Many of L'âme Immortelle's songs feature melancholy or lovelorn lyrics in German or English, and juxtaposed harsh male and emotional female vocals. Current work has moved away from the band's electronic roots into the neue deutsche härte (New German hardness) genre.
L'âme Immortelle was formed in 1996 in Vienna, Austria by friends Thomas Rainer and Hannes Medwenitsch. Soon vocalist Sonja Kraushofer, a former classmate of Rainer, joined and the band sought a record contract. They released their first album, "Lieder die wie Wunden bluten" in 1997 on MOS Records in Lichtenstein, which became popular in the underground German Goth subculture. In 1999, L'âme Immortelle switched to Trisol Records. From 1998 through 2001, L'âme Immortelle released another LP yearly, each bringing the band greater popularity. In 2002, Medwenitsch left the band. Kraushofer and Rainer recruited Ashley Dayour as a guitarist and the re-formed L'âme Immortelle released a new single, "Tiefster Winter" in November 2002. In 2003, L'âme Immortelle released "Als die Liebe starb", as well as "Seelensturm", a collection of re-issued and re-mixed early material.
In 2004, the band switched labels again, this time to major label Supersonic, a subsidiary of Sony BMG Music Entertainment. The first issue following the switch was a collaboration with OOMPH! on the non-album single "Brennende Liebe" (released as OOMPH! feat. L'âme Immortelle); they also appeared in the video. Following that, L'âme Immortelle released a new album, "Gezeiten", which includes some of their most popular songs like "5 Jahre", "Stumme Schreie" and "Fallen Angel". A significant change in L'âme Immortelle's style is evident now that the band is on a major label; notably the electronic instrumentation of earlier work was less prominent in "Gezeiten".
Their latest album "Auf deinen Schwingen" has been released on August 2006 along with "Phönix" single. The record also includes songs like "Wohin" which contains text from another famous LAI song called "Aus den Ruinen", and "Nur Du" — a song which totally differs from older L'âme Immortelle work. The music video for this song is a cartoon, an unusual thing for the band.

Disharmony
L'Âme Immortelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tear apart my withered state
The written words no longer rhyme
A broken soul, the paper torn
Letters that once made up words
Don`t have a meaning anymore
Carried away by nighttime birds
The songs I wrote fade with the wind
As the wheel of ages turns
The muses once upon me grinned
But now they speak no more
Notes that made up melodies
Distort into disharmony
Like a ghost that swiftly flees
And vanishes as daybreak comes
The lyrics to L'Âme Immortelle's "Disharmony" paint a picture of a poet or songwriter who feels as though their creativity is fading away. The first stanza describes the passage of time, which tears apart the writer's "withered state," leaving them broken and unable to write. The words no longer fit together in a coherent way, and the paper is torn, symbolizing the destruction of the poet's work.
In the second stanza, the writer explores the meaninglessness of the words they once wrote, which have been carried away by "nighttime birds." The blank page left behind represents a lack of inspiration and creativity. The third stanza describes the fading away of the songs the writer once composed, as the wheel of ages turns. The muses, who were once sources of inspiration, have stopped communicating with the poet. The final stanza compares the writer's fading melodies to a ghost that vanishes as daybreak comes - once the light hits the melody, it dissolves into disharmony.
Overall, "Disharmony" speaks to the fragility of creativity and the pain that comes with losing the ability to write or compose music. The lyrics express a sense of loss and hopelessness, as if the writer is mourning the loss of their creativity and sense of purpose.
Line by Line Meaning
My poems fade as flows of time
As time passes, my poems lose their vibrancy and eloquence
Tear apart my withered state
My deteriorated state exacerbates the fading of my poems
The written words no longer rhyme
The words in my poems lack proper cadence and sound
A broken soul, the paper torn
My soul is in disrepair, and the paper on which my poems were written is tattered
Letters that once made up words
The individual letters that previously comprised meaningful words
Don`t have a meaning anymore
No longer coalesce and signify anything
Carried away by nighttime birds
The fragments of my writing drawn away by the creatures of the night
A blank page left to die
An empty, barren paper left to decay
The songs I wrote fade with the wind
My songs lose their resonance and tone as they are carried away by the wind
As the wheel of ages turns
As time passes and generations change
The muses once upon me grinned
The goddesses of inspiration who favored me in the past no longer smile upon me
But now they speak no more
My muses no longer impart to me inspiration or creativity
Notes that made up melodies
The individual notes that once formed harmonious melodies
Distort into disharmony
No longer producing musical harmony but instead producing discord
Like a ghost that swiftly flees
Disappearing rapidly like a phantom
And vanishes as daybreak comes
Fading away with the rising of the day
