Draconian is a Swedish band, formed in Säffle, Sweden in 1994. The band consists of Anders Jacobsson (vocals, writing), Johan Ericson (guitars, writing), Jerry Torstensson (drums, percussion), Daniel Arvidsson (guitars), Fredrik Johansson (bass), and Andreas Karlsson (keyboards, programming). They produce songs with atmospheric, melodic, and emotive characteristics.

In May of 1994, drummer and vocalist Johan Ericson, bassist and vocalist Jesper Stolpe and guitarist Andy Hindenäs assembled the band Kerberos, initially playing melodic with influences. Seven months later, lead vocalist and lyrics composer Anders Jacobsson joined the band, and its name changed to Draconian.

Their first demo — Shades of a Lost Moon — was recorded in October 1995, a week subsequent to their first live concert. The demo counted with flutist and vocalist Jessica Eriksson, keyboardist and vocalist Susanne Arvidsson and with a special participation of Andreas Haag on the introductory section of “My Nemesis”. The album was released in February, 1996. The band was then joined by guitatist Magnus Bergström.

No recording contract was obtained with Shades of a Lost Moon, so in early 1997 the band proceeded to record their second demo, entitled In Glorious Victory. The band, however, became discontent with the quality of the recording and discontinued the release.

    I'm still sad about the fact that Lisa left Draconian.

    Lethian Dreams is very emotional too, and Vibeke Stene has one of the most emotional voice I've ever heard...

    @Shemkiel, isn't the kind of comparison you're making a shallow contribution to the shoutbox? yeah, Draconian has incredible emotional power (why i love them) but each of the bands you're referring to is brilliant and doesn't necessarily aim for the emotional intensity as Draconian - although how anyone could suggest MDB lacks emotional power leaves me speechless...
