Free Music Review: the most beautiful color, black
Hit: 4 Stars
For those unfamiliar with their style, Draconian specialize in relentless metal riffs driven by a pair of guitars and led by the growls of Anders Jakobsson, but superbly followed by the slow, orchestral serenades of Lisa Johansson. Their music isn't quite as complex as that of Theatre of Tragedy (of Velvet Darkness days), nor as diverse as that of Tristania (beyond the veil days) but the overall effect is quite similar: mesmeric, inspiring, dark, beautiful music.
In Seasons Apart, it's business as usual for the band. There are no departures from the style which brought them success; however, they have concocted several pieces of amazing music on this album. Earthbound and Morphine Could stand out for me in particular.. the right balance between driving percussions, ripping guitars and airy melodies is achieved and the roles of the two vocalists are superbly cast.
Despite the pervasive lyrical themes centering on insanity, suicide and death (as is appropriate in doom metal), the feeling I get when listening to this album is not one of despair. My brain hears the words.. [in Earthbound: "Would you help me slit my wrists? Would you help me... DIE!!!!"] but my mind is processing the music behind it and reveling in its glorious melodies and not caring about what are much more than suicidal overtones. If you are prone to depression, or like happy music, maybe this album is not for you. But if you are enraptured by dark, beautiful melodies and the variety between growls and female vocals, this is the album for you!
Turning Season Within Poster
The latest work from the Swedish masters of doom is both tragic and beautiful, and filled with songs of longing and drama. Only Draconian is able to so skillfully follow romantic passages and wonderful female vocal arrangements with the tuned-down walls of darkish riffs and violent vocal passages or even compose dreamy melodies fit for an eternity, only to forcefully tear them down. A beguiling yet heavy fusion of Doom and Gothic Metal.Alternative Rock Music CDs
