Draconian - New Album Update
The upcoming new Draconian album, A Rose for the Apocalypse, will be released on June 23rd through Napalm Records. A limited beautiful digi-pack version with one bonus song will be available.
Vocalist Anders Jacobsson issued the following update: "We are sorry for keeping the lid on during the writing and recording process of this album. It has been a quite hard route, at least for me, to get things right and in order. I guess, most art is flowing without restraint and changes during the time of its construction, and sometimes even the artist him/herself needs time to comprehend it.
Jens Bogren of Fascination Street sprinkled his magic over the songs during the production- and mixing process and each and every song found its way. We are grateful to have such a committed producer and we can only feel blessed by the experience to once again have made another album reality at Fascination Street.
The new album is called A Rose for the Apocalypse and deals with a vast dilemma we're all facing as one species; the horrors and contradictions we've created in our 'nature-divorced' system. The title refers to the collapse of this structure, built by mindless human opinion. It also refers to the necessity of its demise. We are trying to capture the gloom of its realization. I don't know if we'd want to call this a conceptual album, but most songs certainly deal with the same topic in one way or the other. I've reached a point in my life when my eyes remain open.
To most of you A Rose for the Apocalypse might appear a darker, more threatening album compared to the previous Turning Season Within. And yes, it is different in several ways, but Draconian remains the same. I have often said that our new work resembles a mix between the old and the new Draconian and will unite fans of both preferences. While listening to this album I feel a lot of history comes together in one place, at least sound-wise.
Our old friend Olof Göthlin contributes with some of his excellent violin skills on the album. Cover and layout is created by the amazing Seth Siron Anton (Paradise Lost, Kamelot, Rotting Christ, Moonspell etc). We sincerely hope we've created an album that will make impact on our beloved fans. Thank you for keeping up, sticking by us and maintained your faith in Draconian."

Good news! Looking forward to this album. Every Draconian album is a gloomy fresh and dark breeze at the same time, and I bet this one's no exception.

Written by .:Nataras:. on 10.04.2011 at 17:37 Since Draconian is my fav band, I will like anything they do! Such as an album title like "A Rose for the Apocalypse" ! But let's not judge just by a title and wait for what it really is. Andres Jacobsson himself said that it's darker that their last release "Turning season Within". So I think I'm pretty excited about it.

I like the concept of this album , and hence its so reasonable that the music be darker than "Turning season Within" , i hope as Jacobsson said , they wouldn't disappoint none of their fans ...

After asking some questions about the meaning of the album title and what it means exactly, finally Anders Jacobsson himself came and posted this in their official forum. Just read it yourself: Quote:
