Metal'n'Deut: Lacrimosa (english).

Lacrimosa is a german group with elements of gothic, symphonic and neoclassical metal mixed with the use of classical instruments like violins. Its lyrics are written mostly in German but there are English, Spanish, Russian, Latin and Finnish lyrics. The topics most common are sadness, darkness, despair, hopelessness, death, love, hope and happiness.

In 1987 Christian Dörge decided to recruit "promises" of the German Gothic to his album Lycia. Participated in this album: Tilo Wolff, Bruno Kramm and Oswald Henke. Tilo, aged 16, played "Der Satyr", "Weltschmerz", "kriegsvögel" and "Mystiche Rosenmadona". This album wasn’t released until 1992.

After this collaboration between Dörge and Wolff, Lacrimosa was created. It first job was Clamor with only two songs, published in 1990, recorded on tape, only 100 copies and was distributed among acquaintances.

The first official album by Lacrimosa was Angst (Fear) with melancholic and slow sounds based in repetitive percussion battery, dominant presence of the keyboard and a deep voice. The only "hard" song was "Der Ketzer" (The Heretic) where the crimes of the popes of Rome is reported. The following albums continued with the essence of the first but with a touch more rock and guitars: Einsamkeit (Soledad) and Satura. In 1993 starts the promotional tour for Satura where Wolf met Anne Nurmi, keyboard and vocals of Two Witches, who collaborated during the tour and ended up joining the group.

Inferno is the fourth album. This album has sounds with hints of gothic metal but Lacrimosa ventured into metal sound with Stille (Silence). This disc also incorporates classical instruments providing a symphonic touch. In next album, Elodia, guitars lose important in favor of symphonic elements recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra. This album was conceived as a work in three parts: the first act about love that overwhelms, the second the separation and the third a requiem which states that at the end back together (Am Ende stehen wir Zwei).

The sound of Elodia remains in Fassade (Front) which is a mixture of lots of styles from hard and metallic in "Liebesspiel" (Game of Love) to the quiet of "Senses". Echos has touches of their loved symphonic elements with influences of electronic industrial music visible for example in "Ein Hauch von Menschlichkeit" (A Touch of Humanity). In 2005 Lichtgestalt (Figure of Light) was published, and after two years of touring, Lichtjahre (year of birth) recorded in several countries during the tour joined with the DVD.

In 2009 published Sehnsucht (Longing) with two editions: a standard and other special. The most popular songs were "Die Sehnsucht in mir" (The Wish on Me), "Feuer" (Fire) and "Mandira Nebula". In 2010 to commemorate of its twentieth anniversary, Schattenspiel was published which makes a journey through time through and its songs. its last studio album was in 2012, Revolution.
