Gloomy Germans Give Great Goth Music.......2005-10-10

Vocals are not the strongest point with this group (arrangements are) but they do a very impressive job with the voices they do have, whether the vocal is half-muttered male voice or a muffled female choir.

Goth bands tend to be spoiled by overbearing vocals from at least one operatic screamer, or sometimes a technically blinding but boring guitarist, or by starring The Incredible Hulk on drums. Lacrimosa are very different. For one thing, the melodies are real, and very varied (check out My Last Goodbye on this album). For another, a lot of orchestral instruments are used with sensitivity and taste. For a third, even when rawking out, there is something endearingly gentle about this group. Plus, they are Germans, and the Goth bloodline goes a long way back with them (several songs on all their albums are in English). I love their guitarist, too.

I recommend this album highly, but you can't go wrong with Fassade, Elodia or Echos, either. My son, who is heavily into Metal, thinks this stuff is too soft. Until his tastes mature, these beautiful records remain safely in my clutches.
