Leaether Strip covers Depeche Mode and Lili Marleen on new album 'Aengelmaker'

Claus Larsen has revealed the details of his upcoming album "Aengelmaker" which is now available in pre-order via Alfa Matrix. The album is inspired by the story of the Danish female mass-murderer Dagmar Overbye who was convicted of murdering at least 25 children between 1913 and 1925. She ran an advert in the newspaper where she offered to find adoptive parents for mothers in need of money. She actually murdered them the day they arrived and cremated them in her fireplace. During her trial, all the truth about her own abused childhood resurfaced. Her story inspired Danish solo-artist Claus Larsen to write "Aengelmaker". How can one forget his/her own abuse? How can one go through the hatred towards minorities? These questions resurfaced Larsen's own deep buried memories to haunt him again.

Hall of Sermon is proud to announce the following news from LACRIMOSA: Four years ago we released with ‘Lichtgestalt’ our last studio album up until now and subsequently we were on tour for 1.5 years during which we had several memorable encounters with our audience from Berlin to Moscow and from Peking to Buenos Aires. Many of these impressions were being captured in the concert film ‘Lichtjahre’. But all these people, their emotions and enthusiasm for our music left marks leading to a close connection with them and which were exciting sources of inspiration for us in the end. That’s why we’re all the more pleased to release on 8th May 2009 our new studio album, whose musical and contextual centre is made up by one word that, in its variety of individual perception, still remains clear in its essence and therefore is the fitting title for this album: ‘Sehnsucht’.
