DRACONIAN

DRACONIAN are a Swedish gothic/doom/death metal band from Säffle, formed in 1994. One of the finest doom/death acts in Europe, their layered sound — crushing death metal riffs, gothic atmosphere, and the interplay between Lisa Johansson's ethereal soprano and Anders Jacobsson's devastating growl — creates music of profound melancholic beauty. Their albums on Napalm Records, particularly "A Rose for the Apocalypse" and "Under a Godless Veil", are considered essential gothic doom listening. DRACONIAN remain active and at their creative peak.
