Formed in Paris in 1988 as a sequel to Heimat-Los, Tear of a Doll (which was called Tears of a Doll until 1994) added various influences to an hardcore punk base (jazzcore, japan noise, prog-rock, world music) and used dissonant chords, complex structures and occasionally exotic instruments such as sitar or sarod. The unique sound they created is best exemplified on their 1996 full-length untitled album.
