My daughter's name is Sofia (Brazil), and since 2001 i had a band called "Draconi", a name inspired by the Paradise Lost album Draconian Times...law of attraction maybe. "Sorrow of Sophia" is beatiful. Congratulations, Draconian!
a real fan like me i started listening to draconian albums that existed since before i was born and still listening how good this girl sing until 2022 this singer is the ultimate goddess in our gothic universe that's why i love this band so much how good this band is
Sophia is forgiven The mother of our prison Sophia is glistening Always weeping for the world She's apprehension And her eyes torn by guilt And we have these souls And through her we are ascension The grandeur of stillness And all of her sadness As lives cry out in torment You are the everlasting sun From the spark of countless eons You are weeping for the world And we sleep with the tides where we were lulled into matter Holding the burden of time And we wake in the midst of a world about to shatter Shedding the burden of time And from my window I saw the darkness ignite And a goddess concealed in shadow Seducing the stars and the flaming Gaia I came here from the waters to invoke The spirit within you I came to remind you But you are lost in a sea of dark Sophia is forgiven The mother of our prison She's stuck in deafening winds The whispering in the fields, in the trees and stone The sorrow and the guilt It broke through the spheres and fed the demons inside And we sleep with the tides where we were lulled into matter Holding the burden of time And we wake in the midst of a world about to shatter Shedding the burden of time
Draconian is not just a band, it's a spiritual metal band. Every work of them is faced by the creators with humility and for me that's their secret for being an all time classic metal band that endured through time. Thank you Draconian for sharing with us all these decades your unbounded talent, it is really rare in nowdays and more needed than ever before. Respect from Hellas \m/
Draconian - you remind me days long gone. My first time with Theatre, Tristania... This music is wonderfull but also painfull - time is passing and will never return...
The more i listen to this song, i feel that the goddess Sophia is is the personification of all our depression, sorrows, grief, sadness, and deep inner emotions. Anders Jacobsson's vocals speaks out as the person experiencing these emotions. "She is the mother of our prison." The mother who has given birth to those emotions we bear. The prison is all of those emotions we bear that keep us feeling like we are trapped. It becomes a burden yet all the pain of it is what gives us strength and purpose to live on. It never goes away and is something we will eventually have to accept. We even forgive Sophia and because we have a reason for those feelings, The pain of it all becomes so loud and deafening on the inside, but it whispers outside and we can hardly catch the attention of others. However we eventual feed the demons and give into our sins until we can comprehend and understand her. Sophia is ultimately what we see through all our pain and everything we go through. Then we can finally learn to have absolution in the end. After all, I am very impressed with how this band has transformed over the decades and being my number one since middle school. They have always kept that melancholic vibe and deep atmosphere to their music while staying fresh, improving, and adding something new. The vocals in this song are top notch. This is the one band i will never turn away from despite all the times I've been through because it has always been there like my significant other. Something i can never turn away from and reflect upon.
@@Ζήνων-ζ1ι Then you tell me what she's about besides what others perceive her to be. Everyone goes through different things, and Sophia has much to do with wisdom and self discovery. At least that is how I see it.
@@noxiousdan2311 Look up gnosticism, Sophia and the Demiurge, also the book Pistis Sophia. They are talking an actual physical prison that is the physical world ('Lulled into matter"), and that it is an actual living being, and our universe resides inside that being, created by Sophia (hence 'The mother of the prison")
@@osmmanipadmehum Exactly. This notion of (Sophia's) imprisonment comes from the same condition that humans suffer: we (like Sophia) can't escape from the limitations of the sensible existence; like her, we were 'lulled into matter' too...
@@vashsan71 there are no accidents and coincidences i followed same path -i have to mention WALK IN DARKNESS another fantastic imaginative progressive doom metal band from italy -yes they all seem to harken back to Aleah vocals very understandable as they liveD in same lands ...Heike does numerous music projects so dont forget to look it all up i even have LIGHT FIELD REVERIE !! HEIKE IS A GODDESS FITTING PERSONIFICATION here the magnitude of this video is bigger than mere words could muster -i think they did something here that actually opens doors in your brain it does mine i think this is one of the most important videos all-time for me i feel the pain and suffering i feel sophia i know i am just a speck of dust flying around her but it is a joyous gloom-destined ascsension into the godhead or the motherhead eternal flight ...
