It was in such a dense and impenetrable darkness that \u003cstrong\u003eLake of Tears\u003c\/strong\u003e must have been born.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd their debut album is immersed in this darkness. It was baptized \"\u003cstrong\u003eGreater Art\u003c\/strong\u003e\" and indeed the title sets the tone for what was to follow. Yes, it is a higher art, it was and is something different. Although there are influences from other Swedish bands of the time, such as Tiamat, or even death metal elements, what is certain is that their doom metal brought to the fore something new, fresh and completely innovative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe won't go into the process of choosing any songs, as we've said it before, \u003cstrong\u003eLake of Tears\u003c\/strong\u003e never included indifferent compositions on any album. However, we can't help but make a small exception when talking about the magnificent epic \"\u003cstrong\u003eUpon The Highest Mountain\u003c\/strong\u003e\", which in itself would be an excellent reason to purchase the album.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe are proud to release\u003cstrong\u003e Lake of Tears\u003c\/strong\u003e' debut on vinyl after 31 years. For the older generation to remember and the younger generation to discover. Because what these Swedes made here, three decades ago, stands as an immortal monument. Is it doom metal? Does it have death metal influences? Is it gothic metal? Yes, but it sounds a bit different...Who really cares?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was then that the magnificent prologue was written, becoming the beginning of everything that was to follow. And hold on... the epilogue hasn't been written yet...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54522884686209,"sku":"2708128","price":26.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0634240364525.jpg?v=1753528529","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2708128","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
