Lacrimas Profundere have released Faceless, with a video, three days before the album that carries it. Lay Me Down O Silent Fear is out on 25 September through Steamhammer.
Guitarist Oliver Nikolas Schmid offers the reference himself, and it is not one the band's first decade would have suggested: what would it sound like, he asks, if Bring Me The Horizon covered Queen. Faceless is the answer he gives to his own question.
The band formed in 1993 and have spent the years since moving steadily away from the doom death they started in and towards something the German press now files under gothcore. Whether the new record settles that or moves again is three days away from being answerable.
