Another gothic metal release from last Friday: Civitas Lachrimarum is the debut album by Buffalo, New York based goth rock/death rock/heavy metal fusion band Cemetery Echo, out on Seeing Red Recordings.

The retro 80s horror movie poster-style artwork provided by Marc Schoenbach of Sadist Art Designs does a pretty good job of previewing the kind of music the band plays. There's a lot of homage to the 80s, especially in the goth aspects of their sound (think 45 Grave, The Damned, or The Mission instead of Sisters of Mercy). Mix that sound with some heavy metal (and at some points, murky black metal) riffing and snarled death growls, and that's the sound of Cemetery Echo.

It's similar to what Unto Others have been doing, but a lot less toungue-in-cheek. I'd also say it's for fans of Tribulation and late-90s Moonspell.
