Description
Double album with gatefold cover and the complete album on cd as bonus
Proving change is imminent, and part of life, Lacrimas Profundere also ventures into their first concept album with their 2016 album, Hope Is Here. The story is about the expulsed boy Aramis, who ekes out a living in a dark forest. With this album Lacrimas Profundere sound different, and the simple stamp Gothic Metal would be a pure understatement. Hope Is Here is a magnum opus of melancholic Rock music with every single played note and fibre. On Hope Is Here, all varieties of melancholic Rock music are demonstrated. This is sprinkled throughout including “No Man’s Land,” which comes nearest to older Lacrimas hits. In contrast, “Pageant” sounds extremely easygoing with a light Blues note, underlining the band’s new won diversity. Later on, “You, My North” is calm, sounds typical, but somehow on a new level the band has hauled up themselves. Other bold moments include “Awake” with hardly discernible electronic support in the verses and “Timbre,” which convinces with their big melodies to help carry the conceptional story full-atmosphere towards the end with the acoustic ballad “Black Moon.” With Hope Is Here, Lacrimas Profundere set the world on fire and put the final nail in the coffin to raise a claim on the blackly Rock throne after creating this piece of timeless Melancholic Rock music. Even the aesthetic album cover artwork brings the overall picture down to a round figure of compelling art. Melancholic Rock fans who do not check out this milestone have to be banned to this dark forest. That being said, yes, the wait for Hope Is Here was well worth it.
