Where Lovers Mourn is the debut studio album by Swedish gothic metal band Draconian. The album was released through Napalm Records on 20 October 2003. It was recorded and produced at Studio Mega by Chris Silver and Draconian in June 2003.
Most of the songs in this album are new and enhanced versions for songs Draconian had previously written for its demos and EPs, mainly for "Dark Oceans We Cry" and "Frozen Features".
The first song, "The Cry of Silence", is the longest on the album, and features a choir, along with Anders' growlings (main singing style), speech and Lisa's vocals. It describes a misanthropic man who wishes to live away from all others and "die in silence", a theme which is also present in "The Solitude".
