Revolution (Lacrimosa Album)
''Revolution'' is the 11th studio album by the German gothic rock duo Lacrimosa. It was released on 7 September 2012 by Hall of Sermon. The album provides a mix of musical styles like classical instrumentation and aggressive rock. Reception In an announcement for their 'Tip of the Week', the '' Sonic Seducer'' magazine noted a "remarkably broad spectrum" of styles typical for Lacrimosa, and remarked a sometimes "unpolished" sound. A more detailed review by ''Powermetal.de'' wrote that the album's content was unusually direct for a work by Lacrimosa. The reviewer noted the guitar play of guest musician Mille Petrozza but was also critical of singer Tilo Wolff's English language skills in the song "This Is The Night". He wrote however that the "true revolution" of the album was offering music for a broad audience while not denying Lacrimosa's musical roots and ideals. The cover art for the album was interpreted in this review as a reference to the album's name: the band's mascot, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gothic Metal
Gothic metal (or goth metal) is a fusion genre combining the aggression of heavy metal with the dark atmospheres of gothic rock. The music of gothic metal is diverse with bands known to adopt the gothic approach to different styles of heavy metal music.

Lyrics are generally dark and introspective with inspiration from gothic fiction as well as personal experiences. Pioneers of gothic metal include Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride and Anathema, all from the north of England. Other pioneers from the first half of the 1990s include Type O Negative from the United States, Lake of Tears, Tiamat and Katatonia from Sweden, and the Gathering from the Netherlands.

Gothic Rock
Gothic rock (also called goth rock or simply goth) is a style of rock music that emerged from post-punk in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s. The first post-punk bands which shifted toward dark music with gothic overtones include Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, Bauhaus, and the Cure. The genre itself was defined as a separate movement from post-punk. Gothic rock stood out due to its darker sound, with the use of primarily minor or bass chords, reverb, dark arrangements, or dramatic and melancholic melodies, having inspirations in gothic literature allied with themes such as sadness, nihilism, dark romanticism, tragedy, melancholy and morbidity. These themes are often approached poetically. The sensibilities of the genre led the lyrics to represent the evil of the century and the romantic idealization of death and the supernatural imagination. Gothic rock then gave rise to a broader goth subculture that included clubs, fashion and publications in the 1980s, 1990s, a ...

Sehnsucht (Lacrimosa Album)
Sehnsucht is the tenth album by the German gothic rock duo Lacrimosa, released on 8 May 2009. Singer and producer Tilo Wolff wanted to create an album that was less conceptual and more spontaneous than the previous releases by Lacrimosa. Therefore, ''Sehnsucht'' features a great variability of musical expressions like a sarcastic track "Feuer" and the tender song "Call Me With The Voice Of Love". The planned release of a vinyl format album was cancelled shortly before the final release of ''Sehnsucht''. Reception In a positive review the German ''Sonic Seducer'' magazine lauded the freshness of the songs as well as singer Anne Nurmi's facetted and self-confident vocals, while the ''Side-Line'' magazine did not discover much new material in the album and compared the sound of "I Lost My Star in Krasnodar" to Rammstein. However, the author awarded five out of six points. The ''laut.de laut.de is a German online magazine dealing exclusively with entertainment music, especiall ...
