Cries of the Past is the second album by American Christian metalcore band Underoath.[2][3] The album was released on July 4, 2000 through Takehold Records. Only 3,000 copies of the album were pressed, and, like Act of Depression, it is currently out of print. The album is the last to feature metal guitarist Corey Steger and is the first to introduce Christopher Dudley as the band's keyboardist.
Musical content and style
The second and third song are out of order from the list on the jacket, with "Giving Up Hurts the Most" as the actual second track. The song "And I Dreamt of You" is Underoath's longest recorded song, clocking in at 11 minutes and 24 Seconds.
The album acquires a similar sound to Act of Depression, however features occasional traces of black metal.[1]
