The German GOTHCORE band Lacrimas Profundere is 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”.
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”!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 3 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.”
