Het grote Lacrimosa is een superband-topic.

Ik ga denk ik voor het album waar Jan Yrlund aan meeheeft gewerkt.

Deed Jan Yrlund ook mee? Met Ancient Rites en Danse Macabre maakt ie dan betere muziek.

"Then, after Two Witches, you popped up in Lacrimosa, If I'm not mistaken...when and how did you ended up in this band? What did you achieve with these goth's? How was that chapter of your musical career...Again this band wasn't that close to your door I presume, how did u managed that?

- This is a long one, huh. Well to start with, Anne played in Two Witches when I was in the band. She joined Lacrimosa later, I think in 1993. So I knew her very good. When Tilo wanted to change his concept for the next Lacrimosa CD, he wanted it to be more heavy and "real". I don't know if you know old Lacrimosa material, but it's with drumcomputer and with "rock" guitar. Well anyway, Anne remembered me and invited me to come over. So I traveled to Basel, where we three listened music, played some and so on. Tilo liked my playing a lot and then we went to the studio. That's how the CD "Inferno" was started. Even though I didn't write the music, I really enjoyed it and I got free hands to arrange all the guitar parts and stuff. So it was totally cool. We became very good friends during those months in the studio. I felt the music in a very emotional way, which was for me a new experience. For me this period meant a lot, because this was the biggest (& most expensive) product I ever had worked for. After the CD we also recorded a single and went on a tour. The tour was for me a true experience, very fine organized, a LOT of fans, big festivals and so on. And the album became very successful. We also released video-clips, played some other festivals later and so on. However you would think that the music is not my cup of tee, I think you're wrong, because I've always been able to adjust myself to challenges I've been facing. I will always keep my "style", but also try to fulfill the needs of the music in a creative way. So I could manage fine...

Why did you leave Lacrimosa, or were you kicked out? (-I hope this question isn't too spicey!-)

- There are many reasons and also many different ways to look at this. I think from my side the music comes first. The reasons why I liked "Inferno" weren't there anymore when we started to record "Stille". I wouldn't say that I didn't like the music, it just didn't touch me on a same level "Inferno" did. So I couldn't find myself in this. And of course that had an effect on my performance, I didn't believe in it. Obviously Tilo didn't like that either. On the other hand Tilo felt a deep pressure after "Inferno" which was so successful. So the next record had to be much better. This time he wrote all the guitar solos and melodies, all the drum parts and so on. As a musician I felt like thrown in a corner, because my creativity wasn't needed anymore, I just had to play 1 to 1 after what he wrote. And maybe I also thought that I still had changes to be creative, but the reality hit me. So all of the time I was pissed off and when I'm pissed off he's pissed off and so on. We are just like little kids with this. I think my fault was that I though we were a band, but Lacrimosa never have been a band. Only this time I felt more than ever as a studio-musician, but also that I was used. That's not what music is for me. That's why we decided together that it's not worth of losing a very beautiful relationship through this kind of bullshit. And I left. He was very sorry and tried still to convince me not to do this, but I couldn't continue like this. However, I promised to help them out if they were in trouble, which I also did by playing a couple of festivals next summer and by recording one more video-clip "Stolzes Hertz" for them in september 1996. So I think it's a bit complicated, but only through different ways of looking at music. I guess we just had different needs and had grown apart after four years together. Anyway, we're still very good friends and an example of this was the A.R. gig in Zwitserland this tour, where Tilo and Anne came to watch our show and have a couple of drinks with us..."

Is het vergelijkbaar met Rammstein, of System of a Down of zo?

Zijn er nog Lacrimosa-fans?

Ik ben vanaf het eerste moment dat ik een nummer hoorde helemaal weg van Lacrimosa, vooal het album Elodia vind ik helemaal te gek. Het is een soort rock opera met één doorlopend verhaal over fatale liefde. Op Fassade komt daar nog een soort vervolgnummer over "Der Morgen Danach". Ze zingen alles in het Duits en dat klinkt super (duits uitspreken), helaas ook wel eens wat in het Engels zoals "The turning point" en dat is dan ook meteen van dat....ehm..duitse engels. Ook wel grappig en dan met de letterlijke nadruk op grappig.

Ik vind die Engelse nummers waarbij Anne Nurmi alleen zingt het minste, maar die samen met Tilo zijn wel tof.
