Draconian Times is the fifth album released by British metal act Paradise Lost. Two tracks from the album, "The Last Time" and "Forever Failure," were released as singles and have music videos. This album was played in its entirety on the band's live album Draconian Times MMXI. The song How Soon is Now? is also on One Second. This album was released with Shades of God & Icon in a boxed set called Original Album Classics.[3] A song called "Another Desire", was written during this album's recording, but it was not released on this album nor the reissues. Instead, it was only released on the Forever Failure single. This is the only Paradise Lost album where Aedy, Edmonson & Morris receive some writing credits. Every other album ever has been written by MacKintosh & Holmes.
