If this were the apocalypse, I'd be spending my money on artists like this and going out on my terms. I'll see you in the next life.

about

Founded in 1994 in the Swedish Säffle, Draconian gradually refined their sound of melodic Death Metal with elements of Black Metal, becoming more ponderous and doomy over time. Their style-defining 2003 debut LP 'Where Lovers Mourn' served a welcome alternative for fans of such classic doom artists like My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost. Contrary to many of their peers however, Draconian's sound has remained steadfast to its origins, in particular, the powerful vocal growls of Anders Jakobsson, one of the band's defining and most unique features, along with newcomer female vocalist Heike Langhans sensitively interwoven melodies. Draconian's sixth studio album Sovran is no exception to this formula, and immediately convinces the listener with Beauty and the Beast-esque vocal contrasts, striking accents, and threatening moods. Sovran also features a guest appearance from Daniel Änghede (Crippled Black Phoenix) on the haunting track “Rivers Between Us”.

INNER - SPACE
by ISON

supported by 60 fans who also own “Sovran”

This album takes me on a wonderful journey. As for my favorite track, I could hardly decide between 'ISAE' and 'Everything's about to change forever'. From my feeling I can already feel an immense progress compared to 'Cosmic Drone' in terms of the clarity of the sound. Thank you for sharing this album with us! <3 Horst Feldmann

Another World
by Light Field Reverie

supported by 58 fans who also own “Sovran”

I have everything with and by Heike Langhans and this is by far my favorite album so far. I particularly like the literature quotes from The Neverending Story and a few others. It's hard to decide between Ultraviolet and Another World as my favorite track since both are absolutely stunning and the rest of the album is nearly as much. Thank you for bringing this into existence! Deviant0815

The songs are partly liberating to the point of floating freely, partly atmospheric or also grounded. Sometimes even both, which excites me the most. Thank you for this masterpiece. <3 Horst Feldmann
