Draconian
In Somnolent Ruin

The new album by Swedish gothic doom metal band Draconian, In Somnolent Ruin, is filled with sorrowful music built on crushing riffs, atmospheric melodies, and deeply emotional vocals, unfolding like a bleak yet beautiful meditation on grief and despair. The contrast between haunting clean singing and cavernous growls gives the record a powerful emotional weight. Immersive and devastating, it stands as one of the band’s most refined and emotionally resonant works. Hauntingly melancholic!

 


DRACONIAN - Lethe

An archon waits by the river The archon waits for me Watching myself dissolve I'm stuck inside this dream

It waits in shadows deep It's eyes are fixed on me I fall silent into the void Far from the mercy seat

And they call us sinners But we are the last believers They call us sinners

There's an archon by the river They've always preyed on me Even now life has left me Their current, my ceaseless tide

Oh God, I am drowning Another name without a memory This light is cruel and blinding Devoid of symmetry

And they call us sinners No, we're the last believers They call us sinners

Oh, shooting star Drown in me Drink Forget Repeat

Oh, shooting star

Oh, restless soul Drown in me Drink Forget Repeat