This song is indescribable. .... this track it's like a voice of nature, space or God or something like this... voice of matter, something overwhelming, something big, powerfull, and that"something" cry and whisper prayer to our ears. Oh my... pure beauty. Art.
I love this song ! I love hear this song especially in cloudy and rainy days while I look through the window ! This is very relaxing and allows you to reflect.
It's a show of appreciation for such a masterpiece. It is not often when I am moved to tears by a song. But it most certainly remains in my memory forever when I am. This is definitely one of those songs.
Because this is the song of the soul. The ego realizes the disconnection from the serenity that once was because it reached too far beyond the veil...or it could just be feelings and shit
How come Draconian never fails to amaze listeners with their tunes? When music exceeds the art of itself, it's capable of transcending time and evoke emotions deep within... it's truly remarkable
According to the gnostic mythos presented here so far, Sophia “fell” from the pleroma (the “light land” as it is referred to in the Pistis Sophia) and became imprisoned in this “aeon” or local dimensional reality, by the demiurge and lead archon called, Yaldabaoth who, it is told, stole her divine light.
Their music is the occult , I have learned a lot from it in hearing the lyrics and doing research. I really enjoy it I find myself drawn to it as all things occult !
Been listening to the song on repeat today and simply can't get enough. Everything about it is beyond beautiful! No use going into all the minutia, since basically the entire song is pure perfection. The only thing I don't like about it is that it has an end, but then I can just play it all over again. ;) I truly can't wait for the full album to be released. I know it will be magnificent.
Yes i coulnt agree more. I think in the end, the voice of Heike would have fit perfectly with the ethereal guitar.it would have creat a gréât atmosphère
Heike is so Goth i feel blessed when i hear those fem VOiCes playing trough my head,it feels like I've been to church after every song,DRACONIAN RULES!!
I've never have listened Draconian before.. but after listening to "A Rose For The Apocalypse" album, I just couldn't stop anymore, I've already listened to the whole discography and this album (Under a Godless Veil) is amazing.. and this song is something out of this world... Melancholic, sad and melodic.
Draconian a band can penetrate the soul with incredible ease. And that is the key for a band to be highlighted. I love Draconian and I will be forever grateful that you exist.
Conocí a esta banda con su álbum "Sovran". Inmediatamente busqué y escuché sus anteriores trabajos: obras maestras de principio a fin. Esperaré este álbum y los que vengan.
This is a kind of music that everything that you listen just after become a shit, this is a masterpiece..a kind of song that just touch your soul... awesome.. it's comforting how we still have incredible artists around there
Draconian never misses. It is the best band in the world in this style. And this song ..., very appropriate to the time in which we are living. Masterpiece.
This kind of music are reminds me to late 90's and early 00's when i discovered bands like Within Temptation ,Tristania,Dismal Euphony,After Forever, Theater of Tragedy or The Sins of thy beloved , some of those bands now are disbanded or faded into nowhere
Muito show...... Para mim é na melhor banda de Doom metal que conheço...... As letras possuem um fundamento...... Parabéns a Banda.... E na espera do novo álbum......
Concordo completamente com você. Normalmente não gosto desse tipo de música, mas essa banda sabe como criar algo com delicadeza e ferocidade. Esse equilíbrio nas músicas deles faz toda diferença ;)
Oh, mein dunkler Lord, das ist einfach wunderschön! Wandel durch hellsten Tag und tiefer Nacht. Schwarze Hoffnung und tiefer Schmerz, nichts lässt mich verblassen! Dieser Song trägt mich, von Rand zu Rand! Von Süß bis bitter, werde wegen dir Leben. Glaube an das eine gute Lied, eigens aus deiner Hand!
