After the said releases, the band was granted a deal with Napalm Records, which included five albums. A harpist was added to the band's line-up and they proceeded to record Memorandum (1999).
Burning: A Wish from 2001 was Lacrimas Profundere's first album to receive attention from the international specialized press. This album featured the removal of the band's classical elements to some degree, and was also the first time they employed baritone vocals, supplied by Oliver's brother, Christopher Schmid. Their first international tour then began, including countries of Europe and Latin America.
Lacrimas Profundere's subsequent albums were Fall, I Will Follow from 2002 and Ave End from 2004.
Filthy Notes For Frozen Hearts received considerable attention from Jackass star Bam Margera and the songs "My Velvet Little Darkness", "Short Glance", "Should" and "Sweet Caroline" along with a vocal excerpt from "Sad Theme for a Marriage" were played on his show Bam's Unholy Union.
In April 2007, Christopher Schmid, the band's founding member's brother and vocalist left the band; citing prolonged stress from touring. It did not take long to find a new vocalist: Peter Kafka, who also sings for the German band Sonicslave. The former singer Christopher Schmid still takes part of the writing of the new lyrics, however, and has occasionally been seen singing for the band in concerts. A few months later bassist Daniel Lechner left the band and vocalist Peter Kafka became the new bassist. Rob Vitacca employed as the new vocalist, who also sings for the German Rock band Lost. Long time keyboardist Christian Steiner also left the band, but supplied some parts for the new album. Songs For The Last View was released in the summer of 2008. This was the first album featuring their new singer, Rob Vitacca.
Lacrimas Profundere's, The Grandiose Nowhere was released on 30 April 2010. The album spawned two singles "The Letter" and "Lips". Videos for each song were made; they also toured in places across Asia and South America.
Antiadore was released on May 24, 2013, with two music videos for "My Release in Pain" and "Antiadore", as their last album for the contract with Napalm Records.
In June 2016, Lacrimas Profundere signed with a new label, Oblivion/SPV, whom they collaborated with for the production and distribution of their eleventh studio album, Hope is Here, which was released on August 12, 2016. With the release of said album, the band moved slightly away from their classic gothic tendencies, in lieu of a sound resembling more closely that of alternative rock. Following the release of Hope is Here, the band toured across Germany and Austria.
In May 2018, Oliver Schmid announced through the bands' social media and on their website, that Rob Vitacca had decided to leave the band in pursuit of other musical projects, "LACRIMAS just cannot work without complete and constant dedication. And giving such a full-time commitment simply isn't possible for Rob anymore." The band took very little time to find a new vocalist, Julian Larre, who is also a founding member of the Finnish band Lessdmv.
In celebration of 25 years as a band, the band went back to the band's roots with a more gothic sound and guttural voices on Bleeding the Stars. This was the first album featuring their new vocalist, Julian Larre.

In our arms again
You can't believe

You shouldn't care
As long you are here
Just let us die
In our arms again
You can't believe
What you mean to me
Please leave me later
The lyrics to Lacrimas Profundere's Sad Theme for a Marriage are heart-wrenching and speak to the pain of a relationship that has run its course. The refrain of "just let us die in our arms again" is a plea to the partner to let the relationship end naturally, without causing any more hurt or suffering. The singer acknowledges that everything is gone for now and that there is no use in pretending otherwise. However, they find solace in the fact that their partner is still with them and they are not alone in this difficult time.
The line "you can't believe what you mean to me" is a message to the partner that even though the relationship is ending, the love and affection that was once there is still present. It's a way of expressing gratitude for the time they spent together and acknowledging how much the partner means to them. The final line of "please leave me later" is a request for the partner to not abandon them completely, but to be there for them even after the relationship ends.
Overall, Sad Theme for a Marriage is a powerful and emotional song that captures the pain and complexity of romantic relationships.

+Gloomy Sunday "Exactly, baritones can only sing baritone, and him singing baritone with the feeling and emotions he puts into his singing is why I like him as much as Type O and why I like The 69 Eyes.
