Lacrimosa

Wolff has a deep, strong voice; many people thinks that his voice and the German language give the perfect sound for Gothic music. Anne balances it with a crystal-clear, pure voice and her skills on the keyboard.

Timeline

• 1988 - 1990: Tilo Wolff and Cristian Dorch record two albums that reach very low sales. They begin to use the name "Lacrimosa".
• 1991: Tilo Wolff founded a new record company called Hall of Sermon, just to edit his own records.
• 1994: Anne Nurmi joins the band. Tilo's idea was that she will only play keyboard, but with the time she will be a fundamental part of the band.
• 1998: Lacrimosa's first concert in Mexico. They return to Mexico almost every year since then, building a great relationship with their fans in that country.
• 1999: The consolidation, with the recording of Elodia, with the Symphonic Orchestra of London.
• 2001: Fassade brings a softer, purer sound to scene.

There are three important periods: an experimental one, a more metal, heavy period from 1995 followed by a more musical, cleaner period from 1999 to the present.
