2 stars Now definitively transformed into a solo project, Daniel Brennare released this new album called "Ominous" under the name of Lake of Tears.

If the previous and disappointing "Illwill" delved into the more metal sounds of the project, "Ominous" turns out to be much darker, with numerous passages that delve into doom metal and gothic metal, leaving even more aside psychedelia and influences from the 70s that made famous records like "Forever Autumn" and "The Neonai".

It's possible that being diagnosed with chronic leukemia influenced Brennare's mood at the time of writing the record and that's why it's so depressing, but what's clear is that it makes for difficult and oppressive listening. And this would not be bad, if it were not also very boring.

So I could only recommend this album to absolute fans of Daniel Brennare who can connect with the shadows cast by this "Ominous". Unfortunately, I haven't connected with this proposal, and I don't think I'll listen to this record again.

Best Tracks: At the Destination (recovers some of the style that made Lake of Tears famous) and Ominous One (the best song on the album, in the vein of what was "Illwill" and which partly recovers the rhythm and those good vocal melodies from the past)

My Rating: **

The Crow | 2/5 |
