I don't think words can express the emotion conveyed on this album. While it is easy to dismiss them as an Anathema or a softer, gentler My Dying Bride imitation, I think the simple fact is that this man has probably one of the best voices in the entire genre. Quite possibly he has the best voice in music right now. The lyrics are simple yet quite meaningful given a couple listens. I think anyone that has days when they don't even want to get out of bed should listen to this. It sure as hell won't perk you up, but it'll definitly relate. And I think that's the best thing an album or a band can do.

Burning: A Wish just makes me want to cry. The music is so powerful and enthralling. These men are true musicians and their lyrics are powerful as well. Christopher Shcmid's voice is just soul-bearing and the symphonic range of the instruments is just beautiful. When I first bought this album I must have listened to it over and over and over again 95 times in a row!

Just get this! Very good album overall, my favourite song being Diotima.

If you like this you should like: Lacrimosa, Katatonia, Anathema, Stratovarius, Adagio, etc

This cd is just as good as Fall, I will follow but it's a little more melacholic sounding. It's somewhat mid tempo gothic metal with some doom parts from time to time. I tend to like the following release a little better but this is one fine album from Lacrimas.

If you have always enjoyed Lacrimas Profundere you will not be disappointed with this album...at all. If you are new to doom metal this is a fantastic place to start for you. The musicianship is wonderful as are the vocals. This is a must have for metal fans of any genre.
