Fronted by Johan Edlund, Tiamat has undergone several style changes over the years, with the earliest incarnations of the band focusing on death metal (Sumerian Cry, as well as earlier demos of the band, back when they went by the name Treblinka), then moving toward a doomier sound (Astral Sleep* and *Clouds), and then came Wildhoney, by which time most remnants of anything death-ish were gone and the first signs of Pink Floyd influences were found. Their next album, the atmospheric A Deeper Kind Of Slumber, was perhaps the band's most controversial, as the Floyd-isms were in full effect and opinions on the new direction were sharply divided among fans and critics (personal opinion here -- Slumber is a brilliant album, period). Next up was Skeleton Skeletron, marking another shift, this time towards a goth-oriented sound, a style furthered on their two most recent albums Judas Christ and Prey, with simpler, more upbeat goth stylings dominating the albums. Edlund has also recorded a solo effort under the name Lucyfire, whose This Dollar Saved My Life At Whitehorse is by all accounts much more a rock record than anything metal-oriented.
