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.
Short Glance
Lacrimas Profundere Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One breath is guaranteed
A short relation bleeds
And that is what to leave
Hold on and lead a break
Full of tumbling sheets
Or what we can believe
Or think that it's over
You shouldn't hold me back
Please understand what you did
And go away later
I swear I will hold on
We crush in tears
And threats are far away
A long yearning
We shouldn't calm on them
And all the sickest lies
I can't believe it's over and it's clear
And you don't hear
I cannot leave your eyes
Or think that it's over
You shouldn't hold me back
Please understand what you did
And go away later
I swear I will hold on
Your love's my heroin
The lyrics of Lacrimas Profundere's Short Glance delve into the complex emotions and varying perceptions of a tumultuous and short-lived relationship. The repeated refrain of "I cannot leave your eyes or think that it's over" highlights the singer's reluctance to let go of the other person, despite the knowledge that the relationship is doomed to end. The singer implores the other person to understand the pain they have caused and to give them the space to heal and move on.
The middle stanza of the song shifts the focus to the aftermath of the relationship. The image of "crushing in tears" and the acknowledgement of "sickest lies" suggests that the end was not a peaceful or smooth dissolution. Nevertheless, the singer remains committed to holding on and processing their emotions, even though it is clear that the other person has moved on.
Overall, the lyrics of Short Glance capture the raw and complicated feelings that can arise from a relationship that burns bright and brief.
Line by Line Meaning
Go on go on
Continue with what you're doing
One breath is guaranteed
Life is limited and unpredictable
A short relation bleeds
A brief romantic relationship can be painful
And that is what to leave
Ending a short-lived relationship is the best option
Hold on and lead a break
Take a break to sort things out
Full of tumbling sheets
Intense physical intimacy during the relationship
Or what we can believe
Questioning what is true and what is not
I cannot leave your eyes
I am entranced by your gaze
Or think that it's over
I refuse to accept that the relationship has ended
You shouldn't hold me back
You should not prevent me from moving on
Please understand what you did
Take responsibility for your actions
And go away later
Give me space to heal before resuming contact
I swear I will hold on
I will persevere despite the pain
We crush in tears
We are overcome with sadness
And threats are far away
External dangers do not matter in the face of internal turmoil
A long yearning
A deep desire for something out of reach
We shouldn't calm on them
We should not suppress our emotions
And all the sickest lies
The painful truth about the relationship
I can't believe it's over and it's clear
The realization that the relationship is truly over
And you don't hear
Your emotional distance and lack of understanding
Your love's my heroin
Your love is addictive and consuming

Déjame decirte que tu comentario es un poco desacertado.
La voz de Christopher es mucho mas grave que la de Rob.
Si viste el recital en vivo que contiene la edición especial de "Songs For The Last View" podes darte cuenta que Rob trata de imitar la voz de Chris en todo momento. No llega a los registros vocales de Chris ya que son dos voces completamente distintas.
Si ves videos recientes en vivo, podes notar que la voz de Rob ya no es la misma.
Pienso que la etapa de Rob ya llegó a su fin. La banda sinceramente ya no es la misma. Hubo muchos cambios de integrantes, y de su sonido también.
Y no te olvides de que Chris sigue siendo miembro de la banda, incluso él es el que escribe la mayoría de los temas y también colabora haciendo las segundas voces en algunas canciones. Como por ejemplo, los guturales de "My Release In Pain", entre otros.
Ojala en un futuro vuelva a aparecer pero ya como la voz principal de la banda.
Espero sepas entender mi opinión! Un gran saludo para ti!
