The band started out as \u201cKerberos\u201d\u00a0in 1994, founded by Johan Ericson (drums and vocals), Jesper Stolpe (bass<br \/>\n\u00a0 and\u00a0vocals) and Andy Hinden\u00e4s (guitar). They started as a death metal band,<br \/>\n\u00a0 quite melodic with black metal influences.<br \/>\n\u00a0 At the end of that same year Anders Jacobsson joined the band as lead vocalist<br \/>\n\u00a0 bringing his poetic skills with him. They changed the name in to Draconian. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 Since then it has been going up and downwards with the band. Problems with<br \/>\n\u00a0 recording demos, being discontented with the sound quality or simply aiming<br \/>\n\u00a0 for high standards. It had brought them a path full of obstacles but the band<br \/>\n\u00a0 kept going. Changing their sound into to a darker, slower and doomier sound.<br \/>\n\u00a0 They are about to release their fourth studio album \u201cTurning Seasons Within\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 When reading the album title I had to think about diferent emotions a person<br \/>\n\u00a0 can deal with &#8211; joy, sadness and anger, to mention a few. And that is exactly<br \/>\n\u00a0 what this album is about. The contrast between Lisa Johanssons female classic<br \/>\n\u00a0 voice and Anders Jacobsson&#8217;s growls take you on that level between relationships.<br \/>\n\u00a0 Love and failing love and how people deal with these kind of situations. The<br \/>\n\u00a0 poetic skills of Anders are shown in the lyrics and his reciting words are intense,<br \/>\n\u00a0 sad and powerful. You will really experience the created darkness and the fusion<br \/>\n\u00a0 of doom and gothic metal with a beautiful edge.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 Anders Jacobsson said about the personal lyrics: \u201cPain is a topic that<br \/>\n\u00a0 never grows old in musical themes. Some people seem to forget that love can<br \/>\n\u00a0 be the greatest hell you have to manage, while remaining vital to our existence.<br \/>\n\u00a0 In this way I think that our music fits these lyrics extremely well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 The album starts off with \u201cSeasons Apart,\u201d which is very beautiful<br \/>\n\u00a0 and takes the first melancholic step into the world of emotions. Lisa&#8217;s voice<br \/>\n\u00a0 greets you and sings: \u201ctake my hand, follow me\u201d and that is exactly<br \/>\n\u00a0 what you would like to do. \u201cEarthbound\u201d has nice rhythmic drumming<br \/>\n\u00a0 from Jerry Torstensson. The combination of Lisa&#8217;s angelic sound and the deep<br \/>\n\u00a0 growls of Anders combined with tuned-down walls of darkish riffs really work<br \/>\n\u00a0 out on this album. I definitely like the intro from \u201cThe Failure Epiphany,\u201d<br \/>\n\u00a0 which starts off acoustic to burst out in heavy passages, to return to the acoustic<br \/>\n\u00a0 parts. This gives a nice variation to the track, and maybe therefore it stands<br \/>\n\u00a0 out a bit more than the other songs. Another song that has a different approach<br \/>\n\u00a0 to the doomy, dreamy melancholic atmosphere is \u201cMorphine Cloud\u201d where<br \/>\n\u00a0 Anders recites his words at the beginning of the track. This all leads to romantic<br \/>\n\u00a0 passages combined with Anders&#8217; more violent screaming; thus creating a fusion<br \/>\n\u00a0 of doom and gothic metal. The album ends with \u201cSeptember Ashes&#8221;, again<br \/>\n\u00a0 Anders speaks out his words almost whispering accompanied with by piano and<br \/>\n\u00a0 the deep sad cello sound. A perfect method to end this CD in a dramatic way.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0 1 Seasons Apart<br \/>\n\u00a0 2 When I Wake<br \/>\n\u00a0 3 Earthbound<br \/>\n\u00a0 4 Not Breathing<br \/>\n\u00a0 5 The failure Epiphany<br \/>\n\u00a0 6 Morphine Cloud<br \/>\n\u00a0 7 Bloodflowers<br \/>\n\u00a0 8 The Empty Stare<br \/>\n\u00a0 9 September Ashes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Draconian Official<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Release date: 03-03-2008; Label: Napalm Records By: Elvira\u00a0Visser \u00a0 Draconian is a gothic doom metal band from Sweden.
