The Bavarian Goth rockers Lacrimas Profundere have a new album out, The Grandiose Nowhere. It's album no. 9 for them since their 1995 debut ...And The Wings Embraced Us was released. The guys kick off with Be Mine In Tears and show that they stay on the chosen path. Genre fans will know what to expect, the ones who don't know them.... well, imagine a heavy version of HIM with a bit The 69 Eyes... A catchy one is The Letter, a danceable tune which should soon be played at Gothic metal discotheques. Synthesizer sounds lead you into Lips, a dark up-tempo rocker. Singer Rob Vitacca's vocals vary and here his dark timbre reminds me a bit of Pete Steele... After some danceable tunes you get a sad emotional song with I Don't Care, here the similarities to HIM are most obvious. The closer No Matter Where You Shoot Me Down somehow sticks out and is catching the listeners attention once again. Actually for me the highlight of the album and so I hope that in future they risk a little more.
Lacrimas Profundere deliver another well-crafted album which should please their followers and genre fans. I miss a real ear catcher, a song which haunts you for days.... Don't get me wrong, they don't do anything wrong, it's just a bit too predictable.
