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, Rovi
Interesting fellas. By the comments I'd probably like their older stuff as well if they lost their vocalist. I do like them though. Very interesting to my ears. ^^ I don't listen to a lot of gothic or doom metal. I'm more for melodic stuff and general metal but thumbs up! ^.^
Not as impressed, to say the least, as the others who left comments. Almost downthumbed the song.

Their stylistic aesthetic has evolved over time; originally a death doom rooted gothic metal band, they have progressively changed their style to a more mainstream gothic style with the later albums. I dont listen them after they change music style because band founder and vocal left the bend. IT is not same band anymore.
HIM is my favorite band by far, and I don't think they sound similar at all. They remind me more of the 69 Eyes than HIM. They're very good, but I've yet to find a band that even reminds me of HIM =)
Had a listen to their recent album (probably not added to Pandora yet - I think the album is called The Grandoise Nowhere or something like that). Bleh. What a shame .. :-/
Filthy Notes For Frozen Hearts was also my introduction to this band, but I quite liked the tracks I heard (ergo why I bought the album, which I've enjoyed so far). I'm not sure if Pandora has played anything from Fall, I Will Follow for me yet.
yeah, the first Lacrimas Profundre songs i heard came off of Filthy Notes for Frozen Hearts and I didn't like them. the tracks off of Fall, I Will Follow from what I heard from one of my stations are really good. try sampling that album, Matthew.
Just picked up Filthy Notes For Frozen Hearts, and it hasn't done anything to make me regret buying it (unlike the last album I purchased, Operatika's The Calling, which was frankly ruined by too much guitar solo wankery). Now to make other people I know listen to them...
Very interesting - I've only heard one track so far but that was excellent while also being rather unique. I don't think I've ever heard a metal group with a male vocalist actually SING in the lower registers before, they usually just use their 'low' voices for screaming, heh. Made for a refreshing contrast!
hmm... pretty cool. I'm enjoying them a bit more than The 69 Eyes. the dark, gloomy melodies are beautiful. just what I like about gothic rock and metal.
After discovering Paradise Lost I wanted to hear more bands similar to them, and so far Lacrimas Profundere is my favorite. The richness and melancholic depth of the melodies keeps me enraptured.

This band is cool, they sorta remind me of a similar German rock group called ASP I actually thought it was them at first.
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
