Lacrimas Profundere
Biography
Lacrimas Profundere is a German gothic metal band spearheaded by guitarist Oliver Nikolas Schmid, whose revolving door lineup rivals even Spinal Tap's (or Jethro Tull's) in terms of multiple musicians over the years. Founded in the Southern Bavarian municipality of Waging am See, circa 1993, Lacrimas Profundere debuted with 1995's ...And the Wings Embraced Us, featuring his brother Christopher Schmid on vocals, plus violinist Anja Hötzendorfer, flautist/keyboard player Eva Stöger, bassist Markus Lapper, and drummer Christian Greisberger. Despite such exotic instrumentation (for heavy metal at least), this and subsequent LPs like ...La Naissance d'un Rêve (1997), Memorandum (1999), and Burning: A Wish (2001), generally ran parallel with the doomy goth of mid-period Anathema, Katatonia and My Dying Bride. By comparison, subsequent efforts like Fall, I Will Follow (2002), Ave End (2004), and Filthy Notes for Frozen Hearts (2006), saw Lacrimas Profundere following in the footsteps of the bands cited above, plus the likes of Tiamat and Moonspell, in leaving many of their metallic tendencies behind in order to embrace more traditional gothic rock wholeheartedly. 2007 also marked the departure of Christopher Schmid -- the last remaining original band member, save his brother -- and the arrival of new singer Rob Vitacca, likely signifying additional changes to Lacrimas Profundere's sound and creative direction in the immediate future. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide

It took until 2009 for metalizdead to realize the Germans had music. Don't pay any attention to him.
|
||
metalizedead , if they're so terrible why do you have them bookmarked? LOL
|
||
I think it's funny their similar artists are "The 69 Eyes" and "The 69eyes" like they are two different bands.
|
||
Great, the nazis have turned their attention to music now. Is this how they recruit for the SS now? it sounds like an equipment malfunction at a recording studio under construction . Terrible Profundre

One of Germany's finest. I said that I don't care about the lyrics earlier because in so many places, I always hear someone not listening to a song because of lyrics which is a shame since the music can be wonderful.

devoid of truth-a dereliction of feelings and outside the palace walls Monika waited for a future she would never see.tell all,the street poet with catholic cross tatoo on his face became an informer today for silver.and now monica's hearts probation was about to cease.the meadow was wet and the sky was full of night and a red fox ran past the diminishing skyline.

no more love to shed-it was frankie knucles-his homicidal voice came from a black alley-''brid e , a r e n ' t you a little far from home base'' '' mr. knuckles-you know i'm looking for my pet,smile'' ''smile-is mine now''and frankie threw his assasins knife fast - sudden and it hissed horribly in the air on its way to give the bride a lasting forever deathly kiss......
|

i don't know how to get to the lyrics page-heelllp p p p p ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
|
||
i have listened to there filthy notes song and it is very inspiring... . i wish to hear more, i look forward to it...
|
||
and that aside, it's the combination of both lyrics and music that get across the artist's true meaning.
|
||
Raver, you should care about the lyrics. If nothing else, they'll get you subliminally anyway.
|
||
I've just now gotten started on these guys, and I love them!!! Their sound is great. The vocalist has an awesome voice!
|
||
Well said, craighead3. Don't really care about the lyrics. I care more about the wonderful musical sound.
|
||
Once again, Pandora exposed me to another great artist! The music's good and dark without being completely depressing or whiny. Good music for a rainy day. Or night.
|
||
I agree it sounds alot like Valo but HIM was influenced by Type O Negative so it makes sense that it would remind you of either group.
|
||
Wow, the singer sounds almost like Peter Steele! Even the guitar sounds similar to Type O, good s**t.
|
||
try type o negative if you like these guys. Thought it WAS them at first listen.
|
||
I honestly don't know where I'd be without Pandora. They have introduced me to this and many other brilliant bands. I would have to say however, that this IS my favorite Pandora band.
|
||
Just introduced to this band here via Pandora. Will definately make them a favorite on my list.
