This is what we truly began the modern Gothic metal - with the fact that these tough guys from Yorkshire had broken the rules of textbook and in the process, created a style that has brought gloom to the metal-inspired, rather, a Gothic atmosphere, rather than scenes from a horror movie. The genius of the group was that they did not try to restrain their development and were aimed to reach the top ... that's only later could not do it to gain a foothold. But let us pass directly to the album. 2 years after the release of the album "Icon" the British have not stopped and released just a phenomenal album, recognized by most critics and fans the best in their entire musical history, and with this statement is hard to disagree. It's beautiful in everything from the cover, and ending the game music and the quality of the material ... but first things first. Immediately striking cover - a work of art, such a beautiful cover, I no longer met. In terms of playing technique musicians there is also a sin for something to complain about. Greg Mackintosh and Aaron Aedy his guitar passages bowl the listener over the waves gloom and depression, and Steve Edmondson, along with Lee Morris'om added his rhythm section of slowness and viscosity of this dark atmosphere. Well, triumphs over all of the above vocals Nick Holmes'a, which opened here at 100%, removing the growling, but leaving little porykivaniya in some compositions. He sings and clean vocals, and it turns out he has so cool that just takes over the soul and chills running through the skin. In addition, Nick has written for this opus brilliant lyrics with a lot of philosophical arguments - it will not shake your head at thrash metal, here we must include the brain and think about what he sings. With regard to the material, then, of course, songs like "Enchantment", "Hallowed Land", "The Last Time", "Forever Failure", "Once Solemn", "Shadowkings" and "Jaded" is incomparably the hits, but this better to listen to the whole album and not to provide some songs, and in this case, the atmosphere of gloom, sadness and depression you provided. "Draconian Times" can rightly be called a masterpiece for all times!Read full review
