You may be asking "What is the point of this review for Lake Of Sorrow now, when everybody has already heard of them, or because so many other different, or similar, music exists?" I'd say, because this album in particular, needs more attention on Metal Storm. While there are still many active Gothic bands out there, I believe there are rarely albums which come close to this one. Read more ›› |

One of the best (symphonic gothic) albums I've ever heard. An ultimate masterpiece.

Another Gothic Metal diamond. Too bad albums like this do not come out nowadays.

Magical record. Maybe the best violin work by Pete Johansen too.

This is the closest I ever found to early Tristania. It is a shame this genre has not many noteworthy bands... It is not as good as Tristania with Morten imho due to the lack of interesting melodies and the songwriting in general. They needed to add a slow first part in every song in order to make the second part good. But still I really enjoyed this, the atmosphere is right there. Highlights: 01. My Love 04. Lake Of Sorrow 05. Until The Dark 07. Silent Pain

Written by Desha on 02.01.2021 at 21:09 You're starting from a high level and your journey is at risk of becoming a very strenous trip, full of privation, maybe even a Trail Of Tears if you don't watch your step. Because in my opinion this is the peak of (symphonic) gothic metal, the only way back is downwards. The first two Sirenia albums and maybe also Tristania's debut are roughly comparable and (almost) on a par, but that's about it. Godspeed!

Written by Starvynth on 02.01.2021 at 23:23 yeah but I don't really look for an improvement, I kinda just wanna get more into it. And I'm not only talking about this symphonic variant, also something like Tiamat or even Funeral falls under the same kind of music to me and is what I'm gonna listen to more of. Thanks a lot of the recommendations, I'll check em out!

Written by Starvynth on 02.01.2021 at 23:53 another long gone mid 90's gothic, death doom band, what really should put out new album out, or put band to rest. I really miss the days when I did listen them.
