"Headstones" was the successor to the magnificent debut "Greater Art", released in 1995 and certified that these Swedes are ready for great things. Today, 28 years later, we could say that "Headstones" is an immortal album, one of the most important not only of Lake of Tears, but in the entire history of Doom Metal. Even though it's main body synthetically moves in doom paths carved by "Greater Art", "Headstones" has many more innovative features to the point that we would do their music an injustice by trying to categorize it under labels. Here in time is perhaps the pivotal point where the first nuggets of the sound that would follow in the next albums are recognized. Heavy & upbeat riffs alternate with acoustic melodies, pompous drums & passionate vocals, overwhelm the 9 tracks that exist in "Headstones".
Tracks: 1.1 A Foreign Road 1.2 Raven Land 1.3 Dreamdemons 1.4 Sweetwater 1.5 Life's But a Dream 1.6 Headstones 1.7 Twilight 1.8 Burn Fire Burn 1.9 The Path of the Gods (Upon the Highest Mountain, Part 2)
