Crunching riffs everywhere. Seriously, turn the lights off and blast this album out. I have the biggest smile on my face when I listen to this, I don’t want it to end. Stellar Tombs…what a monster of a song, you can see why it’s the band’s single release for this album. Incredible riff to begin with, you just can’t help yourself from some sort of head movement, feet and hands tapping on their own accord. When you read reviews, they rarely ever go over vocal pattern. I want to talk about it so you’re gonna have to read it…Anders and Heike have their patterns perfect. They complement the riff as if they were born to be written together. Fantastic harmonies. Where has this band been hiding?

 

I must confess, this is the first time I have ever listened Draconian. I can promise that this sure as hell is not going to be the last. I need more of this. The passion emanates through you when you listen to this. What a mixture of beauty and aggression caressing my ears. Just brilliant.

 

I’m struggling to find anything critical so say about this album. Even the album art is fantastic. A large eye with some scary looking trees, clouds and the star signs.

 

Getting nearer to the end of the album now with Rivers Between Us. And a co clean vocal shared between the two is intense. A little later in the song is an old school voice over recording which ties in wonderfully.

 

To finish the album off there is The Marriage of Attaris. What a finish to a fantastic album. Deep dark chords flow through the song like a downhill river drifts through the forest.

 

I honestly cannot bring to words how much I enjoyed this album. I hope that what I have said here is what you all think when you try it out. Pure elation is spread across my face every time I listen to this. Give this album your full attention. Believe me, it deserves it! Draconian…More Please!
