In November 1990 the Swiss music scene started to get curious about Tilo Wolff's Project LACRIMOSA as his music in form of a tape "Clamor" reached the people of the underground scene. This melancholic music filled with classical elements, surrounding poetic lyrics and topped by an emotional voice was something which fascinated many and quickly a scene was raising up, which was nearly already forgotten.

For his first release, the LP "Angst", Tilo Wolff found his own label HALL OF SERMON for giving LACRIMOSA the entire artistical freedom.

LACRIMOSA's music had been coloured by several guest musicians, but in the beginning of 1994, Anne Nurmi joined the former soloproject to become a permanent member. Anne Nurmi, who was the keyboarder, singer and one of the grounders of the Finnish band TWO WITHCES, was setting new musical accents with her singing and composing.

The following releases were managing to combine the roughness of Metal and Gothic Rock, without loosing the most obvious love for classical music. With this revolutionary sound, LACRIMOSA was pioneer and obstetrician for music styles like Gothic Metal and Symphonic Metal, which both became a huge trend!

The new Studio Album "Lichtgestalt" is going to be realeased on 2. May 2005
