Fassade (English: Facade) is the seventh album by German duo Lacrimosa released on 1 October 2001 by Hall of Sermon and Nuclear Blast.
The album's cover shows a crowd of men and women identically dressed in what can be assumed to be grey (the album's cover is in greyscale), emotionlessly watching three women wearing gothic lingerie parade down a catwalk.
Every single individual in the audience has his or her head wired to the person next to them, implying that they are all part of a hivemind.
The only person present other than the models and the audience is Lacrimosa's trademark clown, standing in a side door.
noted that the German vocals added to the overall "doom and gloom atmosphere" but was reluctant about the fact that all songs seemingly end too abruptly.
