bmurator Swedish Gothic / Doom / Death Metal. I am not sure why it took me so long to be here. I missed it when it came out & then MJ recommended it to me (thanks MJ!) wholeheartedly but I still sat on it... But I am here now & I concur that Heike Langhans really has an outstanding voice! Plus the duet between her & Anders Jacobsson is just pure magic! Every song here is a dream here! Methinks t'is time for a new album & I am very much looking forward to it... :) Highly recommended!!!

locomalito Burial Fields is like a cozy place in the bottom of the abyss.

I was quietly fixing stuff at home while listening to a random playlist when I discovered it. It brings a deep and peaceful sadness and then casts a warm light over it. Favorite track: Burial Fields.

_stanzer Simply awesome. The sweet female voice combined with the dark growling just hit exactly my taste in music. Favorite track: Lustrous Heart.

about

And though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death...
Almost five years after their sixth long-player Sovran, DRACONIAN once again cast their breathtaking veil of melancholy over the world. This second full-length release featuring singer Heike Langhans delivers a captivating mélange of dreary doom and contrasty vocals and mixes Heike's angelic female voice with Anders Jakobsson's death growls. The one-hour long album, graced with a haunting cover artwork by Natalia Drepina, is carrying the legacy of gothic doom metal à la My Dying Bride or Trees Of Eternity into the new decade and will drag the listener into a sorrowful cosmos right with the first notes of the spellbinding opener "Sorrow Of Sophia" that interweaves beauty with crippling depression. After crushing slow rhythms and the fragile "Sleepwalkers" that leads through barren soundscapes, the band - founded in Säffle / Sweden in 1994 – rises up to their best in the nine-minute long 'Ascend Into Darkness', which will echo in the listener's ears long after the final chord has died away.
