Lacrimas Profundere – The Grandiose Nowhere
Genre: Gothic Rock
Label: Napalm Records
With a voice that reminds me of Godhead’s Jason Miller at times, Lacrimas Profundere quickly impressed me. Riff-wise, they aren’t exactly covering new territories in rock music, but the instruments have a sound that lends itself well to what Lacrimas Profundere are doing, and what they are doing is rocking out solid tunes with catchy as hell choruses and big hooks that keep you interested in the songs.
I guess overall, if I were to compare them to others, Lacrimas Profundere would be like a cross between Godhead and Poison Black with elements of Sirenia and Japanese metal floating in and out of the mix. Pounding rhythm section with simple guitar riffs and a very compelling frontman, topped with a symphonic keyboard that doesn’t steal the thunder from anyone else, but adds to the storm.
My favourite songs on the album are “The Letter” and “Lips” with “No Matter Where You Shoot Me Down” winning the Coolest Song Title on the Album Award.
8 out of 10.
