Lament is a Mexican death metal/power metal band.[6] that originated in Mexico City in 1993.

Background

[edit]

Lament formed in 1993 under the name Beheaded.[7] The original genre was along the lines of grindcore and brutal death metal.[8] In 1996, the band switched their name to Lament after the death of Drummer Arturo Guzman.[8] Soon after changing names, the band went to a music festival, where the band met Steve Rowe of Mortification.[8] In 1997, the band recorded their debut album Tears of a Leper. The artwork was apparently controversial, so the band had to use an alternative cover.[9] In 1998, the band was dropped by Rowe Productions and lost their original vocalist Marcos Pérez.[8] The band released their third album, Breathless in 2001 through Kingdom. Eight years later, the band released Renaissance, through Lament Records, label that the band formed as a way to independently release their material. Four years later, the band released Left Behind in 2013.[2] In 2017, it was announced that Lament, alongside Dehumanize, had signed to Vision of God Records and were reissuing Tears of a Leper and were working on new material.[10]

Lament Records has signed additional bands and they have distribution through Vision of God Records in the United States.[11]
