LACRIMOSA und [SOON]

In the organizer's words:

Lacrimosa - this name stands for more than just a gothic, metal, symphonic metal, dark wave or rock band. Lacrimosa is a genre in its own right. And after 35 years, 14 studio and 5 live albums, singles and EPs and regular concert tours around the globe - no handful of German-speaking bands perform so consistently abroad - they released their 15th studio album "Lament", the finale of their trilogy that began in 2017.

It began with "Testimonium", triggered by the deaths of many artists who had significantly influenced Tilo Wolff in his career, such as David Bowie, Leonard Cohen and Prince, as well as the death of his own parents. The result is a cycle about love, death, desire and loss and about hope in the light, the rising sun in the heart of every human being.

Produced with great effort, "Lament" contains the orchestral, almost ten-minute title track as well as the third part of the integral "Storm Trilogy". This is impressively summarized in the final "Memoria", which musically ends exactly where "Testimonium" once began. The continuity is also evident in the artwork of the new album, on the front cover of which another funerary statue bids farewell to the night and welcomes the morning. The back cover shows the funerary figures from the previous albums and their arrangement in the park that Lacrimosa had impressively sung about in "The Answer is Silence" on "Passion", the middle part of the trilogy.
