Schmid: “Each song on this album deals with that theme. The atmospheric, deep black cover artwork was designed by Indonesian artist Bahrull Marta and underlines the songs’ dense atmosphere and great depth of focus that supports the actual theme of the album: the desire to simply disappear, to be invisible and not have to deal with yourself and the outside world anymore. Like “Bleeding The Stars”, “How To Shroud Yourself With Night” was produced by Kristian ‘Kohle’ Kohlmannslehner at his Kohlekeller Studios in Seeheim and mastered by Tom Porcell at the Limetree Studios. Who wouldn’t be tempted to flirt with a sequel to that success story? “For me, it was about liberating myself from the pressure to succeed and about trying to raise the bar, staying ahead of the game, challenging myself and staying true to ourselves, instead of playing it safe and writing some kind of ‘Bleeding Part II’,” explains guitarist, band founder and main composer Oliver Nikolas Schmid, who once again found invaluable support in his brother and lyricist Christopher Schmid

For Lacrimas Profundere, one of the most innovative and successful German dark metal bands of our time, their latest studio album “How To Shroud Yourself With Night” was primarily about the implicit burden imposed by their 2019 hit record “Bleeding The Stars”, whose success had indirectly raised huge expectations: “Album of the Month” in magazines such as Metal Hammer, Orkus and Dead Rhetoric, top 10 positions in other important publications, plus a chart entry and the group’s most successful headlining tour to date. It’s often the most difficult challenges that force a musician to grow artistically. The new track is accompanied by a music video (see below). Music is art and art is brave! Gothic meets Metalcore…sounds strange? Check it out. This track is very important to the band, because it’s proof that you can still come up with something new, surprising, and different. Lacrimas Profundere have finally unleashed “The Curtain Of White Silence”, the third single from their upcoming new album “How To Shroud Yourself With Night”.
