A profound insight into the soul of L'ÂME IMMORTELLE!!!
Following the album „Gezeiten“, the two singles „5 Jahre“ and „Stumme Schreie“ as well as an exciting tour last October, it’s about time we thanked you for your fantastic support during the last few weeks:
„After recovering a bit from the tour stress, we have reviewed all the events of the last few weeks for you summing them up in an extensive tour report which you can find on our homepage under „Reports“ from Friday, 17th December 2004. We had such a good time and I would like to thank all spectators because only thanks to their energy we were able to perform the way we did. However, we didn’t and we don’t have time to relax as we are very busy working on the third single from GEZEITEN. You will find more information about it soon on these pages“.
So, if you want to gain a profound insight into the soul of this band, if you want to know why Sonja sometimes doesn’t wear a skirt when she’s on stage, why L’ÂME IMMORTELLE now and then like to sing in bananas or what „Bernd, the bread“ has to do with „Gezeiten“ you shouldn’t miss this tour report. At the same time, you can take a look at the best tour photos on that homepage.
"Without you, we’re nothing!", Thomas Rainer.
Sonja on her own

NEW ALBUM, “GEZEITEN”!!!
Now that Sonja and Thomas have been celebrating their first singles chart success with their current single, “5 Jahre”, Monday, September 20th, 2004 sees them releasing the accompanying, highly-anticipated album, “Gezeiten” (‘Tides’).
Produced by the legendary John A. Rivers (Dead Can Dance) and Rhys Fulber (Fear Factory, Paradise Lost, Front Line Assembly) at London’s Woodbine Street Studio, the album “Gezeiten” deals with deep emotions somewhere between love, sadness, resignation, anger and pain. “It’s about people”, according to mastermind Thomas Rainer, “who can’t find their way to each other anymore. It’s about people like you and me.”
Along with an 11 track standard edition, “Gezeiten” will also be available in a limited digipak-edition, featuring two bonus tracks: “Believe In Me” and “Without You”, as well as two 16-page booklets.
