Flowing Tears was a German gothic metal band. Their original band name was ''Flowing Tears & Withered Flowers'', which they used for their first several releases. ==History== 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.〔(Flowing Tears Interview @ ice-vajal.com )〕 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,〔(Flowing Tears Introduce New Singer! ) bravewords.com. 2003-05-20. Retrieved on 2010-08-21.〕 who still sings with the band.
