The
gothic music scene in Finland and many other places in the world is exploding
today with countless new bands fighting over the attention of the fans. Lost
In Tears was formed in 1997 and have now signed a deal with Madrid based label
Locomotive Music. They have everything a gothic metal band is in need of - a
male vocalist with a dark Peter Steele voice, nice passionate melodies and
melancholic lyrics. There is one peculiar thing about this band though. They
actually have three guitarists which gives them a very thick sound that in
this case add even further to the melancholic nature of the music. The intro
is wonderfully simple and might as well have been done by My Dying Bride. Just
like most other gothic acts they fail to maintain my interest throughout the
whole album though and it's mostly the music that falls behind since the
vocals are very well done with a few occasional growls. A laid-back nice
soothing release that will caress some wounded souls in the world I suppose.
Finland is going strong in all directions at the moment and this is at least
more interesting than the post-Wolfheart releases from Moonspell. Stand-out
tracks: "Without You", "The Bleeding", "Beauty From The Past" (the
heaviest and most traditional metal sounding song on the
album).
