Goodbye 2006

Today is the last day of 2006, another year that comes to an end.

It was a year full of good things and some not so good...
The worst thing that happened to me this year was definitely the death of my dog Pandora but she will remain forever in my heart.

Let's see what 2007 brings into my life!

Insanity

A perfectly rational adjustment in this insane world.

Dead Boy's Poem

"If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it
Remember only the verse, songmaker`s cry, the one without tears
For I`ve given this its strength and it has become my only strength.
Comforting home, mother`s lap, chance for immortality
Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew
The sweet piano writing down my life

Teach me passion for I fear it`s gone
Show me love, hold the lorn
So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
I`m sorry
Time will tell (this bitter farewell)
I live no more to shame nor me nor you

And you... I wish I didn`t feel for you anymore..."

Lacrimosa

In November 1990 the swiss music scene started to get curious about Tilo Wolff's Projekt LACRIMOSA as his music in form of a tape "Clamor" reached the people of the underground scene. This melancholic music filled with classical elements, surrounding poetic lyrics and topped by an emotional voice was something which fascinated many and quickly a scene was raising up, which was nearly already forgotten.

For his first release, the LP "Angst", Tilo Wolff found his own label HALL OF SERMON for giving LACRIMOSA the entire artistical freedom. The music of LACRIMOSA was already that time developing from album to album without adapting any other music styles or denying its roots. Through this progressive development, LACRIMOSA was challenging the tolerance of a widespread audience in the diverse facets of music-lovers around the world.

LACRIMOSA's music had been coloured by several guest musicians, but in the beginning of 1994 Anne Nurmi joined the former soloproject to become a permanent member. Anne Nurmi, who was the keyboarder, singer and one of the grounders of the finnish band TWO WITCHES, was setting new musical accents with her singing and composing.

The following releases were managing to combine the roughness of Metal and Gothic Rock, without loosing the most obvious love for classical music. With this revolutionary sound, LACRIMOSA was pioneer and obstetrician for music styles like Gothic Metal and Symphonic Metal, which both became a huge trend!

300 - The Movie

Synopsis

Based on the epic graphic novel by Frank Miller, “300” is a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army. Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspire all of Greece to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy.
The film brings Miller’s (Sin City) acclaimed graphic novel to life by combining live action with virtual backgrounds that capture this distinct vision of this ancient historic tale.

This film has been rated “R” for “graphic battle sequences throughout, some sexuality and nudity.”
