.S.P. tribute album with "Animal (Fuck Like A Beast)".
