7 unusual facts about Lake of Tears


Greater Art

Greater Art is the first studio album by gothic metal band Lake of Tears.

Lake of Tears

The band broke up in 2000 amid creative differences, but reunited in late 2003, releasing the acclaimed album Black Brick Road.

This being the case, Brennare and Sahlgren retreated to the studio to record The Neonai, an electronica-influenced album relying on drum machines and uncharacteristically slick production values.

They were quick to realize that the brief hiatus had reinvigorated their collective spirits, and began to tentatively compose the material eventually released on their 2004 endeavor, Black Brick Road.

Although he played on Forever Autumn and every subsequent Lake of Tears album, often composing the majority of lead guitar riffs, Sahlgren was only formally accepted as a band member following the release of 2004's Black Brick Road.

1997 brought the release of the band's most popular studio effort until then, A Crimson Cosmos.

Raistlin Majere

The Swedish band Lake of Tears recorded a song called "Raistlin and the Rose" for its 1997 album Crimson Cosmos.
