LAKE OF TEARS „Forever Autumn”

What I really like in Harm is that it gives you the opportunity to read about older albums too. This is very good because if someone begins listening to heavy metal now, will have the chance to discover bands that are not “hot” nowadays. One of these bands is Lake Of Tears in my opinion. They were never considered as one of the great bands of their style but they still released some great albums like this one.

“Forever Autumn” belongs to the second era of the band. An era where they changed their style from melodic doom/death metal to more atmospheric rock that reminds of bands like Anathema and Amorphis. Actually, the major influence of the band in that era was Pink Floyd. Some excellent and also easy-listening songs are here. “Come Night I Reign”, “Otherwheres”, “So Fell Autumn Rain”, “The Homecoming” and “Pagan Wish” are my favourite tracks of “Forever Autumn”, although the album is quite consistently strong. Mid-tempo songs, many acoustic guitars and the clean vocals are the biggest differences of this release in comparison with the previous albums of Lake Of Tears. I have to point out the amazing melodies in every song that stick to your mind.

So, if you like atmospheric rock/metal and you need a break from the extreme sounds, Lake Of Tears is a good suggestion to you.