Every piece of this masterpiece reminded me of Draconian's last Albums and I cherish every single moment of it. Been here since Arcane Rain Fell and you still surprise me. Really the best of all...
Impressionante como Draconian não desaponta, depois do excelente Sovran, vem aí mais uma obra de arte. Uma banda incrível tanto em sonoridade quanto em letras
I've followed Natalia Drepina's work for years now, one of my favourite artists to this day, and now she and Draconian made a masterpiece together! The song is beautiful and Natalia's work is complimenting it in the most wonderful way!
I just read "Natalia Drepina" in the description. Her work I see on Deviantart is breathtaking. She and one of the best gothic doom metal bands? I'm gonna melt....
"Lulled into matter" Heavy concepts condensed into a beautiful composition. I'd like to try and find that McKenna talk that sparked the creation of this song. The Gnostic story is something I've been circling around but have yet to really dive into.
Such a beautiful song and album. This song brings me to tears every time I hear it with the emotion and passion released in such a piece. To say the least, I feel like I can connect to this on an emotional, or maybe more, as a spiritual level of forgiveness. The quote at the beginning is perfect. Now that I'm taking a humanities class makes me want to share this even more than simply playing a song to share. It has become more in depth with the meaning of the lyrics every time I hear it.
I can't describe how much i feel while i'm listening to this masterpiece! This track looks like Ison tracks, actually, i like the atmosphere and the lyrics so much! Greeting from Egypt! ❤
It's crazy to have a band that releases such consistent music without getting far from their original sound and style! Can't wait for the album release!
Bellos los amo su musica me transporta a lo mas profundo de mi alma...fanatica Argentina q se me pone la piel de gallina al escucharlos....Este tema wow !¡¡Una pieza maestra....ansiosa x el resto...
When sadness becomes art! 🖤 Simply beautiful, the lyrics are so powerful, full of immense melancholy and the music plays an important role in accompanying that pain! And Heike's soulful, soft voice blends perfectly with Anders' heartbreaking voice! All beautifully brought to the visual with a minimalist but powerful video! 👏🏻
have you heard aleahs voice along with the old dracs ? - Heike is really the best choice nowadays but if aleah would be still alive … SRY man … no Chance !
@@s.k.9359 Aleah was in Swallow the Sun and Trees of Eternity, but in Draconian? You probably mean Lisa Johansson who did the female vocals from 2001 until 2011
Draconian is a band that has that air of relaxing sadness, mixed with darkness and loneliness, it is a mixture that is very difficult to overcome, everything I have heard from them transmits the same feelings to me
this band everytime I listen to still impresses me by his highly knowledgeable and deep lyrics ,charming gothic doom and unique vocals. Keep going draconian I'm sure u people have more and more ..
and what??? will you sacrifice yoursefl , for others, then??? will you finally be a good person, not an eghoistic fuck, as we all are!!! my words exactly!
Sophia es perdonada La madre de nuestra prisión Sophia resplandece Siempre llorando por el mundo Ella es aprensión Y sus ojos desgarrados por la culpa Y tenemos estas almas Y a través de ella somos ascensión La grandeza de la quietud Y toda su tristeza Mientras las vidas gritan atormentadas Tú eres el sol eterno De la chispa de incontables eones Lloras por el mundo Y nosotros dormimos con las mareas donde nos arrulló la materia Sosteniendo la carga del tiempo Y nos despertamos en medio de un mundo a punto de romperse Despojándonos del peso del tiempo Y desde mi ventana vi la oscuridad encenderse Y una diosa oculta en la sombra Seduciendo a las estrellas y a la llameante Gaia Vine aquí desde las aguas para invocar El espíritu dentro de ti Vine a recordarte Pero estás perdida en un mar de oscuridad Sophia está perdonada La madre de nuestra prisión Está atrapada en vientos ensordecedores El susurro en los campos, en los árboles y la piedra La pena y la culpa Rompió las esferas y alimentó los demonios interiores Y dormimos con las mareas donde nos arrulló la materia Sosteniendo la carga del tiempo Y despertamos en medio de un mundo a punto de hacerse añicos Despojándonos de la carga del tiempo.
