DRACONIAN - The Burning Halo CD

I've been exploring a lot of doom/death lately and I suppose that it was only really a matter of time until I came across Draconian. The Burning Halo is without a doubt a masterpiece, there's really no disputing that. It has this ability to channel emotion in a way that I just didn't think was possible before listening to it. It's a skill that so many bands attempt to showcase, but only a very, very small minority pull it off to the level that Draconian do. The way everything blends together so finely to craft the music you'll find here demonstrates exactly how gothic music should be played.
