It then culminated in a tour finishing concert that every young metal fan of the 80’s and 90’s wanted to go to, let alone play – the last ever legendary Donington Monsters of Rock. Guitarist Aaron Aedy comments, “the Draconian Times era was the two amazing years of ’95 & ’96 which saw us touring South America and Japan for the first time and getting to play with Ozzy, THE SEX PISTOLS and more. Draconian Times went on to become PARADISE LOST’s most successful album to date and is often seen as their defining record.