this is beyond greatness and into something from the gods no less my spirit soars listening to the words -i think i have listened to stellar tombs so many times it flows in my blood .....when you see the lyrics videos it takes this over the top because its hard to catch their words this solves that and takes you to the stars .....pretty much main music i listen to now life-changing for me
I've got no words to describe the way this song will resonate with me it is a beautiful melancholy ensemble of music , singing , lyrics and song arrangement a work of art with instruments and voices a true joy to listen to heart wrenching and profoundly deep feeling is eminent throughout this wonderful song - the bit at 4.00m is so beautiful and heart wrenching ...
holy shit... holy shit... THIS IS THE DOOM METAL I GREW UP WITH i love the fact this band never called it quits they are so amazing ive been listening to them for so many years. This song is just amazing though this feels like old draconian.
Love from France, Draconian. Dylath Leen my mates (i grown up in the same town and met them when i was 20 years old) made me discover you something like 20 years ago, and you both are still in my heart.
The singer reminds me of like Sharon den Adel in the old within temptation gothic doom era, like the album Pearls of Light while the music is very much Draconian. Beautiful song!
Oh I'm late, as a guy that loves Katatonia, My Dying Bride, Mourning Beloveth, Virgin Black, Morphia, Shape of Despair, Novembers Doom, and I am discovering it now? I was a Doom/Death guy in the past, today I listen sometimes, but still listen, now I consider myself a Post-Rock guy because I read while I listen to music. I consider Post-Rock and Doom/Death cousins, I think the influence of Doom/Death on Post-Rock is really high in bands like: April Rain, Baulta, Balmorhea, God Is An Astronaut, If These Trees Could Talk, Meniscus, Jakob, Tides From Nebula, Collapse Under The Empire etc. :) But it's just a matter of opinion, I didn't do any research about it. I don't know every time I saw written "Draconian" I thought: "I know it, it's Serenia", I don't know why I did that association in the past.
The first bands you mentioned used to be on my everyday playlist as well. The post rock ones I need to check out. Whoever listens to Draconian has valid tastes in my opinion. Thanks
@@necurrence1776 Check out If These Trees Could Talk, Tides From Nebula, Besides, Collapse Under The Empire, I confess that If These Trees Could Talk is my favorite one, their album "Solstice" is pure Doom/Death. Theses I'm talking now is more closer to Doom/Death. I'm still listen to Katatonia every week, it's my favorite band, their prog drums are amazing. "Lethean", "My Twin" etc. That's why Rick Miah from MDB was my favorite drummer, he was a progressive drummer. I known Katatonia created a new music genre but still is a child of Doom.
Thank you guys. I’ve been listening to Draconian since a very long time and still I love you just the same. Saw you playing DBE 2011, that was unforgettable. Italy January 19 was a bit of a short set but I’m longing to see you again. Horns and cries to you!
LULLED INTO MATTER. This is precious and full understanding that is no separation between the object and the subject, in essence we are all one. Sophia is the supreme trascendent knowledge.
Desde que tenía 15 años son mi banda #1 Y ahora que doblo esa edad, agradezco nunca haberles perdido la pista ni el gusto, son como el vino indudablemente.
This is a absolutely masterpiece...Heike voice is beautiful..reminds me Aleah Stanbridge from Trees of eternity..Music is absolutely perfect..It´s connection of beautiful melancholy Trees of Etermity and raw music from Saturnus.. EXCELLENT...
HOW? I mean HOW? Can a band continue to craft the most upper echelon of musical artistry ..? This is beyond any labeled metal genre, this is the purest form of talent and gift. The voice of Heike Langhans is not only ghostly divine but one of the best I have ever heard. I am wondering if the "Sophia" references from "lustrous heart" and this poetic gem relate to the Greek belief of Platonism. I do know, anyway. October 30th will be special day indeed. Far away though..shit!
