The band name is already in use (the official Suede follower for example has the same name…); the cover artwork drips of Gothic clichés and the thin productions might frighten people off.
But fortunately, Fallen Certainty doesn’t emerge as bad as expected. TEARS deal with Gothic Rock just marginally, since their songs are settled more in progressive fields. They are diversified, versatile and pretty quiet. Instead of cinema-pathos a lá Nightwish songs work much more subtle, underlaid by many keyboard lines and synthesized strings. Now and then acoustic guitars break thru the wall of fat e-guitars.
Ok, songs are not made to get stuck in your ears and the powerless production makes every run to something exhausting. Same for the singing, but it suits well to the songs. Though, with Fallen Certainty Greek-based TEARS deliver a well-done demo. But I guess, it won’t be an easy task to find the right listeners… Might be an advantage though…
