Not to mention the punctuation - or complete lack thereof! ;P
Tell you about Lacrimosa? OMG don't even get me started. It's my new obsession. It's the BEST gothic rock/black metal band ever. Actually, it defies categorizing - the music fluctuates between aggressive noise and the most subtle, poetic, lyrical soundscapes imaginable. One feature is constant: it's very dark and atmospheric (I would be playing it all the time, except it just doesn't sound right in the light of day... LOL). It's a German band (the Germans do dark/gothic stuff better than anyone else, IMO), and most of the music/lyrics/artwork etc. is created by the frontman Tilo Wolff, who looks very androgynous and very vampiric.;) He's my new hero, LOL (and the gorgeous female vocalist Anne Nurmi is not half bad either... :P). The band has been around since early nineties - it just took me some time to discover it, or to mature enough to appreciate the music (when I first heard it a few years back, I found it too dark and noisy for my taste - I was still a pop music person then, LOL). They have a website (www.lacrimosa.com), and I think all (or most) of their albums are available through Amazon. I am just expanding my collection (I love every single album I've heard so far). I think it's safe to assume that if you're into vampire fiction and stuff like that, you would love Lacrimosa too (there are no direct references to vampirism in the lyrics, but when you take a look at the cover art and listen to some music samples - at Amazon, for example - you will know what I mean).
Heh. Okay, I'll try to shut up now and let you make up your own mind about the band.:P