Its actually referencing something entirely different, namely Gnosticism. It had Platonic influences, but it rejected the material world entirely as evil and a prison created by the Demiurge. In several traditions, she was either responsible for the Demiurge's creation of the physical world and/or the putting of the Souls into the unsouled physical bodies that the Demiurge created, taking from the higher realm of the Pleroma around the material world. The ultimate goal of Gnosticism was to shed one's entrapment within the physical world, and return to the Pleroma from whence our souls came.
Heike Langhans (born Feb 9th, 1988) Active since 2005, Heike Langhans is a singer/songwriter mostly associated with the dark electronic project :LOR3L3I:. Her vocals are known to be sorrowful and her music melancholic in nature. Though of German descent, she was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa. Currently resides in Sweden, where she joined Swedish doom metal band Draconian, to replace former singer, Lisa Johansson. --- Encyclopaedia Metallum
My daughter's name is Sofia (Brazil), and since 2001 i had a band called "Draconi", a name inspired by the Paradise Lost album Draconian Times...law of attraction maybe. "Sorrow of Sophia" is beatiful. Congratulations, Draconian!
Lindo!

Draconian in times, um disco perfeito...
Sophia is forgiven
The mother of our prison
Sophia is glistening
Always weeping for the world
She's apprehension
And her eyes torn by guilt
And we have these souls
And through her we are ascension
The grandeur of stillness
And all of her sadness
As lives cry out in torment
You are the everlasting sun
From the spark of countless eons
You are weeping for the world
And we sleep with the tides where we were lulled into matter
Holding the burden of time
And we wake in the midst of a world about to shatter
Shedding the burden of time
And from my window I saw the darkness ignite
And a goddess concealed in shadow
Seducing the stars and the flaming Gaia
I came here from the waters to invoke
The spirit within you
I came to remind you
But you are lost in a sea of dark
Sophia is forgiven
The mother of our prison
She's stuck in deafening winds
The whispering in the fields, in the trees and stone
The sorrow and the guilt
It broke through the spheres and fed the demons inside
And we sleep with the tides where we were lulled into matter
Holding the burden of time
And we wake in the midst of a world about to shatter
Shedding the burden of time
The beauty of this song is crippling, masterpiece.
😭😭😭
Totally. Moves me on every listen.
It just might be draconian.

This is not just music, this is art, a masterpiece.
and a rly good therapy

But music is art
This is M&S metal.
So you must like sleep Walker too! These two songs are masterpieces!
Draconian - you remind me days long gone. My first time with Theatre, Tristania... This music is wonderfull but also painfull - time is passing and will never return...
just tonight I listened to Aegis. you are right !
I was thinking the same exact thing! A genre that transformed and died quite quickly
I feel the same, I love this sadness, the Cure depresses me and I love their music as well, humans love pain.
Back then I only read an interview with Draconian, but never listened to them. Time to change now.
Tristania,theatre of tragedy,👌🔥👺👹👍🇲🇽🤟🖤🤫🤐👂🧠🤯💯
Draconian poetry and Natalia Drepina's art are the perfect match.

Πιστεύω πως είναι ίσως το καλύτερο τους κομμάτι.
Στοίχος, μουσική κ εικόνα..... Άψογα!!!!
Απλά ανατριχίλα.....
Essa música por si só já é uma obra prima, agora pra quem já entende um pouco de gnosticismo fica melhor ainda. Esse álbum é simplesmente incrível.

Gótico metal
This video deserves an Oscar for best photography
I can't describe how much i feel while i'm listening to this masterpiece! This track looks like Ison tracks, actually, i like the atmosphere and the lyrics so much! Greeting from Egypt! ❤
It's crazy to have a band that releases such consistent music without getting far from their original sound and style! Can't wait for the album release!
Mind blowing !!
Draconian never fail to disappoint. Fan since 2005 🖤 Heike's voice is just divine.
As much as I loved Lisa, Heiki was born to be with this Band. Her voice, and beauty sends chills through me. Not many singers can do that.
