After a wonderful debut album, ...and the Wings Embraced Us, and La Naissance D'Un Rêve, Lacrimas Profundere sign a contract with a rising force, Napalm Records. They start working on new ideas and finally "Memorandum" gets released in 1999 making the band known to a wider audience with their melodic doom/death metal, enriched by orchestral/classical influences and having a sense of gothic in it. Mostly Anathema and a bit of My Dying Bride seem to float in the air at times while listening to "Memorandum", yet without copying them. Lacrimas Profundere is one of the bands that harmonize wonderfully their influences with their own ideas enriching them with pure emotions haunting the listener keeping him imprisoned under a veil of bleakness in a sea of tears. The compositions remain complex and for the first time the production is the one that such a wonderful band deserves. The violin and the piano's melodies add a special feeling in Lacrimas Profundere's sound, along with the keyboard ideas, while the atmosphere-evoking guitar riffing paves wonderfully the way for Christopher Schmid to show the grandeur of his voice, not only his deep grunts, but also his melodic clear voice that harmonizes painfully with the bitter musical background. Lacrimas Profundere combine the lyricism and classical music influences of their first two releases with a gothic sense caressing their melodic doom/death with deep inspiration flowing from within making "Memorandum" maybe their best release u
