Draagyn Share Debut Single “Majesty”

Posted in Whathaveyou on September 11th, 2019 by JJ Koczan

A little bit of ripping progressive black metal, you say? Don’t mind if I do. Bolstered by some piano, rife with melody and folkish elements Draagyn‘s debut single “Majesty” is a broad and clear statement of intent on the part of the newcomer outfit. In true — or tr00, if you prefer — black metal style, info on the whos and whats and wheres is sparse in favor of universe-collapsing-on-itself-style descriptors, and fair enough, but the bottom line is that as a first public track, “Majesty” lives up to its title in melodic poise and intensity alike. It’s eight minutes long and I guarantee it sounds not at all like anything else I’m posting today.

And while I’ll admit I’m something of an eyerolling fan of some of black metal’s theatrical presentation, the line in the PR wire info below about releasing additional music “as it sees fit” is pretty fantastic. Here’s hoping the band sees fit soon.

Audio’s at the bottom, but dig that headline too. Right on:

DRAAGYN EMERGES FROM THE DEPTHS OF A BLACKENED ABYSS TO LIGHT THE WAY FOR DEVIANT SOULS ON DEBUT SONG, “MAJESTY”

To be clear, this isn’t metal. In fact, it’s the end of times. The chilling moment right before you die. It’s something to be loved, feared and hated at the same time. An intense cataclysm, clawing and writhing its way from the blackened abyss. It’s to be adored or recoiled in disgust with no compromise in between. A grotesque, iconoclastic deity that should be worshipped or burned at the stake. A magnificent terror caught in the crossroads between heaven and hell that lights the way for the damned amidst eternal darkness. It’s artistry for the outliers and outlaws; for those with reckless abandon and exclusive fetishes. This is Draagyn.

With its first offering, “Majesty,” Draagyn parts a dead sea with an 8-minute opus of juxtaposing sound, beginning with an ethereal prelude, before all out collapsing into a torrent of violent darkness and immense doom. Bound by no rules and apathetic to any preconceived notions as to what is considered “music” or “art,” Draagyn manifests a supreme intensity and fearless brilliance which knows no limits.

Draagyn will release additional music in the near future, as it sees fit.
