THE FINALE OF A TRILOGY
“Like the sun of your heart The light shines from your being! Outshine – outshine – please outshine this darkness!"
LACRIMOSA – this name stands for more than one band in the Gothic, Metal, Symphonic Metal, or the Dark Wave or Rock genres! LACRIMOSA is a genre of its own!
And after 35 years, 14 studio and 5 live albums, singles and EPs, and after regular concert tours around the globe – not a handful of German-speaking bands perform in foreign countries with such consistency – «Lament» is the 15th studio album and the finale of their trilogy that began in 2017!
What began with «Testimonium», inspired by the deaths of many artists who had significantly influenced Tilo Wolff's career – artists such as David Bowie, Leonard Cohen and Prince – as well as the death of his own parents, gave rise to 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, among many other special features to discover, the orchestral, almost 10-minute title track, as well as the third part of the integral ‘Storm-Trilogy’ and summarizes this in an impressive way 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 whose front cover another grave statue bids farewells to the night and welcomes the morning, while the back cover shows the graves statues of the previous albums and their arrangement in the park that LACRIMOSA had impressively sung about in «Die Antwort ist Schweigen» on «Leidenschaft», the middle part of the trilogy.
«Lament», which made a first impression in November 2024 with its furious single «Avalon» and its acclaimed video clip, will enrich, decorate and inspire the music world in the long term!
