Lake Of Tears is back with their third studio album, their first stroll down to mellower fields and their first approach out of the Doom into the Gothic area. A Crimson Cosmos is a fantastic album full of magical stories and fairy tales, the artwork and the inside booklet are really dreamy, each song has an extraordinary drawing reminiscent of a child tales book.

The opener "Boogie Bubble" is a weird song, I think this song was one of the first "commercial" attempts of the band, but worry not, is a nice song , maybe not the best opener in the world, but still listenable,
"Cosmic Weed" (really weird title) is another strange song, at this time I'm having a hard time trying to understand this album, but still, I'm on track 2, let's move on. "When My Sun Comes Down" is a more slow-tempo, doomy and melancholic song, you know, like the old times.

We spice things up when a quick piano announces the arrival of "Devil's Dinner" a fantastic up-tempo song, with a catchy chorus and great overall sounding, this song is like a predecessor of what they were trying to do in the next album.
The album also contains an instrumental song "To Die Is To Wake" .

The album closes with 3 amazing songs, "Lady Rosenred" a great duet between Daniel Brennare and Jennie Tebler ; "Raistlin And The Rose" definitively my favorite song of the album, melancholic piece inspired on Raistlin the wizard of Dragonlance books; and the title song "A Crimson Cosmos" great chorus and amazing acoustic moments in this one!

We have a excellent release by these guys, this album won't disappoint fans of the band, Gothic melancholic cheerful tunes, that's the best way I came up to describe this album, so, if you're fan of mellower Metal, get this one immediately, because this one is already a classic.
