Lately through Last.FM I’ve discovered this swedish gothic/doom band called Draconian, and I’m liking them quite a bit. It’s been since some time that my listenings have turned towards gothic/doom/funeral doom both in a light form (Evanescence, Lacuna Coil) and in a deeper obscure version (My Dying Bride), and I must say this band is attractive, both for the fact that they couple a deep surrounding grind voice with an ethereal woman voice, and for their lyrics topic, which is centered on literary cultured satanism.
Yeah, of course I’m not satanist. It’s all bullshit (as much as Catholicism), but the atmosphere is seductive.
Their new album is about to be published. It’s the fourth and it is called “Turning Seasons Within”. I think I’m going to listen to it.
Here is a song from their current album “The Burning Halo”. It’s called “The Morningstar”, which of course is Lucifer!
