Better Noise Music [Release date 10.07.26] The female-fronted pop metal genre is a fairly crowded space these days. We have – for example – Ad Infinitum (Switzerland), Elysion (Greece) and not forgetting the trailblazers who are sounding as good as … Continue reading →

The Texan outlaw country singer Blaze Foley was never a big name during his lifetime, but his legend has grown since he was shot dead in 1989 at the age of 39. Foley has been the subject of tribute songs like Lucinda Williams’ “Drunken Angel,” and Ethan Hawke directed and starred in the 2018 biopic Blaze. On Friday, we’ll get the new tribute album Sittin’ With Blaze, which features Foley covers from people like Phosphorescent, John Moreland, and the aforementioned Lucinda Williams. Today, Lucy Dacus shared her own contribution.

Lacrimas Profundere, the Munich-based gothic metal band now in its 33rd year, has announced a new album, Lay Me Down O Silent Fear, due September 25 via Steamhammer. The announcement is accompanied by a music video for the debut single “O Silent Fear.”

The album marks Lacrimas Profundere’s first full-length in four years, a period during which the band performed more than 100 concerts across Europe, including appearances at major festivals and a support slot on a European tour with Paradise Lost in autumn 2025. The band has performed in 40 countries throughout its career and has earned consistent chart placements and “Album of the Month” distinctions for its previous releases.

Pre-order the album here.

Lay Me Down O Silent Fear finds Lacrimas Profundere drawing from a particularly wide palette. Vocalist Oliver Nikolas Schmid framed the album’s opening track with a question: what would “Bohemian Rhapsody” sound like if Bring Me the Horizon covered it? “We don’t know, but at least we tried,” he said with a grin. The answer, as the track “Days Of Doom” immediately delivers, is a sprawling charge across a Mad Max-like sonic wasteland.

The album’s range extends from the gothic-metalcore collision of “Faceless” to the multi-layered ballad “Veil XV,” the goth-rock directness of “Nevermore” and the near-Slipknot-intensity of “A Sinful Desire.” “Arcane Promises” carries the melodic spirit of Sentenced’s classic-era material. At the same time, “Heart I Will Break You Before You Break Me” sets the emotional weight of Anathema against the raw presence of Glen Danzig. The debut single “O Silent Fear” navigates the space between Amorphis, Arch Enemy and HIM.

Lacrimas Profundere was founded in Munich in 1993. The band has released over a dozen studio albums on Steamhammer and its predecessor labels over a career spanning three decades, consistently building an international audience through relentless touring and an ever-evolving sound rooted in gothic and atmospheric metal.
