Leidenschaft [Import]

• Track Listing

Limited 2CD 64 page Earbook version. Lacrimosa was the one of the first band's combining Gothic elements with Metal, flooded by classical orchestrations when they released their groundbreaking 'Schakal' back in 1994. Two years later, the band was headlining the Dark Winter Nights Festivals, the first festival tour ever bringing together Gothic and Metal bands on one stage, alongside The Gathering, Sentenced and Dreams of Sanity. The rest is history: Many bands from the Metal as well as from the Gothic scene followed their example and Gothic Metal and Symphonic Metal became established music styles until the present day. In the meantime, Lacrimosa elaborated and improved their musical proficiency, while staying independent from any major label since day one until today, playing shows around the world from Argentina to China over more than 20 years, and now bringing it all together in this masterpiece. Passion meets perfection, pain meets salvation, and darkness meets the guiding light of love; 'Leidenschaft' is more than a new album, it is a magical achievement of pure passion!
