Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Draconian Times' is widely celebrated as a highly melodic, sweeping pinnacle of mid-90s gothic metal. Paradise Lost abandons their death metal origins entirely for passionate, clean vocals and heavy, atmospheric doom riffs that capture a deeply melancholic and pessimistic grandiosity.
