Title: Draconian Times (25th Anniversary Edition)
Artist/Band: PARADISE LOST
Country: UK
Release date: 04/12/2020
Company: Music For Nations
Style: Gothic/Doom Metal, Heavy Metal
The long-awaited re-issue of the much adored, “Draconian Times”. Available lovingly pressed onto heavyweight audiophile approved vinyl, housed in a gatefold artwork sleeve, and presented on select and limited vinyl variants. The special 25th anniversary edition also sees the vaults opened to provide a deluxe CD version that comes with a definitive disc of bonus, rare and unreleased material from the Draconian Times era. Furnished with new liner notes, never seen before deep dive into the album’s lyrical themes, and exclusive memories from PARADISE LOST. From the main cd I like all tracks because this album is a really diamond! The bonus disc contains 4 BBC Live Session tracks, 8 demo tracks and 1 cover track. From bonus I like all 4 BBC Live Session tracks (“Shadowkings”, “Sweetness”, “Once Solemn”, “Yearn For Change”), demo track “The Last Time” for just historical reasons, and the cover of “Walk Away” (THE SISTERS OF MERCY). A must for PARADISE LOST fans and all fans of this style of metal!
