Drautran: 'Throne of the Depths'

Shortly before the end of the last millennium, the band Drautran from Kiel, Germany, self-released 'Unter dem Banner der Nordwinde', an album that has become a landmark of stormy Nordic metal. Their name quickly made the circuit in the international underground, a few concerts - among them the PartySan Festival in 2002 and the Av Is Og Ild in 2004 - cemented the reputation of this Northern German band, whose furious and highly atmospheric pagan metal descends upon the listeners like a storm surge to inevitably sweep them away.
After eight years of deceitful calm, another storm is approaching: in autumn, a tempestuous hurricane entitled 'Throne of the Depths' will descend upon all those who dare to listen to the band - the music's elemental force will speak for itself. The album will be released on October, the 29th via Lupus Lounge, with whom the band has signed a five-album contract. A dignified re-release of the classic 'Unter dem Banner der Nordwinde' has also been agreed upon.
