Here's the new single Symbiote from DRAKEN's upcoming brilliant new album Book Of Black

Hallvard from DRAKEN says this about about Symbiote:

“Symbiote is the second single for our upcoming sophomore album, I hope you guys enjoy it! Anita Kaasbøl from Bladed  (awesome band, check it out!) added some nice vocals that blends with my own on the chorus of this song. I think it fits really well,  as well as complimenting the lyrics in a nice way. I have to say that I’m really proud of this track, and it all came together quite easily. I had developed the basic riff-verse-chorus idea, and later on we added on a couple of Even’s ideas as well. I really like that it is quite brass and to-the-point, but still has this whole solo/middle section with a lot of different passages. Even plays his socks off on his guitar solo as well, it absolutely blew my mind in the studio and it still does! Enjoy, folks!” 

Here's what the band say about the new album 'The Book of Black':

"We are really eager to share our sophomore album with you all! We think in many ways that “The Book of Black” is a very natural step forward for the band. It definitively takes our sound to the next level, both sonically and musically. "Bastards" has already been out for some time,  and now "Symbiote" is also out there. Those two songs are quite different from each other, but still we think it sounds inmistakably like Draken. We got some other surprises in store for you on the album as well, so don't worry. It’s harder, heavier and more brutal than ever before, we hope you dig it."