@@kurtludwig5214Shattered my heart to learn she left them, I will cherish Under a Godless Veil forever.
Thank you so much Draconian for this masterpiece. The world is blessed to have you. Immortal art.
I think everyone should slow down their day for 8 minutes and listen to what this song has to say. It's beautiful and powerful.
Finamente realizado, cada melodia, cada canto, todo te envuelve en un manto de gris melancolía... Saludos desde Perú.
Bellos los amo su musica me transporta a lo mas profundo de mi alma...fanatica Argentina q se me pone la piel de gallina al escucharlos....Este tema wow !¡¡Una pieza maestra....ansiosa x el resto...
Atmospheric, guitars amazing as always, Anders and Heike singing beautifully a story. Draconian
When sadness becomes art! 🖤 Simply beautiful, the lyrics are so powerful, full of immense melancholy and the music plays an important role in accompanying that pain! And Heike's soulful, soft voice blends perfectly with Anders' heartbreaking voice! All beautifully brought to the visual with a minimalist but powerful video! 👏🏻
Just beautiful. Draconian never fails with delivering us good music. Just loved!
This is the sandess of Sophia, her un pure thought, the lesser wave that created matter and left the divine mind.
Heike has been the best selection to sing on Draconian. (sorry for my English). She is perfect!!!
have you heard aleahs voice along with the old dracs ? - Heike is really the best choice nowadays but if aleah would be still alive … SRY man … no Chance !
@@s.k.9359 Aleah was in Swallow the Sun and Trees of Eternity, but in Draconian? You probably mean Lisa Johansson who did the female vocals from 2001 until 2011
@@unholydamnation loved Lisa, but Heiki, her voice is angelic to me
Draconian is a band that has that air of relaxing sadness, mixed with darkness and loneliness, it is a mixture that is very difficult to overcome, everything I have heard from them transmits the same feelings to me
Increíble canción. Draconian saben hacer canciones que emanan tal belleza que me hacen sentir que estoy en otro mundo.
Grandísimos
Te llevan a un increíble viaje...
this band everytime I listen to still impresses me by his highly knowledgeable and deep lyrics ,charming gothic doom and unique vocals. Keep going draconian I'm sure u people have more and more ..
Listen to this song twice with good headphones and your heart will be torn apart....
Listen to it on cd or Vinyl on a good system and it will be even more breathtaking than anything youtube could reproduce.
and what??? will you sacrifice yoursefl , for others, then??? will you finally be a good person, not an eghoistic fuck, as we all are!!! my words exactly!
Goosebumps, the last song was so short but this one is longer, Heike sounds better than ever.
The vocals and melodies are hauntingly beautiful. And now my heart and soul can't wait for the entire album entity! 🎶
This song has taken up four hours of my weekend so far,amazing song,probably my favourite of all time
Thank You Draconian! Cause I've been dead for years, drowned in all my tears
...
Have you forsaken me?
The transitions into Heike’s parts are superb. The composition, mix, lyrics on another level.
So heartrending... I love it. I can feel the depression in My chest and it's so beautiful. It's a perfect work. I have your cd.
The lyrics of this song reminded me of the poem Immortals by Hermann Hesse from his masterpiece Steppenwolf . Wonderful music.
Draconian is the only metal band that makes me cry. Damn
The acoustic version of HalfSleeper by Chelsea Wolf.. Hit me for six.....
This is so good. I've been following them for over ten years now from Louisiana. I wanna make it to Europe one day and see them live.
Божечки,в самое сердце 💔 Эта любовь длится на протяжении 14 лет !!!
Ну не 14 лет ,но с 2012 года я их слушаю,и не перестаю от них кайфовать.
