When writing the material for their third release, Lestat took a slightly different direction with their sound.
Less thundering and industrial, their sound bent more toward floating beautiful tones and harmonies.
The overall feel of their music was the same melancholy despair and dark themes, but less experimental and harsh.
They were also cognizant of the fact that this would be their first CD release, so more care was taken to craft their art and ready the songs for the digital world.
At the same time, Lestat was working with their acts on Jevan Records, releasing new Bath and Fragment material.

When Vision of Sorrows was released in 1994, Lestat took a bold move and held their release show at the Cleveland Agora, a larger venue then they were used to playing.
During this time, they also continued to travel to different cities, even playing in Chicago for the 100th anniversary of the writing of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
They also had their track “?”
included on the Cleopatra Records Goth Box compilation (Cleopatra [CLP 9798-2], 1996).

In 1995, Lestat would release a 12 track compilation CD entitled One through Jevan Records, featuring all three acts on the label.
Two of the tracks on the CD were remixed versions of earlier Lestat songs Realm and FallnAngel, along with a new song written for the release entitled Fate.
This release would be the last release for Jevan Records.
Also in 1995, Lestat performed at the first annual Convergence alt.gothic festival in Chicago alongside bands such as Mephisto Walz, Lycia, The Wake, and Sunshine Blind.

During this time, author Eric Muss-Barnes published The Gothic Rainbow: Beginning Volume of the Vampire Noctuaries (1997) which is said to be loosely based on the members of the band Lestat and the Cleveland music scene at that time.
