Background information über 'Tears Laid In Earth'

What happens when Norwegian melancholy meets ethereal doom? The 3rd And The Mortal delivers the answer with "Tears Laid In Earth", their 1994 debut that stands as a towering monument to atmospheric metal. This isn't just another doom record – it's a haunting journey through landscapes both beautiful and desolate, where Kari Rueslåtten's angelic vocals float over crushing, deliberate riffs like mist over ancient fjords. The Trondheim outfit crafted something truly special here, blending the weight of doom with progressive elements and an almost gothic sensibility that feels both timeless and deeply rooted in Norwegian soil.

From the opening strains of "Vandring" to the closing embrace of "Oceana", this album unfolds like a Nordic winter – slow, inevitable, and breathtakingly gorgeous in its severity. Tracks like "Why So Lonely" and "Shaman" showcase the band's ability to build atmosphere through restraint, letting each note breathe and resonate. The interplay between crushing heaviness and delicate beauty creates moments of pure transcendence that few bands have ever achieved. This cassette reissue brings back a piece of metal history that influenced countless atmospheric and doom acts.

For fans of:
My Dying Bride, Theatre of Tragedy, Anathema, Paradise Lost, Katatonia
