CoC : Lake of Tears - Lady Rosenred : Review

Lake of Tears - _Lady Rosenred_
(Black Mark, 1997)
by: Adrian Bromley (7 out of 10)

As the melodic/doom metal band Lake of Tears has evolved over the last few years with two previous records (_Headstones_ and _Greater Art_), it seems as though the band decides more and more to make their music take on multiple personalities, rather than gearing towards a certain genre of music. Case in point: _Lady Rosenred_ EP. Each song on this three-song offering (a release issued before the forthcoming third LP, _A Crimson Cosmos_) is different from one another, as the band explores duo singing arrangements on the title track, a dance/techno metal feel on "Devil's Dinner" and the Pink Floyd-esque song "A Crimson Cosmos". Much like the experimental ways of Cathedral's _Hopkins: The Witchfinder General_ EP, this release just goes to show that Lake of Tears feels the need to search out and find new ideas to bring to their music. It also shows that they enjoy playing those creations too.
