Biography

Lacrimas Profundere was founded in 1993 by guitarist Oliver Schmid. At the time, the band was influenced by doom metal, and also made use of feminine vocals and classical elements. With the entrance of vocalist Anja Hötzendorfer, they drew enough attention to themselves to be able to record their debut, entitled ''... and the Wings Embraced Us'', which was released in 1995 and was followed by ''La Naissance d’un Rêve'', from 1997.
After the said releases, the band was granted a deal with Napalm Records which included five albums. A harpist was added to the band's line-up and they proceeded to record ''Memorandum'' (1999).
''Burning: A Wish'' from 2001 was Lacrimas Profundere's first album to receive attention from the international specialized press. This album featured the removal of the band's classical elements to some degree, and was also the first time they employed baritone vocals, supplied by Oliver's brother, Christopher Schmid. Their first international tour then began, including countries of Europe and Latin America.
Lacrimas Profundere's subsequent albums were ''Fall, I Will Follow'' from 2002 and ''Ave End'' from 2004.
''Filthy Notes For Frozen Hearts'' received considerable attention from Jackass star Bam Margera and the songs Velvet Little Darkness, Short Glance, and Should were played on his show Bam's Unholy Union.
In April of 2007, Christopher Schmid, the band's founding member and vocalist left the band; citing prolonged stress from touring. It did not take long to find a new vocalist: Peter Kafka, who also sings for the deusch band sonicslave.
In July of 2007, Tony Chierichetti was added to the band as lead pianist. However he will be unable to tour with the band until after the production of his play and his graduation from highschool.
