Norwegian progressive hard rock trio Draken releases Black Sabbath cover »Symptom Of The Universe«

Oslo, Norway based progressive hard rock trio Draken has released a cover version of Black Sabbath classic »Symptom Of The Universe«.

Draken comments: “Check out our cover of the Sabbath classic »Symptom Of The Universe«, available for streaming now! Taken from the »Book Of Black« recording sessions, »Symptom…« was a track we got inspired by when writing and recording the album. We did our own take on it, and we hope you will enjoy it!”

Formed in Oslo by bassist Hallvard Gaardløs (Spidergawd, WIZRD) and drummer Andre Drage, Draken is a rock band with an appetite for reinvention. Becoming a fully-fledged power triumvirate with the addition of guitar virtuoso, Even Hermansen (Bushman’s Revenge, Shining) on guitar, the trio dig on the Metals and Hard Rocks of old, and in doing so channel the inspiration they unearth into something truly unique.

In 2021 they released their self-titled debut album on Swedish label Majestic Mountain Records. In January 2023 they followed up with their sophomore album, »Book Of Black«.

Recorded & mixed by Vegard Liverød at Røffsound Recordings.
Mastered by Espen Høydalsvik at OSLO:Fuzz.
Cover by Frida Roland.
Cover design by Petter Haugen Andersen.
