Clouds is the third full-length album by Tiamat, issued in 1992 through Century Media Records. It expands upon the death-doom sound of previous albums with more melodic, gothic rock-inspired elements, including occasional clean singing, while retaining extremely heavy instrumentation and Johan Edlund's death growl.
