LACRIMAS PROFUNDERE releases their new album in August 2022!
29th April 2022 Itâs often the most difficult challenges that force a musician to grow artistically. For Lacrimas Profundere, one of the most innovative and successful German dark metal bands of our time, their latest studio album âHow To Shroud Yourself With Nightâ was primarily about the implicit burden imposed by their 2019 hit record âBleeding The Starsâ, whose success had indirectly raised huge expectations: âAlbum of the Monthâ in magazines such as Metal Hammer, Orkus and Dead Rhetoric, top 10 positions in other important publications, plus a chart entry and the groupâs most successful headlining tour to date.Who wouldnât be tempted to flirt with a sequel of that success story? âFor me, it was about liberating myself from the pressure to succeed and about trying to raise the bar, staying ahead of the game, challenging myself and staying true to ourselves, instead of playing it safe and writing some kind of âBleeding Part IIâ,â explains guitarist, band founder and main composer Oliver Nikolas Schmid, who once again found invaluable support in his brother and lyricist Christopher Schmid. âThe new material sounds fresh, wicked, surprising and more passionate than ever before. Itâs also the second chapter with our singer Julian, who has inspired us and played a major part in the creation of the album,â Schmid continues. âWe understand what he likes and have broken away from old thought patterns and ways of doing things. Never before have we been such a tight unit, always ready to expand our own sound. Thatâs precisely why âHow To Shroud Yourself With Nightâ has turned into our most spirited work by far.â
Like âBleeding The Starsâ, âHow To Shroud Yourself With Nightâ was produced by Kristian âKohleâ Kohlmannslehner at his Kohlekeller Studios in Seeheim and mastered by Tom Porcell at the Limetree Studios. The atmospheric, deep black cover artwork was designed by Indonesian artist Bahrull Marta and underlines the songsâ dense atmosphere and great depth of focus that supports the actual theme of the album: the desire to simply disappear, to be invisible and not have to deal with yourself and the outside world any more. Schmid: âEach song on this album deals with that theme. Itâs about shadows, about darkness and mystical objects which combine the unique power of ânothingnessâ.ââHow To Shroud Yourself With Nightâ sees them throw their oppressive veil of melancholy into the dark night and reveal the beauty thatâs inherent in bleak despondency. They accompany the listener into the gloom with doomy riffs and mournful melodic guitar and keyboard passages rich in atmosphere. Well, thereâs not much to add to this precise assessment!
