Clouds is the third full-length album from Tiamat. This album was reissued in 1992 through Century Media Records.

Clouds expanded upon the death/doom sound of the previous album by introducing a broader focus on melodic and goth rock-inspired elements, including occasional clean vocals. Instrumentally, the album is primarily a fusion of crushing doom metal riffs and guttural death growls, fused with delicate keyboards and occasional clean vocals.
