99年6月，Lake Of Tears开始着手第四张专辑《Forever Autumn》（永远的秋），Christian Saarinen的加入使这专辑多了更丰富的键盘音乐元素。专辑所有的歌曲都出于Daniel Brennare之手。这张专辑已经不太金属了。里面出现了许多非常慢速抒情的曲调。这也许是Lake Of Tears心情历程的写照吧。

Passion and the Opera is the third single by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish, released from their album Oceanborn, the single was shipped only in a cardsleeve. The song was played live only between 1999 and 2001, but since 2007 Tarja Turunen, Nightwish ex-frontwoman, is playing the song live with her own band.
The single's cover art features the Oceanborn owl with the same scroll as in the cover of Oceanborn and Wishmaster.

Sweden's Draconian return with their second release, Arcane Rain Fell. This is pure Gothic/Doom Metal: gentle and pleasing, bittersweet and cutting. Melancholic female vocals harmoniously compliment heavy guitars and atmospheric keyboard lines, with aggressive male vocals giving the tracks an added edge. Draconian perfectly balances heaviness and melody, and will charm fans of both the gothic and doom genre.

来自芬兰赫尔辛基的歌特厄运金属乐团，又一次延续了芬兰的黑暗神话，带给我们一段异常凄美而又动人的悲情篇章。这是第二张专辑，上一张专辑争议很大。新专辑的钢琴是亮点，乐队为双键盘。大量的钢琴演奏，厄运的影子，缓慢低沉，独到的阴暗旋律。在08年末发行了The Dead End这张EP后，便让人满怀期待着09的这张新专辑。
