Get the lacreme angels mug.Awesomeness.
Great compositions classical, metal and dark wave bundled together in an epic whole!
They started as a darkwave Gothic group with dark (and awesome!) albums such as Angst but then became more symphonic as years rolled on (still awesome actually awesomer), also adding elements of metal...
The best band around, all genres mixed.
