Rating: THE REVIEW
An excellent album by the German band Lacrimosa for those who love gothic metal, a "cult" album released in 1999 by the production company "Hall of Sermon", which they later left for the more famous "Nuclear Blast".
Compared to the previous album "Stille" released in 1997, Tilo Wolff's company proves to be much darker but with interesting insights like in "Am ende der stille" and with Anne Nurmi's stunning high-pitched voice in "Halt Mich"… the piece in English "The Turning Point" is also beautiful… perhaps the only downside of this album is the overly long tracks like "Ich verlasse heut' Dein Herz" with its 8:29 and "Sanctus" at 14:09… truly suicide-inducing…
However, listenable and melodic, the music is very relaxing and very dark, and for those who do not love the genre, it's better to take a different path!!!

Summary by Bot
Lacrimosa's Elodia is a cult gothic metal album known for its dark, melodic sound and haunting vocals by Anne Nurmi. The album features epic tracks, though some may find the longer songs taxing. Overall, it's a must-listen for fans of the genre, but less suitable for those unfamiliar with gothic metal.Tracklist Lyrics Videos

A quite fitting phrase to summarize an album that speaks of Love, an intense love, a fire that no longer burns as it used to and that will lead to a dramatic end.
Among Latin choirs, elegant symphonic parts, majestic, and gothic inserts, fifteen minutes of pure joy for the ears pass by, for a requiem that could very well conclude the album.
