Swedish Gothic Doom Entity DRACONIAN drops 1st Single ‘’Cold Heavens’’ + video

New Album , In Somnolent Ruin, Out May 8, 2026

New Album Marks the Return of Singer Lisa Johansson to the Band!

The undisputed leader of the 2nd wave of Gothic Doom Metal, DRACONIAN, is finally back – and they return in better shape than ever! Their new studio album, In Somnolent Ruin, will creep its way from the artist’s spirit into the light of day on May 8, 2026 via Napalm Records. This promises to be one of the most personal records in the band’s discography, revealed through a dream-like journey across nine tracks and the poetic lyricism of vocalist Anders Jacobsson. The new album also marks the return of long-time vocalist Lisa Johansson – the band’s vocalist for their first five records. First Single is ‘’Cold Heavens,’’ which is about finding no comfort in Heaven as there is no difference between being alive or dead.

Johan Ericson about the new single :
“In need of a more up-tempo song, “Cold Heavens” was the final piece written for In Somnolent Ruin. The intention was to create a simple, straightforward track to balance the album’s longer compositions and add versatility. Lisa’s laid-back vocals take center stage, guiding us through a bleak, cold landscape before giving way to Anders’ more spiteful and desperate delivery. The song ends with a sense of resignation, leading into the album’s next track.”
