Background

Lament formed in 1993 under the name Beheaded. The original genre was along the lines of grindcore and brutal death metal. In 1996, the band switched their name to Lament after the death of Drummer Arturo Guzman. Soon after changing names, the band went to a music festival, where the band met Steve Rowe of Mortification. 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. In 1998, the band was dropped by Rowe Productions and lost their original vocalist Marcos Pérez.
