"Lacrimosa" (Lacrimosa), a musical group from Switzerland, performing compositions in the style of dark wave, symphonic metal and gothic metal, organized in 1990. The group includes founder and composer Thilo Wolff, vocalist and keyboardist Anna Nurmi. Songs are performed in different languages - Finnish, German, Latin, Russian, English, Spanish. The name of the group comes from the Latin words: “Lacrima” (tears) and “mosa” (current), which means “flowing tears”.
In 1991, the musicians recorded their debut album “Angst”, the following year “Einsamkeit” was released, and in 1993 “Satura” was released. The style orientation of the albums is a dark wave. Soon, the musicians begin to change direction towards Gothic metal. In this genre, the album “Inferno” comes out, and all subsequent collections sound in a rather original mixture of symphonic metal and gothic metal.
In 1998, after a long tour with Secret Discovery,
and Darkseed, the band released a double live CD, Live. Immediately after the release of the DVD, "Lacrimosa" begins work on a new, concept album, "Elodia". A symphony orchestra and even several choral ensembles participate in his recording. In 1999, Tilo Wolff took part in the recording of the album Endorama by Creator. In 2001, the album “Fassade” was released, the title track of the same name “Fassade” in which it becomes a real hit and hits the charts of many radio stations in Europe. Soon the band again went on a European tour, visiting Germany, Italy and the CIS countries, including Russia, where the musicians give several concerts, in particular – in the Moscow club “Tochka”. A collection called Lichtgestalt was released in 2005. Material for him, the group “Lacrimosa” prepares during the last tour, communicating with fans, and studying folklore.
For the twenty-year anniversary of the band "Lacrimosa" releases a festive album, which includes old, beloved songs, some demos recorded in 1990, as well as completely new, previously unreleased songs. The name of the album is “Schattenspiel” (Game of Shadows).
