Warthur
Draconian perform a sort of bombastic gothic metal/doom metal hybrid (think a doomier Type O Negative, or a more flamboyant My Dying Bride), and on Arcane Rain Fell they've latched onto subject matter that provides a backdrop suitable for their theatrical style - namely, a Paradise Lost-esque tale of the fall of Lucifer from Heaven and the creation of Hell. It's not going to rewrite the rules of gothic metal or death/doom, but it's an engaging enough application of the style and worth a listen if you're not completely averse to the usual gothic and death/doom tropes (mix of growled and clean vocals, doomy riffs, you know the drill).
