Free Music Review: Lacrimosa - True, sophisticated Goth!
Hit: 5 Stars
I used to be quite heavily into Goth in the late 80s, through the early-mid 90s. After that, I started losing interest, it seemed as though Goth was getting too popular, and thus commercialized, and the new Goth music coming out just seemed less and less appealing.
Well, this review is for those of you, like me, who miss the old school Goth. I don't know about all that crap that they call Goth nowadays, I won't name specific names here. But I do know that it's missing the old vibe. So, if you like older Goth; you know, Bauhaus, X-Mal Deutschland, Gitane Demone, Switchblade Symphony, Mephisto Walz, Suspiria, etc... then check out Lacrimosa.
I know now that they have in fact been putting out albums through the 90s, but living here in the United States of Ignorance, I had no idea of them until last year, when I traveled outside the country and found Echos in a music shop! Intrigued by the cover (it's the original European release, with a ship on the cover), I bought it, and thus discovered that true, profound Goth is alive and very well in Lacromisa!
Now, Lacrimosa is quite musically complex, I believe more so than the more usual Goth bands. If you check out Lacrimosa you should also like Classical, or at least be open-minded about it, because there is a heavy dose of it. The only very, very slight complaint I have about Echos is the long first track classical overture, it is maybe a bit too long, but this is very minor; it is otherwise perfect in every way!
There are a number of reviewers here who seem disturbed by the singing and German language. I am surprised by this. His voice and way of singing is stunning; a very strong and powerful Goth voice, not screaming like with some bands, just very powerful and emotive. The German language is amazing, harsh and beautiful. In my European release I have no English translations; I don't need them, his voice becomes an instrument that speaks to me on another level, I need no literal meanings...
