Draugr

Forged in Hertfordshire in 2013, Draugr have established themselves as a compelling force within the UK melodic black and death metal scene. The band’s approach to black metal is marked by atmospheric intensity and intricate songwriting, as showcased on their album Hymns of Temptation, released in July 2019. Draugr’s catalogue includes evocative tracks such as “Path to the Sky”, “Perish Song”, and “Wither Away”, blending raw aggression with melodic sophistication and even orchestral interpretations, providing listeners with a dynamic spectrum of sound.

Draugr’s commitment to live music is evident in their scheduled appearances in Edinburgh at The Banshee Labyrinth, as part of the Darkness Over Edinburgh event series in October 2026. On both evenings, they appear as a support act alongside the headliner Heathen Deity, cementing their presence within a robust lineup that spans the UK’s extreme metal community. These gigs promise to deliver their signature fusion of dark atmospherics and relentless energy to keen followers of the genre.
