	::.. Metal Monk UK ..:: - Album of the Month: DRACONIAN - Arcane Rain Fell
		Draconian’s previous release “Where Lovers Mourn” (also their first official debut via Napalm Records) showed lots of promise — but was nonetheless a bit of a mixed bag.
		For a band having been on the scene for some years, and having several demos floating around of exceedingly high quality, the finished result on their first release was a little too “polished” for my liking.
		The female vocals rather wisely take more of a backseat role this time round, allowing for the powerful vocals of Anders to be far more prominent, with the sweetly elegant tones of Lisa Johansson complimenting the sound beautifully, rather than saturating it.

	arcane rain fell by draconian - review at soundchecks.co.uk
		Slow, despondent, and gothic are words that come close to describing the tapestry of music the band weaves, although none of these words, or any amalgamation thereof, can truly capture the essence of this band's unique sound.
		Draconian's blend of monstrous guitar riffs with softer passages (as well as poetic interludes) is powerful emotionally and is sure to move even the most jaded of listeners.
		The bass reverberates in the background, as do the keyboards, and as the song progresses the band shifts the pace back and forth, going from catchier, almost darkwave-influenced interludes to harsher, death metal-driven intervals.

		The draconians live in a world where they are pretty much hated by everyone, and the only thing these particular draconians want is a place of their own so they can live in peace.
		How strange the minds of those from the opposite sex are: Both the females and the males are getting confused as the differences between the sexes grows along with the females, and adding to their confusion is the fact, that the entire race knows nothing about love.

	Draconian - Arcane Rain Fell
		Somehow I missed out on Draconian’s debut album “Where Lovers Mourn”, which is surprising considering just how much this band fits into my taste classifications.
		There is definitely an obvious similarity to My Dying Bride and Novembers Doom in Draconian’s music, but that can only be a good thing in my book, and it’s not distractingly so.
		Draconian is not an unique band, buy they’re by all means not a bad band either.

		Amnesty International is shocked by the news that the Vietnamese government, in a decision signed by the Prime Minister on 5 January, has made the reporting and dissemination of statistics on the use of the death penalty a state secret.
		"Hiding behind draconian decrees protecting so-called 'state secrets', the Vietnamese authorities are flouting international human rights standards and basic rights surrounding freedom of expression and freedom of access to information," the organization said today.
		Amnesty International is opposed to the death penalty worldwide and regards it as the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment and a breach of the right to life.

		It is clear from first listening to this masterpiece that Draconian owe an obvious debt to My Dying Bride.
		From the opening sounds of rain and thunder and the painful, wailing guitar sequences, you would be forgiven for thinking that this is the latest release from the English grand masters of doom metal.

	Metal Reviews - Metal Coven Webzine - Metal Reviews - Draconian - Where Lovers Mourn
		It's a little odd that this is regarded as a debut for Draconian, since the band formed originally in 1994.
		Countless demos and one unreleased, poorly produced full length was all the band had to show after 9 years, but the rewards shown through the songs on this record are worth it.
		Overall, I suppose Draconian sound like a doomier version of labelmates, Tristania, yet remain unique in a genre that has seen so many imitators pop up in the past few years.

	Drug Laws - The Jurisprudence of the Illegal Drug Laws and Why the Draconian Penalties?
		(5) The incredible fact no politician will justify their draconian penalties for drugs, safer in all respects, including hangovers, than the Queen's Honours drug, alcohol, as if it is a priori obvious that no justification for those penalties is needed.
		To cut the Gordian knot of the evil and cruelty that results from the present drug laws, the public should be told the pharmacological truth about the opiates for a change.
		The reason for the draconian laws is not pharmacological, but the religious authoritarian puritanism which emerged during the Christian Temperance movements of the 1850s onwards.
