This band is so underrated. Other doom bands might have more media presence, but that doesn't mean that this band isn't killing it. I wish My Dying Bride sounded like this often.

[@konobuzoggu239]

but on the other hand, i feel like being less known might even work in their favor, probably less pressure from Napalm and more freedom as compared to the bigger names that has to sell x amount each time

You are the star You are the moon You are the soil where shadows bloom Casting a light which brings me peace Where the caverns of death will freeze Speaking to you Draconian

[@raktor1996]

Your comment brings light to that while the music is excellent, the lyrics pale in comparison to older ablums IMO.

[@yibril17]

​@@raktor1996 Not really... While this one is short, be told that this seems to be a concept album. However, the lyrics are already able to carry its own mean. While almost always embedded in metaphysics and classical literature topics, their lyrics have become more multilayered and nuanced, which brings more levels of meanings and ideas. Actually, now they are more skillful, lyrics-wise. Go and listen (and read) carefully Dishearten for example: a short story, where singers' roles get switched on the last part, like in a plot twist! Or Pale Tortured Blue, which also has "a revelation moment" (it's like an "upgraded" version of Not Breathing).

[@raktor1996]

@@yibril17 When I said older albums i meant Sovran too. It is this song in particular that I don't like the lyrics of, it doesn't have any coherence in my opinion. Maybe the complete album will be better.

[@yibril17]

@@raktor1996 Take this as a gentle advise: please don't get to conclusions or judgements whenever something isn´t understood... Instead be kind and humble to consider not being knowledgeable enough to "connect the dots". Therefore read, learn and get the references... use incomprehension as a motive to get into poetry, classic authors, old philosophers... I hate to do this, but I'll copy/paste what I answered to a comment from someone inquiring about the meaning of "bizantine hero". Copy/paste: Despite I think the song seems to be part of a concept album (see tracklist), some ideas/references are underlying here (quite a lot of them actually). In the deepest, it can be read as the never-ending fight between the life pulsion (non-rational) and the knowledge (rational), the heart being the former, and Sophia the latter. Knowledge brings self-conciousness, that in turn shows own finitude, and therefore sorrow. That´s when Sophia realises that ignorance was a bliss, and longs that innocence, finding the beauty in it (the heart). Knowledge "was born" from life pulsion ("before they made you"), but Sophia doesn´t realise ("before they made you to forget"). This is metaphysical: in order to live, human developed rational thinking, which then ended up in "why to live? what purpose?" This translates to "the forgetting" of that original purpose that knowledge was supposed to be serving: to live... Sophia (rational thinking/knowledge) fails to find an ultimate (evasive) purpose: the unknown (evasive) god. The heart, non-rational (life pulsion), is the one remembering Sophia of her failure: she's "a bizantine hero" (as opposed to a god) since she can´t escape from her limitations of the sensible existence ("you're not untouchable") yet the heart pushes her ("reach out and break the cosmic window").

[@painhatedark]

i misssssss old draconian so deeply.....

[@brnexus7475]

To those who rightly pointed out the similarities between Heike's vocals in this song to Leah's from Trees of Eternity. Heike and Aleah were friends. Heike actually was a guest vocalist for the band that was created after Trees of Eternity disbanded and all the lyrics were written by Aleah. Its pretty obvious Heike wanted to carry on her legacy in some way and I think that is a beautiful thing. Aleah was special and she will always be missed.

[@ariaq69]

I miss her too!

[@ArhBird]

Aleah's voice lives on in the voice of Heike, that's pure magic!

[@narceliosantos6005]

[@richardmetzler7909]

This has the same hypnotic, sad but consoling vibe that I loved about Sovran. Beautiful - looking forward to the album release!

[@failedcreation2]

While it is great to have a new Draconian song, releasing a "single" 6 months before the album release is pure torture.That said, Anders has THE best rough vox in the business.

[@KenoxProductions]

[@FvgDerwydd]

I've never had this amazing feeling since years. this brings me back to the 'best era' of metal. This song keeps giving me chills from the beginning to the end, wow. Such a masterpiece, one of the best songs i've ever heard in my entire life. I just love it so much, this is perfection in my opinion. So aggressive, deep, intense but at the same time so sweet, so doom, so melodic as i always loved. Heike and Anders voice, 10/10 as always. Love you Draconian, thank you seriously i'm so happy

My favorite thing about this song is I can't tell whether the clean vocals in the hook are threatening or calming. Which makes it all the more haunting.

[@VulgrimOfficial]

One of the two best Death/Doom Bands ever... Draconian and Swallow the Sun!!! Both enlightening! Only rivaled by the monstrous 😍Katatonia😍 in this genre!!! Waited 5 years, and love the hell out of it!

It's still consistent Draconian with new incredible vision and inspiration and I love you for being yourselves unwaveringly.

[@mauzlianeev2248]

Listening to this new song by Draconian, Heike Langhans has something of a style similar to Aleah, it is clear that Heike is very original, she also sings beautiful and she is also a very beautiful woman and this style of gothic music, doom and a little atmospheric will always remind us our dear Aleah too.

Huh, pretty rare to see someone who holds ARftA so highly and Sovran so low. Personally I'd put Sovran as my favourite album of theirs alongside Arcane Rain Fell and ARftA at the bottom, although Wall of Sighs is still one of the best tracks Draconian have put out. Still one of the few bands I can't think of a single bad song for however.
