Germany (1993 – present)

Lacrimas Profundere is a gothic rock/metal band from Germany.

Lacrimas Profundere was founded in 1993 by guitarist Oliver Schmid. At the time, the band was strongly influenced by doom metal, and made use of feminine vocals and classical elements. With the entrance of vocalist Anja Hötzendorfer, they drew enough attention to themselves to be able to record their debut, entitled …and the Wings Embraced Us, which was released in 1995 and was followed by La Naissance d’un Rêve, from 1997.

After said releases, the band was granted a deal with Napalm Records which included five albums. An harpist was added to the band’s line-up and they proceeded to record Memorandum (1999).
Burning: A Wish from 2001 was Lacrimas Profundere’s first album to receive attention from the international specialized press. This album featured the removal of the band’s classical elements to some degree, and was also the first time they employed baritone vocals, supplied by Oliver’s brother, Christopher Schmid. Their first international tour then began, including countries of Europe and Latin America.
Lacrimas Profundere’s subsequent albums were Fall, I Will Follow from 2002 and Ave End from 2004. Recently their newest albums has been brought in the shops: Filthy Notes for Frozen Hearts.
Again, the formula of heavy guitars and the low smooth voice of the leadsinger brings a nice soothing sound.

In 2007 there ocurred some line-up changes, including the departure of the vocalist Christopher Schmid (who aleged stress problems to leave the band). The only founding member is now the guitarist Oliver Nikolas Schmid.

tve_91 - i agree Stopp catagorising music Its pathetic! I love music from kate bush, which in a realastic view, would be original *emotional music* because of the lyrics and the emotion thrown into the vocals, but she is listed as anything but that. Same goes along with alanis morrisette. People who have to sterotype and catagorise things are arrogant *fakers* who really just follow the herd. And secondly CHRISTOPHER IS SEXAY BEAST <3 *fan boy dance* i love his voice, and scarily enough, my mum loves his voice alot to! x

Oh it's so sad when people rate and put band in boxes... Just listen the music and don't think about genres... Great band... All albums are unique and usually band 'evolve' and their sound change.

You must be very stupid if you really think that they were old Theatre of Tragedy clone. They were similar to old Anathema and even better than old Anathema.

i love lacrimas since burning a wish came out and i need to say that realmofdarkness is completely right. Denying it ur just showing how ignorant and stupid u rly r becus its just a pure truth what he said. Anyway i still enjoy their music and last view is a pretty nice album. but they shud go further into something more heavy and doomy.

Okay, folks, let's be honest. We all know that this has nothing to to with doom metal.

Just goes to show how few ppl know what Gothic Metal is. What Gothic itself is. Or even what Metal is. You bunch of false posers. You should've been drowned at birth.
