Under a Godless Veil

by Draconian

Under a Godless Veil cover art

The Swedish doom metal veterans deliver a profoundly sorrowful, highly atmospheric concept album heavily influenced by Gnostic theology and the myth of Sophia. The record relies on the classic 'beauty and the beast' vocal dynamic, pitting Heike Langhans's breathtaking, ethereal cleans against Anders Jacobsson's crushing guttural growls. It stands as a majestic, meticulously crafted peak within modern gothic doom metal.
