Lacrimas Profundere Announce First Album in 4 Years // "Lay Me Down O Silent Fear" Out September 25th!
Four years have passed since Lacrimas Profundere's last full-length album. During this time, they have played hundreds of concerts, including the biggest festivals in Europe, crowned by a European tour supporting their greatest idols, the band Paradise Lost.
The German gothic metal band has announced their latest studio album, Lay Me Down O Silent Fear. The album will be released on September 25th via Steamhammer Records. With this news, they also shared the first single and music video off the album, titled “O Silent Fear.”
When a band has been around for 33 years, they mean business and can look back on an eventful history. With the chart positions of their previous albums, various awards and accolades, sold-out tours, festivals and shows in 40 countries to date, and their ever-growing fanbase, Lacrimas Profundere has already achieved a great deal. But with their new album, they want more, dream bigger, and continue on their path with unwavering determination.
What would “Bohemian Rhapsody” sound like if Bring Me the Horizon were to cover it? "We don't know, but at least we tried," says guitarist Oliver Nikolas Schmid. Never before has gothic and metalcore been as close as they are on Lay Me Down O Silent Fear and Lacrimas Profundere consistently demonstrates its unique talent for profound and exciting songwriting.
Debut single "O Silent Fear" became a blend of Amorphis, Arch Enemy and HIM. If someone had told the band such a song existed, they would have wanted to hear it immediately. Another example is the track "Heart I Will Break You, Before You Break Me," which feels as though Anathema had suddenly invited Glen Danzig to take over the microphone.
The band members have finally emerged from their protective gothic cocoon and present the most spectacular album in their history. Every note reveals a band that refuses to choose between gothic, heavy metal, brutality, darkness, modernity, or old school.
