Lamented Souls' discography is still in a somewhat embryonic state, having only a couple of demo releases and this compilation of material to show for it. This collection of songs recorded up to 1997 is a fine display of traditional doom metal with a Norwegian twist, the most impressive element being the booming vocals of Simen Hestnaes that don't seek to mirror any of the doom giants.

Products similar to The Origins Of Misery - Lament...
Nostradamus - Judas Priest
Long, intriguing, different.
Bulked out by too many interludes and slow songs.
Defenders Of The Faith - Judas Priest
More great eighties heavy metal.
Nothing new after 'Screaming for Vengeance.'
Demolition - Judas Priest
One or two memorable moments, Owens isn't a bad singer.
Slow and tedious, lacks any originality.
Even If It Kills Me - Motion City Soundtrack
A great mix of fast paced catchy songs and slower ballads
None
Ghost Opera - Kamelot
Violin used well in numerous songs, and band crawls out of the gloom of the previous album.
Songs don't stand out, and offer very little.
I Walk Among You - Iced Earth
The new song is pretty good, if nothing we haven't heard before.
Pointless overdubs of average songs with a copycat singer.
Jugulator - Judas Priest
Some effective heavy metal, with a more modern approach.
Frequently dull.
Karma - Kamelot
Arguably perfects the band's symphonic metal style.
Too cheesy on occasion, and ballads interrupt the flow.
Killing Machine - Judas Priest
Pioneers the famous Judas Priest style, with some more classic songs.
Could have been 'British Steel' with a bit more care and time.
Lunar Strain - In Flames
Strong melodic death metal in its original incarnation.
Awkward incorporation of folk elements at times, and a few too many short songs.