их грустная и атмосферная магия никуда не делась
Классная группа,еще saturnus тоже не плохая,даже лучше
@@МишаКовальченко-д9с не лучше
@@МишаКовальченко-д9с тут тот случай когда лучше.хуже,не работает))))
Sombria, melancólica e poética! 🖤🖤🖤
Sophia es perdonada
La madre de nuestra prisión
Sophia resplandece
Siempre llorando por el mundo
Ella es aprensión
Y sus ojos desgarrados por la culpa
Y tenemos estas almas
Y a través de ella somos ascensión
La grandeza de la quietud
Y toda su tristeza
Mientras las vidas gritan atormentadas
Tú eres el sol eterno
De la chispa de incontables eones
Lloras por el mundo
Y nosotros dormimos con las mareas donde nos arrulló la materia
Sosteniendo la carga del tiempo
Y nos despertamos en medio de un mundo a punto de romperse
Despojándonos del peso del tiempo
Y desde mi ventana vi la oscuridad encenderse
Y una diosa oculta en la sombra
Seduciendo a las estrellas y a la llameante Gaia
Vine aquí desde las aguas para invocar
El espíritu dentro de ti
Vine a recordarte
Pero estás perdida en un mar de oscuridad
Sophia está perdonada
La madre de nuestra prisión
Está atrapada en vientos ensordecedores
El susurro en los campos, en los árboles y la piedra
La pena y la culpa
Rompió las esferas y alimentó los demonios interiores
Y dormimos con las mareas donde nos arrulló la materia
Sosteniendo la carga del tiempo
Y despertamos en medio de un mundo a punto de hacerse añicos
Despojándonos de la carga del tiempo.
Cuesta vivirla
🌠📶🌌📶❤Thanks❤Спасибо❤📶🌌📶🌠
this is beyond greatness and into something from the gods no less my spirit soars listening to the words -i think i have listened to stellar tombs so many times it flows in my blood .....when you see the lyrics videos it takes this over the top because its hard to catch their words this solves that and takes you to the stars .....pretty much main music i listen to now life-changing for me
Unleash the Archers and Draconian in one day, one to lift my spirit and the other to crush it to dust, what a time to be alive!
The perfect combination between the different voices, the atmospheric vibe then the hard one,
Just a masterpiece
Before the premiere: It will be a Masterpiece
After listening to the song: i have never been mistaken
I've got no words to describe the way this song will resonate with me it is a beautiful melancholy ensemble of music , singing , lyrics and song arrangement a work of art with instruments and voices a true joy to listen to heart wrenching and profoundly deep feeling is eminent throughout this wonderful song - the bit at 4.00m is so beautiful and heart wrenching ...
holy shit... holy shit... THIS IS THE DOOM METAL I GREW UP WITH i love the fact this band never called it quits they are so amazing ive been listening to them for so many years. This song is just amazing though this feels like old draconian.
This music have 8:11 minutes, and still not enough. I can't stop listening to this perfection
Heike’s & Anders’ voices go so well together. Both very talented artists. 🖤
Her voice is out of this world. And the melody is so beautiful, it makes me cry.
Morceau particulièrement réussi . Envoutant et triste à la fois. Superbe !!!!
this is beautiful, there is no one better than Draconian
@Nikita Kapernaumov Чувак, тебе надо в психушку.
Love from France, Draconian.
Dylath Leen my mates (i grown up in the same town and met them when i was 20 years old) made me discover you something like 20 years ago, and you both are still in my heart.
The singer reminds me of like Sharon den Adel in the old within temptation gothic doom era, like the album Pearls of Light while the music is very much Draconian. Beautiful song!
I also thought about Sharon. Beautiful voice
Yup.. I would love to see they sing together
@Nikita Kapernaumov Are you having a stroke?
@@pipegris pretty sure it's a troll, they are replying to everyone with stupid comments 🙄
This reminds me of The "Enter" album of Within Temptation, specifically the vocals
Oh I'm late, as a guy that loves Katatonia, My Dying Bride, Mourning Beloveth, Virgin Black, Morphia, Shape of Despair, Novembers Doom, and I am discovering it now?
I was a Doom/Death guy in the past, today I listen sometimes, but still listen, now I consider myself a Post-Rock guy because I read while I listen to music.
