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.
Supreme Surrender
Lacrimas Profundere Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To let me in your pillar-heart again
It sounds perverted but it's true
Without you
I give you all but you want more
Sad believe
To every little shallow thing
I agreed
And give up
It's a supreme surrender
Without your tears it is over for me baby
You could save it all but you say maybe
Go on
And leave
It all
It won't be told again
A face in the crowd

Line by Line Meaning
Please let me be and I would do everything to
I am begging you to let me be myself and I will do anything to have your love again
To let me in your pillar-heart again
I want to be close to your heart like a strong and unbreakable pillar again
It sounds perverted but it's true
Even though it may sound strange, this is how I feel and it's genuine
Without you
My life is incomplete without you and I cannot imagine living without you
I give you all but you want more
I have given you everything I have, but you always ask for more
Sad believe
I have a pessimistic belief that our relationship is doomed
To every little shallow thing
I have agreed to everything, even the shallow and unimportant things
So throw away what we once had
Our past relationship is over and we need to move on
And give up
We need to accept that our relationship is over
It's a supreme surrender
Giving up our relationship is the only option we have left
Without your tears it is over for me baby
Without your emotions and feelings, our relationship is finished
You could save it all but you say maybe
You have the power to save our relationship, but you are not sure if you want to
Go on
You need to move forward without me
And leave
You need to walk away and leave me behind
It all
Everything we had together
It won't be told again
Our story and relationship will never be repeated
A face in the crowd
I will become just another stranger in the crowd, with our memories being nothing more than just a face in the crowd
