Flowing Tears has the potential to become one of the bigger sensations in the Goth/Metal circle -- a radiant circle that's grown in leaps and bounds in recent years and become more receptive to the advent of female fronted vocals. Flowing Tears is sad and enchanting on their new "Serpentine" release, melancholy and often moody, they impress with their tight arrangements and contemplative and captivating textures that like their name, flow softly and purposefully.

Having toured with the likes of The Gathering and My Dying Bride, they're less a handful than either of the two, opting for simply constructed odes to pain, pleasure, duress and longing.

The title track and "The Marching Sane" vie for top spot on this twelve track musical soundscape bathed in midnight blue with the occasional florescent opulence implying a glimpse of hope amongst distress.