I consider Post-Rock and Doom/Death cousins, I think the influence of Doom/Death on Post-Rock is really high in bands like: April Rain, Baulta, Balmorhea, God Is An Astronaut, If These Trees Could Talk, Meniscus, Jakob, Tides From Nebula, Collapse Under The Empire etc. :) But it's just a matter of opinion, I didn't do any research about it.
I don't know every time I saw written "Draconian" I thought: "I know it, it's Serenia", I don't know why I did that association in the past.
The first bands you mentioned used to be on my everyday playlist as well. The post rock ones I need to check out. Whoever listens to Draconian has valid tastes in my opinion. Thanks
@@necurrence1776
Check out If These Trees Could Talk, Tides From Nebula, Besides, Collapse Under The Empire, I confess that If These Trees Could Talk is my favorite one, their album "Solstice" is pure Doom/Death. Theses I'm talking now is more closer to Doom/Death.
I'm still listen to Katatonia every week, it's my favorite band, their prog drums are amazing. "Lethean", "My Twin" etc.
That's why Rick Miah from MDB was my favorite drummer, he was a progressive drummer. I known Katatonia created a new music genre but still is a child of Doom.
Just one listen, and it feels like my heart weighs about 20 pounds heavier than before...This is absolutely Draconian.
Thank you guys. I’ve been listening to Draconian since a very long time and still I love you just the same. Saw you playing DBE 2011, that was unforgettable. Italy January 19 was a bit of a short set but I’m longing to see you again. Horns and cries to you!
Que cosa tan hermosa, los amo pero maaaal. Ya necesitamos el disco 💘
Now this what I am talking about right here those riffs is pure perfection
Draconian the band of my heart! The best doom ever!
Yes i agree, with that
Heiki's angelic voice, with Anders guttural. Chills everytime
But shape of despair is definitely up there 👆
I am listening to Draconian day and night !!! epic band.. epic voice.. no words..
LULLED INTO MATTER. This is precious and full understanding that is no separation between the object and the subject, in essence we are all one. Sophia is the supreme trascendent knowledge.
Amo tanto a Draconian... simplemente amo a Draconian..incomparables en su genero
Mucho gosto grande colo
Esta canción es una de sus obras maestras
Desde que tenía 15 años son mi banda #1 Y ahora que doblo esa edad, agradezco nunca haberles perdido la pista ni el gusto, son como el vino indudablemente.
This is a absolutely masterpiece...Heike voice is beautiful..reminds me Aleah Stanbridge from Trees of eternity..Music is absolutely perfect..It´s connection of beautiful melancholy Trees of Etermity and raw music from Saturnus.. EXCELLENT...
If you ask me in 50 years who my all time favorite band is, it will be Draconian.
Living has always been painful, but you have to live and hope. This is it...
HOW? I mean HOW? Can a band continue to craft the most upper echelon of musical artistry ..? This is beyond any labeled metal genre, this is the purest form of talent and gift. The voice of Heike Langhans is not only ghostly divine but one of the best I have ever heard.
I am wondering if the "Sophia" references from "lustrous heart" and this poetic gem relate to the Greek belief of Platonism. I do know, anyway. October 30th will be special day indeed. Far away though..shit!
Its actually referencing something entirely different, namely Gnosticism. It had Platonic influences, but it rejected the material world entirely as evil and a prison created by the Demiurge. In several traditions, she was either responsible for the Demiurge's creation of the physical world and/or the putting of the Souls into the unsouled physical bodies that the Demiurge created, taking from the higher realm of the Pleroma around the material world. The ultimate goal of Gnosticism was to shed one's entrapment within the physical world, and return to the Pleroma from whence our souls came.
Heike Langhans (born Feb 9th, 1988) Active since 2005, Heike Langhans is a singer/songwriter mostly associated with the dark electronic project :LOR3L3I:. Her vocals are known to be sorrowful and her music melancholic in nature. Though of German descent, she was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa. Currently resides in Sweden, where she joined Swedish doom metal band Draconian, to replace former singer, Lisa Johansson.
