The all new Studio-Album (the first since 2012’s ‘Revolution’) for the 25th Anniversary!
10 tracks, 60 minutes, Jewel-Box edition with 28 (!) pages booklet
After celebrating their anniversary in front of over 3,000 people in September, where the band
already played two songs from the new album, LACRIMOSA will bring it out on November 6th
under the name “Hoffnung” ("hope").
The most ambitious work of the creator of Gothic Metal and co-founder of the Symphonic Metal
genre was recorded with an Orchestra of more than 60 musicians during the period of an entire
year. To achieve this – unlike other bands – Tilo Wolff (singer and composer of LACRIMOSA)
did not rely on an external arranger for Orchestras but draws responsible for the entire scores
for the orchestra recordings himself.
And the result speaks for itself: Never before LACRIMOSA inflamed such a storm of brutal guitar
riffs, driving drums and bombastic kettle drums in perfect harmony with powerful trombones and
heartbreaking strings. So it’s not a surprise that one of the musicians said during the recordings:
"This is like Pirates of the Caribbean goes Metal"! And this is what the press says:
"Hoffnung" is filled with magical highlights! The album is big and powerful, highly emotional and
has a wonderful flow!” EMP
"Hoffnung" has reached a whole new level! "ORKUS
