Bandinfo

The band LACRIMA CHRISTI presents nearly all types of death metal and its roots.
Some material contains non-typical elements. That sometimes makes it difficult to listen to that music, but it always keeps it interesting.
Most of the songs are compelely different from each other, so it is not easy to catigorize. LACRIMA CHRISTI have found a kind of free-style beyond the well-known pigeonholes.

The lyrics reach the same bandwidth as the music: From Fantasy to Surrealism in order to describe reality.

On stage the band attaches importance to clear sound-structures. I.e. the performance should be done without exaggerated volumes.
