"Under A Godless Veil" is the seventh album by the Swedish gothic doom metal DRACONIAN. Since forming in 1994 in Säffle, Sweden, they have established themselves as one of the foremost bands. The five years has past since the last album "Sovran" was released, and it was the first with the new vocalist Heike Langhans. The band is still intact since the previous one and "Under A Godless Veil" follows the same path of its predecessor, but expands their route to prefect the formula they've been working on for such a long time.
"Under A Godless Veil" is a gorgeous creation of dark and slow gothic doom metal, mournful full of melancholy riffing, imposing sorrowful growls by Anders and tender, human hearted clean vocals by Heike. The album will spellbind you completely after the first minute on the opening "Sorrow Of Sophia" and sets the mood and speed how the album will take it's path during the up coming 62 minutes. With it's haunting power and the visceral magic of melody in "The Sacrificial Flame" is just marvelous, or the killer of the single "Sleepwalkers". The doomy "Moon Over Sabaoth" is a really epic piece followed by the atmospheric interlude of "Buried Fields". "The Sethian" is another very powerful and sentimental tune that softens the tear ducts. That heartfelt manner continues in the softish "Claw Marks On The Throne" that gives varying degrees of drama and serenity. "Night Visitor" is touching ballad that breaks well out from the heaviness. Everything ends in a very elegance way of the nine minutes "Ascend Into Darkness" that wraps "Under A Godless Veil" is the best possible way. This is an album that I highly recomend you to get.
Sum: "Under A Godless Veil" is a real goth/doom beauty.
