LACRIMAS PROFUNDERE Share "Faceless" Video — WATCH

The German gothcore band Lacrimas Profundere are releasing the new single "FACELESS" today, including the accompanying video. The song is also featured on the upcoming studio album Lay Me Down O Silent Fear.

Watch the video below.

What could it sound like if BRING ME THE HORIZON were to suddenly cover...QUEEN?

Guitarist Oliver Nikolas Schmid says, "We don't know, but with 'FACELESS,' we at least gave it a try."

He continues, "'FACELESS' was the song I had written as a tribute to 'Unseen' from the last album. But somehow the chorus never really caught fire, and I really annoyed Julian with it, too — until he then sent three fragments that unfortunately had absolutely nothing to do with the actual song. They were simply three ideas he had sung dry. One of the ideas grabbed me immediately upon first hearing it. Large parts of the music and the key had to be completely changed and rewritten around the vocals, but it was magical. You can't plan things like that, they just happen, and that's what I love so much about music and what still keeps it so exciting for me after all these years. If Julian and I should ever part ways, we will certainly still write good music, but this special something will be gone forever. The term 'GOTHCORE' had already been haunting my mind since the descriptions of the last album, such as HIM-meets-Metalcore, and now it was time to create an album that hopefully marks the starting point of this new musical style. 'FACELESS' fits wonderfully with what I envision it to be."

LACRIMAS PROFUNDERE Share "Nevermore" Video

Dark metal band Lacrimas Profundere released their new single and video for the song "Nevermore" today. The song is also included on the upcoming studio album Lay Me Down O Silent Fear.

Watch the video below.

Guitar player Oliver Nikols Schmid says, "'Nevermore' was one of the last songs written for the album. Our singer Julian immediately loved the music, which in parts reminded him of Type O Negative. I, on the other hand, initially thought it was more of a B-side. Then he came up with this catchy vocal melody, almost reminiscent of my old heroes, Bon Jovi, but I was still unsure. We agreed to put the song through a few live tests — something we had never done before. Well, what can I say? Even though nobody had ever heard the song before, people immediately started singing along at the top of their lungs. And even after the song ended, the entire venue kept chanting 'NE-VER-MORE, NE-VER-MORE' for minutes. That was the moment I knew: This is it! In a way, this is our 'As I Die,' which originally wasn't even supposed to make it onto Paradise Lost's Shades of God album, but ultimately became their breakthrough. That's exactly what we're hoping for now."

Lay Me Down O Silent Fear will be released on September 25 through Steamhammer worldwide
