Finally, after 10 years, the Swedish Dark Rock pioneers Lake Of Tears are back with a new studio album entitled “Ominous”. The album will be released on February 19th 2021, via AFM Records.
Winter is coming, and with it something ominous. The new release from Lake Of Tears is the perfect soundtrack for short, grey days and long, cold, dark nights. After nearly a decade of silence, Daniel Brennare, head and heart of the Swedish pioneers of dark music, finally reveals his sinister world of thought. Out of long years and intricate mathematics comes “Ominous”.
Rooted in illness and depression, in days of grey. These moments, burdensome and overwhelming, are dissected and then reassembled into a linear story. Interwoven in sound, word and vision, with thought out precision. Lasting no longer than a moment but holding for an eon. Reaching no further than the horizon but stretching out to the cosmos. Brennare creates his vision at the end of the world, starring the cosmonaut and the ominous brothers. He combines gothic rock with post-punk tunes, and quiet melancholic sounds that grow into powerful tracks, heavy and glutinous as liquid bitumen. Unhindered by the contemporary rules of form, Lake Of Tears present songs of unprecedented independence of mind.
Any attempt to put “Ominous” into words and genre is doomed to fail, but maybe one could describe the quintessence as the illegitimate child of a short liaison between David Bowies “Space oddity”, the Sisters Of Mercy and Pink Floyd, with a brief touch of doom.
Though it is danceable with its electronic goth beats, don’t be fooled. It will take you where you must go; to the end of the world. And with “In wait and in worries”, Lake Of Tears continues with an epic song immersed in a gloomy blackness.
The foreboding of a coming doom is embedded in the words of Daniel’s warm, fragile voice. “Ominous” was recorded and mixed in Studiomega in Sweden by Christian Silver and his team, and produced by Daniel Brennare.

With “At the Destination” Lake Of Tears released their first single-video a spacey, groovy and driven song that was written somewhere in the dark, cold and lonely orbit and fits perfectly into this dark season.
Daniel Brennare sends an ominous radio message to his listeners on the 1st single of the new album. Gloomy and drivingly underlaid by psychedelic, mysterious sounds narrating stories of an alien place.
The new release of Lake Of Tears is the perfect soundtrack for short, grey days and long, cold, dark nights. After nearly a decade of silence, Daniel Brennare, head and heart of the Swedish pioneers of dark music, finally reveals his sinister world of thought.
