BIOGRAPHIE FRANCAISE
Flowing Tears est un groupe de metal gothique allemand créé en 1994 et originaire de Saarbrücken. C'est par son deuxième album, Joy Parade (1997), que Flowing Tears est parvenu à percer avec plus de force. Le passage d'un chanteur à une chanteuse n'est sans doute pas étranger au fait qu'on leur ait tendu l'oreille. Après le magnifique Serpentine (2002), quatrième opus de Flowing Tears, Stefanie Duchêne a quitté le groupe et a été remplacée par une nouvelle venue, Helen Vogt.

BIOGRAPHIE ANGLAISE
The band formed in 1994 under the moniker Flowing Tears & Withered Flowers. Under the first name, they released a demo called Bijou in 1995, two full-length albums: Swansongs in 1996 and Joy Parade in 1998, and an EP named Swallow in 1999.[1] On Swansongs, Manfred Bersin contributed the male vocals. After the EP's release, the band abridged their name to "Flowing Tears".
With the release of Serpentine in 2002, the band would build on the work they did with Jade, adding a slightly more up tempo and a less melancholy sound. After the release of Serpentine, Stefanie Duchêne left the band for personal reasons. The replacement vocalist became Helen Vogt, who still sings with the band. With a sound similar to that of Serpentine, and Vogt's vocal similarities with Stefanie Duchêne's vocals, the band released their 5th studio album, Razorbliss.
On October 20, 2004, just seven months after the release of "Razorbliss", two founding members of Flowing Tears, Björn Lorson and Cristian Zimmer (the first of which was still in the band's line-up at the time), died in a car accident.
October 2008 saw the release of Flowing Tears' sixth full-length album Thy Kingdom Gone. It is a concept album containing 12 songs, along with artwork made by Seth Siro Anton, an artist who has done artwork for Moonspell, Soilwork, and Paradise Lost

alors voila je connaissais le groupe que par la chanson purple red soil, que j'avais bien aimé sans +, puis après avoir lu d'exellente critique du nouvel album et faisant un tour a la fnac je l'ai pris et je n'ai pas été décu a vrai dire!
C'est vraiment a classé dans le gothic metal au sens mortal love, ou je trouve quelques similitudes
La chanteuse (comme celle de ce groupe) a une voix puissante, rock et grave qui la distingue de toute les autres, ca peut etre rebutant pour certain, mais perso quelle voix !!! impresionant
L'album comme pour souvent dans ce genre, est difficile d'acces, c'est sur que c'est pas within temptation ou nightwish (c'est pas pejoratif ce que je dis) mais les structures sont complexes!
bref j'ai pas encore tout l'album dans la tete mais il y a des putains de tueries allez les écouter
*orchidfire
*words before you leave
*miss fortune
*kismit (vous n'aimez pas les ballades nian nian du metal sympho, vous allez adoré celle la alors)
