Doom:vs,Tristania ,Trail of Tears ,Lethian Dreams, Saturnus,Silentium....these are some of my recomandations

I ddon't find Lethian Dreams, Saturnus and Doom:VS (although it has a draconian member in it, but imo is far better than Draconian) to have anything in common with Draconian.

Draconian is the best of all time ...... but there is a band I think nobody mention it " Wine from tears "

They're really such a great band

I would especially recommend this year's Forthcoming Displeasures. A grea piece of Gothic Doom and way bettr than anything Draconian have ever done.

Do not miss a chance to bash Draconian

Yes Marcel. Why are you trying to show Draconian a weak band?! I don't get it.
They're one of the best Gothic Doom bands ever, but you call any album of any band better than Draconian.

Can you tell me why?

Because I find Draconian horrendous to be honest. Well not every album is better than that of Draconian. I actually have a problem with most gothic doom bands.

I can change your post in this way:
Because I find Draconian horrendous to be honest. Well almost %99.99 of albums are better than that of Draconian. I actually have a problem with one of gothic doom bands called Draconian

Imo Saturnus don't play gothic doom and neither does doom: VS So from those posts it is only Helevorn and Lethian Dreams I find better than Draconian.

I really like Draconian, especially "Arcane Rain Fell", but I think there are a very nice bands in a similar vein, don't stop with Draconian! I also understand if you think Draconian is the best...

I strongly recommend a band from Turkey called Kathastrophobia ...i Think they are the best of Gothic/Doom Metal

Check those bands out:

Ava Inferi, Elegeion, Chalice, Sonata Nocturna, Even Vast, The Sins Of Thy Beloved, Depressed Mode is amazing too.

Draconian is unique
but you can try shape of despair,tristania,theatre of tragedy,wine from tears,katatonia,sirenia,mourning beloveth,doom:vs

In addition to what's been mentioned, look into The Sins of Thy Beloved, early Theatre of Tragedy, Dismal Euphony, Estatic Fear, early Lacrimas Profundere, Penumbra, and Trail of Tears. Also Shape of Despair if you can get into funeral doom. They're all great bands who use the whole "beauty and the beast" vocal style. I'd also look into Doom:VS (a project of Draconian's guitarist).

Thank you my friend.
I tried some of those bands before, like The Sins of Thy Beloved, Theatre of Tragedy etc.
But I'll try other bands.
Thank you again.

Will be checking those out. Anyone else know of any similar bands with a doomish/gothic "beauty and the beast" sound ? Also I'm listening to Rapture right now, sounds pretty close to what their latest album sounds like without the female vocals.

Some that may interest you:

Rise Of Avernus - L'appel du vide
Nox Aurea - Via Gnosis
Within Temptation - Enter
Via Mistica - Fallen Angels
Orkrist - Reginae Mysterium

You can also check out Beseech.

Where Lovers Rot is similar to Draconian
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEBTBxWgHhs

Somewhat doomy/gothic:

Darkwell (Suspiria album)
The Third And The Mortal (Sorrow and Tears laid in Earth)
Ophelia (Do Sympathy with your fantasy)
Todesbonden (Sleep now quiet forest)
Avrigus (The Final Wish and The Secret Kingdom)

I signed up for this topic, thank you all. I'm addicted of Draconian myself along with some other different genres but Draconian always on top, specially on track "Death, come near me". So far I listened to a song of Nox Aurea on youtube and getting the original lossless albums, really amazing. Now I'm listening to Tales Of Dark but seems too heavy compared with a lot of solo. Out of the suggestions of @Disgraced and @Behdad K. Thank you a LOT. Sadly these kind of bands don't do many new albums .

OK I moved to Ashes You Leave, too light and to noisy, not like Draconian imo unfortunately. On reddit and @Carrion Misery suggested Swallow the Sun and they are very good and much similar to Draconian, I might be addicted to this one too ! at least this what I felt about the song Cathedral Walls. Getting their albums now. On yahoo answers I found years answer mentions The Sins of Thy Beloved and it turns out very nice but not much like Draconian maybe I'll give it a shot later.

A random suggestion came by from @Fist of Death ti try Where Lovers Rot and while the female voice is fantastic and the band itself is kinda like Draconian not that much compared to other suggestions but this band is GREAT and forced itself to take my interest so thanks mare for suggesting this. btw the full album on youtube even better than the one you posted.

So what I'm getting so far are Nox Aurea, Swallow the Sun and Where Lovers Rot (Only demo album exists for them and fully on youtube).

Primordial lol, but that's just Doom, not much gothic I assume.

its not even a doom

A doom? )

I suggest doom vs , swallow the sun , slumber, shining(v-halmstad) , tiamat , saturnus. you can possibly like these to.

Try out my band Weeping Silence. Anders (Draconian's vocalist) himself is our guest vocalist in one of the Albums. If you like us please like us on Metal Storm. Check out our new Album - Opus IV Oblivion, and if you like it, please rate it on metal storm as well . Thanks

Check out Ocean Of Grief, from Greece. I suggest also the spaniards Evadne and of course the biggest melodic doom/death band of all (imo) Slumber
