Eternal Tears Of Sorrow – Children Of The Dark Waters (LP Vinyl)

Finnish melodic death metal has always rewarded patience, and Eternal Tears of Sorrow have been quietly perfecting their orchestral, emotionally devastating strain of it since the mid-1990s. "Children of the Dark Waters," originally released in 2009, finds the band at their most cinematic, weaving keyboards and layered harmonics through the kind of Nordic melancholy that feels genuinely earned rather than performed.
